New York Giants name Russell Wilson their starting quarterback.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll names Russell Wilson starting quarterback as training camp gets started. Daboll says that the other quarterbacks will get to compete but Wilson is at the top of the depth chart.
General manager Joe Schoen commented that Jaxson Dart has a long way to go but could “climb the ladder” as the season goes on. Jamesis Winston will have a role in this quarterback room as well but it’s clear that both are behind Wilson right now.
Wilson and Dart are both late round dart throws, Wilson represents a floor play while Dart has the upside and potential playoff week starts later in the season. Winston has been going mostly undrafted and that should remain the same.

Giants Rookie Quarterback Jaxson Dart is fitting right in with Team’s Scheme.
First-round pick Jaxson Dart is already turning heads at Giants minicamp, settling comfortably into Brian Daboll’s system. While veteran Russell Wilson is expected to start Week 1, Dart has drawn praise for his poise, work ethic, and leadership behind the scenes.
Coaches say Dart is picking up the playbook quickly and showing natural command during drills. Head coach Brian Daboll noted Dart’s presence and preparation have “stood out,” and team insiders believe the former Ole Miss star is a strong cultural fit with a skillset tailored for Daboll’s offense.
Though the Giants plan to bring him along slowly, Dart is clearly being groomed as the quarterback of the future in New York.

Giants GM Joe Schoen called Russell Wilson the outright starter on SiriusXM, noted that the team plans for Jaxson Dart to learn and develop in his first year.
Jaxson Dart landed well in the draft, the Giants traded back into the first round to select him at pick 25 and he will have one of the best receivers to throw to in Malik Nabers, should he get his chance. While the current plan is to have Dart sit for a year and develop, Joe Schoen noted that anything can happen in the NFL and he wants Dart to be ready in case his number is called. Schoen was assistant GM in Buffalo when they had a similar pre-season plan with Josh Allen, and we have seen how that ended up. Schoen did note that at the time Buffalo didn’t have quarterbacks like Russell Wilson (Or even Jameis Winston), so don’t get your hopes up too much for Dart in the 2025 season.

Giants Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will start the season behind starter Russell Wilson.
“He can come in, sit behind a couple veteran quarterbacks and learn” said GM Joe Schoen. Head coach Brian Daboll: “Russ will be our starter”. Jaxson Dart will learn the ropes behind Russell Wilson. Dart has underrated targets and a chance to learn behind a former super bowl champion.
Jaxson Dart is a great late round stash for his eventual starting nod. Deeper rosters can easily put Dart on their bench until he is ready in all formats.

While not a top 10 pick, the Giants grab a first round quarterback to develop for the future. By selecting Abdul Carter and then Dart, New York may be at a positive inflection point for their franchise.
Jaxson Dart does in fact rise all the way up to the second quarterback selected in the 2025 draft, and lands on a team that is showing signs of turning the franchise around. As a first round quarterback on a team with 2 viable starting QB’s on the roster, Dart should be able to sit and develop for a future starting position without getting thrown into the deep end right away. The Giants are still likely to add offensive players both in this draft and in 2026 to further help Dart once he takes over as the starter.
What this means for FastDraft is a complete stay away for this year, but it’s actually wheels up in SuperFlex Dynasty leagues, especially since he will likely fall to Round 2 in rookie drafts. Patience is a virtue that could potentially pay off big down the line for those who can afford to stash Dart for a year or two.

Talks of the New York Giants having a lock on Jaxson Dart have intensified, the team recently reported to Dan Graziano of ESPN that they prefer Dart as their QB.
Jaxson Dart rises as Shedeur Sanders falls. If the New York Giants actions follow the breadcrumbs, the two prospects have now potentially flipped in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. New York has the 3rd overall pick, which is about right for a franchise quarterback, and they are coming off a disasterpiece of a season with their QB room. Nobody is allowed to be surprised if they stay put and select Dart. This could also play out in other ways though: the Saints have been reportedly targeting Dart at pick 9, which would open the possibility for New York to trade down to picks 4-8 and still draft him. Or they could copycat the Houston Texans, select a more prudent player at 3 and trade back in to a top 8 pick for Dart.
GM Joe Schoen has not inspired confidence in strategic decision making or negotiations, selecting Dart to sit behind Russell Wilson (Or Jameis Winston) for a year might be the only way him and his coaching staff cling on to their jobs into next year. Given what we currently know, a very likely outcome is they stay put at 3 and select Dart — but I can also easily see them getting completely fleeced in a trade. I personally believe Jaxson Dart has what it takes, and its fun comparing him to former Ole Miss and NY Giants legend Eli Manning. However, if Dart face plants, we’ll remember the Giants passing on JJ McCarthy and Michel Penix with pick 6 in the 2024 draft for years to come.
