The New York Giants solidified their quarterback strategy by selecting Ole Miss standout Jaxson Dart at the NFL draft, trading up to the 25th overall pick. Dart's arrival raises expectations within a franchise seeking rejuvenation following previous seasons of inconsistency.

Amidst this excitement, the Giants distanced themselves from Shedeur Sanders, whose pre-draft interview reportedly went poorly. Sanders, once projected as a top-five pick, slipped to the 144th overall selection, finally landing with the Cleveland Browns. The Giants' general manager Joe Schoen refrained from commenting on Sanders, choosing instead to focus on their newly acquired talent, while Sanders must now navigate a competitive quarterback room in Cleveland alongside veterans including Joe Flacco and Jameis Winston.
