The New York Giants decided to release starting quarterback Daniel Jones in the middle of the 2024 season. This officially ended the Daniel Jones era in New York.
Now, fans have their eyes on the 2025 NFL Draft, where they hope the team lands them a new franchise quarterback. A new A to Z Sports mock draft has the Giants taking a different approach in the first round, but their patience leads them to an intriguing QB in the second.
Giants select Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart in a new 2025 NFL mock draft

"The Giants draft the quarterback who finished 2024 ranked first in total yards per game, first in yards per play, first in adjusted yards per pass attempt, and top five in virtually every other meaningful rate stat for quarterback qualitative analysis here at pick 34. This could certainly end up being a steal for them as they look to put the Daniel Jones era behind them."

After passing on Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders for his teammate Travis Hunter, this mock draft has the Giants landing Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart. Dart is a polarizing prospect who has his fair share of critics. But it's undeniable that he had moments in college where he looked the part of a future NFL QB.
Sadly, those moments didn't occur consistently enough, so he isn't seen as a consensus first-round pick. If a team can find a way to unlock Dart's full potential, he could be the steal of the draft. More importantly, it could end up being the franchise QB that the Giants and their fans desperately need.
