In a surprising turn of events, the New York Giants pivoted from their initial focus on Shedeur Sanders to Jaxson Dart for the upcoming NFL Draft. General Manager Joe Schoen's shift in preference came as he and Head Coach Brian Daboll evaluated Dart, who now has a chance to develop behind seasoned veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. This decision reflects Schoen's commitment to making the best choices for the franchise, even when it diverges from previous inclinations.

With a challenging season ahead, Dart's development will be crucial. The Giants aim for stability despite last year's 3-14 record, with Schoen expressing confidence in the team's roster on paper. Both Schoen and Daboll are aware that Dart's success will ultimately define their tenures, especially following the costly extension of Daniel Jones that did not pan out.
