Part 8/10:
Jackson Dart is projected to be available in the second round, but trends indicate that second-round quarterbacks often face an uphill battle. Historically, only six quarterbacks have been selected in that round over the last decade. However, teams have also struck gold by nurturing lesser-known talents, as seen with the Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts, who thrived under a well-constructed roster.
If the Giants believe in Dart's potential, a strategic move may be to trade back into the late first round. This maneuver would afford the team a fifth-year option on Dart’s rookie deal—a significant edge for future roster-building. The question remains: will the Giants let Dart develop under a veteran's guidance for a year before taking the reins in 2026?
