Overview
- The Giants enter Week 17 with a slim hold on the projected No. 1 slot, which could change based on Sunday’s result against the Raiders.
- Jaxson Dart remains the incumbent starter after being selected 25th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
- Rapoport reports the team will evaluate every option with the top selection, explicitly including a look at Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
- Dart has shown starter-caliber play but drew concern with one confirmed concussion and multiple in-game checks this season.
- Coverage notes the public stance may increase trade leverage for the pick, and if a quarterback were taken, Dart could become a trade candidate.
