With Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on the roster, Dart won’t see the field in Year 1. Shoot, I’d be OK if he sat a couple of years. There’s a lot to like about Dart. He’s probably the best quarterback in the draft when it comes to pocket presence. He’s also a willing runner, albeit sometimes a bit reckless. He doesn’t have a cannon for an arm by any means, but he can make some excellent throws. However, coming into the NFL from a Lane Kiffin offense, he has almost no experience under center. Also, his snap count? A single clap. He has a lot of excellent tools, but he must sit. This isn’t something to mess with. Let him sit and learn. In superflex dynasty drafts, he’s my QB2 behind Cam Ward. He shouldn’t see action for a bit but give him time. It’ll pay off if the Giants play this right.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp

Scouting Report:

Jaxson Dart has the arm strength to make every NFL throw. He has a “strong enough arm” but doesn’t have a cannon. He relies upon ball placement with his throws, but he can zip it in the short/intermediate areas of the field. Dart made a living in 2024 by hitting his receivers with bucket shots on the perimeter on go balls and deep outs.
Dart moves through progressions fairly well. He accesses the middle of the field plenty and can get to his tertiary options plenty. Dart also has no issues expecting his first read to win 50/50 balls and exhibiting that type of trust he’ll need in the NFL when his receivers are “NFL open” on plenty of plays.
Dart flashes impressive ball placement on a ton of throws. He isn’t perfect, though, as the ball can sail on him when he reaches back for that extra oomph for his fastball. It’s not a consistent issue, though. Dart will also make anticipatory throws instead of waiting for his receivers to uncover.
Dart is calm and collected in the pocket. He will boot when he feels pressure and navigating a muddy pocket isn’t viable. He will also hang in the pocket when needed to deliver an accurate pass. There are plenty of plays where he stands tall in the pocket and gets smacked at the end of the play. Dart will also utilize pump fakes and subtle movements to manipulate corners in coverage.
Dart likely has 4.7 40-speed. I don’t see him as a quarterback who derives a lot of his value from his rushing ability in the NFL. Can he scramble successfully and create with his legs? Yes. Will he be a quarterback for whom an offensive coordinator draws up a handful of quarterback runs weekly? I doubt it, but he can still add value by scrambling and creating with his legs.
