Dan Orlovsky, Chase Daniels, and Todd Mcshay absolutely loving our pick of Dart and saying stuff like he could be the steal of the draft gets me pumped.

McShay was absolutely spot on in his evaluation of Daniel Jones..so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here

Regardless of who it was, it was time for us to start taking swings at the qb position.

I don't like the move but I understand why Daboll pushed for it and Schoen conceded.

Dart was my QB2 given how I saw him fitting Daboll's O but he has serious flaws and needs a ton of work. I think it is a one in five chance he becomes a good enough starter to justify what we gave up.

However, if Daboll wanted him and believes in him (and he clearly does) then this had to be done. It probably buys Schoen and Daboll an extra year on top of this season. It has to work though or it sets us back again.

It is hard to be confident in a positive outcome but they have taken the overdue swing and now we live in hope.

Daboll and Schoen on Dart

The mouth shrug on Joe Schoen was telling at times. I wonder what he's mentally struggling with. I think he loves the kid's makeup and personality and natural leadership ability. I think he may have had his own guy and was talked out of it and capitulated.

Welcome Jaxson "Dodge" Dart!

Carter and Dart it was a good day. The two players I wanted in the draft.

I like it !!!!!!  The QB room is a whole lot different than it has been for the last five years ....with this room the Giants have the ability to win some games now , be competitive in their division and  have a future starting day one of next season and beyond.

Absolutely love this pick. I've been high on Dart for months. Broke Eli's record in college now he has a chance to do it here in NY. Only 21 will be 22 when he takes over the reigns. I finally have something to be excited about!

Meanwhile in an interview, Sean Stellato said Tommy welcomes the competition.

Kind of like a guy driving a Prius accepting a drag race challenge from a guy driving a Vette

Meddling Mara's ultimatum. It's possible, as many others have said, that this isn't/wasn't the year to draft a QB. Maybe he was looking to bolster the roster and not give up future draft capital so he can be prepared for 2026.

That's a good theory, Tim. He did solidify the QB position by signing W&W. Maybe he liked WWD for a year.

Jaxson Dart becomes the third QB from Ole Miss of note to the New York Football 🏈 Giants.Quite a historical connection continued.

I like Dart, though not necessarily as a guy to trade up for. It's not like last year when I would have sacrificed a goat to get a real quarterback in here. We have Russ and Winston. But, if Daboll is sure he's the guy...

At least we sprang for Dart and not Sanders. That would have been a TV-out-the-window moment.

They were not draft just for this season.  Wilson is on a 1 year deal and Winston is not a starter.

Some more context on why the #Giants traded up to get Jaxson Dart, from multiple sources:

• Culture builder and competitor —reminiscent of Josh Allen in terms of guys wanting to play for him. He may be 21 years old, but leads like he's 35

• Elite leadership skills: Dart was a key cog helping Lane Kiffin recruit the portal at Ole Miss — watching film, making phone calls, texting, organizing dinners

• Giants felt "even more comfortable with Dart once the helmet came off." Commands a room

• Brian Daboll quickly realized Dart had the "heater" in his arsenal. Arm is more than strong enough

• Comparable to Bo Nix in terms of downfield touch throws

• "Has to win at everything. Not just football. Can be a card game, ping-pong, pickleball, basketball, Cherades, doesn't matter. The dude has to win."
