Giants fan, who may be scarred by multiple Tommy DeVito starts but I'll take the other end. I borderline love the pick.
Dart at least has foundational elements of a QB that are rather standard requisite for 2025 NFL QB success, he can throw deep and he can run. Both attributes open lanes in the defense to operate with. The giants have not really had that... ever. Eli could pass but he couldn't move. Jones could run but he was basically one read to one side of the field, usually the roll out side. In and around them have been lots of flotsam.
So I may be coming in with a lower bar.
The good side is, 21 years old, 3 year SEC starter
If he was a sure thing, he goes top 5, not 25. But at 25, with a coach and GM on a short leash, they bought next year. I expects Dart to start by Week 9 no matter what, the giants did the same to Kurt Warner who was 5-4 and in playoff contention.
Dart will get 24-25 games to show you a pulse and projectabilty. If he stinks, you are back at the top of the 2027 draft with a new coach and GM. The draft capital to acquire him wasn't crazy if you think he's a player.
The player and the coaching dictate most success. So he's an unknown but he has the pieces I want to see and I do think Daboll did help Josh Allen go from a semi project to the best QB in the NFL (although Allen made that leap without Daboll so I give him a great deal of credit)
