Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that the Giants are trying to acquire a second first-round pick at the back end of the round.

There has been a lot of buzz and speculation about the Giants moving back into round one for a quarterback in the last few days. 

Initially, the talk centered around Shedeur Sanders, but there has been increasing buzz about Jaxson Dart possibly being a target for the Giants. 

Sanders, 22, was a two-year starter at Jackson State before transferring to Colorado before the 2023 season. 

NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah has compared him to QB Geno Smith.

In two years at Colorado, Sanders completed 71.8 percent of his pass attempts for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions in 24 career games, adding eight more scores on the ground.

Dart, 21, was a four-star recruit ranked as the No. 2 player in Utah and the No. 13 overall QB in the 2021 recruiting class. He committed to USC in December 2020 and spent one year there before entering the transfer portal.

Dart was a four-star transfer and was ranked as the No. 3 quarterback in the portal in the 2022 offseason. He committed to Ole Miss and spent the next three seasons as a Rebel.

In his collegiate career, Dart appeared in 45 games over four seasons and completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 11,970 yards, 81 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He also rushed 393 times for 1,541 yards and 14 touchdowns.
