The New York Giants made headlines during the 2025 NFL draft by trading up to the No. 25 pick to select quarterback Jaxson Dart. Initially, they held the No. 3 pick and were expected to secure a top quarterback but instead chose defensive end Abdul Carter. Giants GM Joe Schoen expressed confidence in Dart's development, emphasizing the benefit of allowing him to learn behind veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

Despite the excitement surrounding Dart, questions linger about whether the Giants could have waited to select him at their original second-round pick. NFL insider Albert Breer pointed out concerns about competition for the Browns’ No. 33 pick, potentially driving up the cost. Ultimately, while Dart won’t be the starter at Week 1, his addition could significantly impact the Giants' future.
