The New York Giants had a very successful NFL Draft over the weekend. One of the most polarizing picks came when the Giants traded back into the first round Thursday to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 pick. Dart joins a quarterback room that includes veterans Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito .

Joe Schoen traded up into the first round of Thursday night’s NFL Draft to land the Giants a future franchise quarterback: Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart. And Dart, 21, was just as happy as the Giants that Schoen paid the Houston Texans the No. 34 overall pick of the second round, pick No. 99 in the third round and a future third to take him at No. 25.

There was a lot of divisiveness over the New York Giants trading back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to pick Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss. However, a former two-time Super Bowl champion running back with the Giants, Brandon Jacobs, seemingly believes picking Dart over Sheduer Sanders and other available quarterbacks was the right move.
