2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants traded three picks to move up to select Dart 25th overall in this year’s draft. Dart is a bit of project, but he’ll have time to learn behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, at least to start the year. He completed 69.3 percent of his passes (9th in the nation) at Ole Miss last season and led FBS in YPA at 10.8. Dart has a quick release with solid velocity and puts good touch on intermediate routes. He can make plays with his legs, though sometimes is too eager to take off. Ole Miss’ offense did not always require him to consider the full field, and, according to scouts, he sometimes struggled when forced off his initial read. The biggest issue, though, might be that while he is a good all-around QB, he lacks an elite skill. Nevertheless, the Giants hope a rookie apprenticeship will develop him into their franchise QB. If he sees the field this year, he’ll get one of the league’s best WR targets in speedster Malik Nabers, and Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are decent secondary options. If Wilson struggles, Dart could see the field earlier than expected. Read Past Outlooks
Nabbed by Giants at 25
The Giants selected Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 25th overall.
ANALYSIS
The Giants traded back into the first round from their 34th selection, working with Houston at the 25th spot to make Dart the team's second selection of the first round. Quarterback remained a need for the Giants following the third-overall selection of edge defender Abdul Carter, and in theory the acquisition of Dart addresses that concern. Dart (6-foot-2, 223 pounds) was a very successful starter at Mississippi and logged some quality off-the-bench starts for USC as a true freshman before that, and now the Giants will hope he can provide an upgrade over the veteran duo of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. Dart offers more rushing ability than most quarterbacks and showed the ability to make some good throws in college, but Dart probably needs to do a better job of executing a play design through its conclusion -- in college he probably dropped his eyes and looked to run a little too easily. If Dart can harness his mobility and accuracy in a more refined form of himself then he could prove to be worth this selection.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Landed in right spot with G-Men
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests the Giants are the perfect team for Dart to have landed on.
ANALYSIS
New York traded back into the first round after taking Penn State's Abdul Carter No. 3 overall to nab Dart, who they selected out of Ole Miss with the 25th overall pick. Brooks cites Giants head coach Brian Daboll's past work in developing Josh Allen in Buffalo as reason to think he's the ideal initial NFL mentor for Dart, who possesses plenty of dual-threat skills in his own right and will have the luxury of learning behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston early on.
