The 2025 NFL draft featured plenty of surprising moves, and one of them took place late in the first round when the New York Giants traded up to the No. 25 overall pick to select quarterback Jaxson Dart. In the wake of the trade, NFL insider Albert Breer revealed why the team felt they had to move up the board to land Dart.

The New York Giants are exercising extreme patience with 21-year-old QB Jaxson Dart — and approach that probably would've benefitted Daniel Jones six years ago.

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.
