The New York Giants traded up to select quarterback Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 overall pick in the NFL Draft, aiming for a future solution at quarterback. Dart follows a stellar season at Mississippi, where he set multiple school records and garnered accolades. The Giants, having signed veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, can allow Dart to develop without immediate pressure. The decision reflects a strategic pivot after considering other prospects like Shedeur Sanders, with Dart being the second QB chosen in the draft.
Dart was the second QB selected in this year's draft after Cam Ward went No. 1 overall to Tennessee.
Dart, a 6-foot-2, 223-pound Utah native, improved his draft positioning with an outstanding senior season at Mississippi.
After taking Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall, New York acquired the 25th pick from Houston.
Dart has been on NFL scouts' radars since he was the national Gatorade Football Player of the Year during his senior year.
