Giants Select QB Jaxson Dart Third Overall in NFL Draft

The New York Giants made significant moves in the NFL Draft by selecting Penn State's Abdul Carter third overall and trading up to pick quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25, signaling a renewed focus on securing their quarterback of the future. Jaxson Dart, an Ole Miss product, was a top choice for coach Brian Daboll, whose background in developing successful quarterbacks played a key role in the decision. The pick comes amid reported tension between general manager Joe Schoen and Daboll, with sources noting the two have been operating less collaboratively following a disappointing season. Owner John Mara has emphasized the importance of solidifying the quarterback position, though internal dynamics and job security for the current regime remain uncertain. Dart's selection is seen as crucial for the future of both the coaching staff and front office, underscoring the high stakes for the team's leadership. The move also reflects the Giants' intent to rebuild around young talent and address past missteps at the quarterback position.
