New York Giants: Finally, some hope. However, for the first time in a long time, there’s hope in New York. A glimmer of hope. The Giants traded up to draft QB Jaxson Dart (68.4 grade; 30th) with the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the former Ole Miss quarterback showed some promise in his rookie season, completing 63.7% of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. Dart plays a little fast and loose, and that reckless style of play has already seen him be evaluated for multiple concussions in 2025, but there’s a lot to like about the young gunslinger.
Dart will get the chance to lead the franchise forward in 2026, and even the notion that a young, exciting quarterback could lead the Giants forward is a positive. Even in Daniel Jones’s rookie season, there wasn’t this much excitement over what he could be, but Dart possesses the traits and the grit to succeed in the NFL. Dart will hopefully be joined by WR Malik Nabers, who tore his ACL in Week 4, and HB Cam Skattebo (80.5 grade; 13th), who suffered a season-ending ankle injury, in 2026 to form a young offensive core.
