The New York Giants made significant moves in the NFL Draft, selecting standout Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter as the third overall pick and trading back into the first round to snag Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at 25. Carter is expected to start immediately and is a strong candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year, while Dart will benefit from learning behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that Wilson will remain the starter, with Dart in a development role. General manager Joe Schoen likened the Giants’ quarterback situation to their time with the Bills when they faced challenges with rookie Josh Allen. He emphasized the importance of Dart sitting out while learning the complex NFL offense.
