As the NFL Draft approaches, the New York Giants remain one of the more intriguing teams to watch. Connor Hughes of SNY recently reported that Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is firmly on the Giants’ radar. According to Hughes, head coach Brian Daboll is especially high on Dart—ranking him just behind Cam Ward among potential QB options.
Is Jaxson Dart a Sneaky Trade-Up Target?
Hughes shared, “Jaxson Dart is a name to watch for the Giants as a trade-up option on Thursday…he’s someone Brian Daboll is high on — most out of QBs other than Cam Ward…Dart has that [toughness].”
That toughness could make Dart an ideal fit in Daboll’s offense, which demands poise under pressure and the ability to fight through adversity.
Trade-Up Talk Brings Questions
Of course, trading up comes at a price. The Giants would need to part with valuable draft capital to move into a spot where Dart might be available—likely in the middle or back end of the first round. That raises a critical question: is it worth it?
Personally, I’m a fan of Jaxson Dart. His arm talent, leadership, and ability to take hits and bounce back make him a great developmental option. But ideally, the Giants could land him in the second round without sacrificing key assets. That may be wishful thinking given how QB-needy teams are lining up this year.
No More Buzz Around Shedeur Sanders
Back in December, there was plenty of hype connecting Shedeur Sanders to the Giants. That talk has now cooled significantly. According to Hughes, “There’s not much out there right now connecting Shedeur Sanders to Giants. That hype has cooled dramatically.”
Could this be a strategic smokescreen? It’s possible. Teams often throw up distractions ahead of the draft. But for now, the Sanders-Giants link seems to have faded, leaving players like Dart and Ward as more realistic targets.
