Giants, Jets Make Major Moves in 2025 Draft

The New York Giants selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall pick and traded up to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart at No. 25 in the 2025 NFL Draft, marking a major overhaul for head coach Brian Daboll's team. Dart, who is expected to sit behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in his first year, joins a roster that now features high-profile receiver Malik Nabers. Despite optimism among fans, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III criticized the Giants' quarterback strategy as risky and highlighted mounting pressure on the coaching staff and front office. The Giants have limited draft picks remaining and still need to address offensive guard and defensive tackle positions. Meanwhile, the New York Jets selected Missouri tackle Armand Membou in the first round to protect new quarterback Justin Fields. Both teams hope their draft classes will transform their fortunes for the coming season.
