The New York Giants may have executed one of the most transformative drafts in recent memory. By securing Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart (12th overall) and pairing him with Arizona State’s bruising running back Cam Skattebo (67th overall), they’ve built an offensive foundation reminiscent of successful NFL duos like Hurts/Sanders or Allen/Cook. Dart’s elite arm talent and Skattebo’s relentless physicality (5.7 YPC in 2023) create the perfect balance for Brian Daboll’s scheme – a system that made Josh Allen an MVP candidate.
Falling into the third day is always a hard thing for any college player, and for the former Sacramento High School wasn’t the exception. Cam Skattebo let everyoneknow how can a draft selection can change the life of anyone. For the runningback it’s time for New York.
Cam Skattebo break into tears as he knows his life is about to change
The first selection for the Giants was Abdul Carter, Defensive End from Penn State in the third overall selection. Afterwards in the draft, the Giants trade up to pick a quarterback. Everyone thought Shedeur Sanders will play for the Brian Daboll team, but the surprises this draft keep going; Jaxson Dart was drafted in the 25th overall selection (via Houston).
While critics questioned passing on Shedeur Sanders, this tandem addresses New York’s most glaring needs: a franchise QB and a chain-moving back to complement their defense. If developed properly, this draft class could mark the Giants’ return to NFC East relevance.
The Giants nailed the 2024 NFL Draft with a perfectly balanced haul that addressed both immediate needs and long-term development. Their draft started with a franchise-altering move by selecting Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart 12th overall to compete with Russell Wilson, then added physical playmakers like Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander (65th) and Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo (105th) to transform their trenches and backfield.
The later rounds brought excellent value with Purdue guard Marcus Mbow (154th), Nebraska red-zone threat Thomas Fidone II (219th), and Oklahoma State cornerback Korie Black (246th) – all players who fit specific system needs. From Day 1 starters to developmental depth, New York maximized every selection, giving Brian Daboll the tools to rebuild this roster properly.
