The New York Giants made a big splash at the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night when they traded back into the first round to nab Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick. That's the good news.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills between the 2018-21 seasons, coinciding with Josh Allen's first four years in the NFL. So he's familiar with developing a young quarterback, which will be New York's task with Jaxson Dart.
