Giants do right by Jaxson Dart in post-trade deadline 2026 mock draft

Jaxson Dart, you, sir, are on your own for the foreseeable future. Just like how we drew it up. By not making a move at the trade deadline, the New York Giants essentially told their 22-year-old rookie quarterback that the internal development of the guys already on the roster will be enough.

If only that were the case. Relying on receivers like Darius Slayton, Beaux Collins, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Jalin Hyatt is a recipe for disaster. Wan'Dale Robinson has stepped up in Malik Nabers' absence, but he's more one-trick pony than anything else.

It's easy to understand where the front office was coming from — they're 2-7, with not much going right, so why make a move in the short term for minor improvements, when they can punt that responsibility to the offseason.
