Giants Pick Carter Amid Dart Draft Speculation

Speculation about the New York Giants' draft plans intensified when GM Joe Schoen's son, Carson, posted a highlight reel of Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart on Instagram, sparking rumors the Giants might target Dart in the first round. However, during the 2025 NFL Draft, the Giants used the No. 3 overall pick to select Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, who had recently transitioned to the position and is expected to bolster the team's defense. This move signaled a best-player-available approach rather than directly addressing the quarterback position. The selection has led to questions about the future of current edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, amid speculation about his possible trade or a stronger edge rotation. Carson Schoen's social media activity continues to intrigue, but the Giants' draft actions left their quarterback plans unresolved. Whether the Giants will pursue a quarterback in later rounds remains uncertain.
