The New York Giants are starting to regret overlooking Shedeur Sanders in favor of Jaxson Dart. NFL Wires breaks down the fallout and what it means for the team’s future.
Draft Decisions Haunting the Giants
The New York Giants may have made a critical error during the NFL Draft, and the consequences are becoming increasingly clear. After bypassing Shedeur Sanders—one of the most hyped quarterback prospects—in favor of Jaxson Dart, the Giants' quarterback situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Sources within the organization have revealed mounting frustrations with Dart’s early camp performances. Accuracy issues, poor timing, and leadership concerns are raising eyebrows among coaches and players alike. Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders continues to shine in workouts and interviews, drawing praise from scouts and media alike.
Dart's Struggles Exposed
According to insider reports obtained by NFL Wires, Dart has struggled to adjust to the speed and complexity of NFL defenses. In one joint practice session, he reportedly threw three interceptions in under 10 snaps. While growing pains are expected for rookies, the coaching staff was reportedly “stunned” by his poor decision-making.
Fans on social media have not held back, with hashtags like #ShouldaTakenShedeur and #DartDisaster trending.
Why Shedeur Sanders Was Passed Over
Many analysts expected Shedeur Sanders to go earlier in the draft, but questions around his readiness, paired with the high-profile nature of being Deion Sanders' son, caused some front offices to hesitate. The Giants’ front office believed Jaxson Dart would be a better cultural fit and more NFL-ready.
In hindsight, that evaluation may have cost them dearly.
Inside the Front Office Fallout
NFL Wires has learned that some members of the Giants’ scouting department lobbied hard for Shedeur. A heated debate reportedly occurred in the war room just days before the draft, with one executive warning, “Passing on Shedeur might haunt us.”
That warning is now looking prophetic.
Media and Fan Reaction
The New York sports media is already labeling Dart as a potential bust. ESPN's Ryan Clark noted, "Shedeur had the poise, the numbers, and the pedigree. The Giants went with safe and got sorry."

Meanwhile, Giants fans are calling for front office accountability, with some even demanding the resignation of key decision-makers involved in the pick.
Shedeur's Rising Stock
While Dart stumbles, Shedeur Sanders is rising fast. At his current pace, he’s expected to be a breakout performer in his debut season, and some analysts have even mentioned him in early Offensive Rookie of the Year conversations.
His leadership, presence, and on-field execution continue to validate what many draft experts believed all along—he’s NFL material.
What Comes Next for Big Blue?
If Dart continues to falter, the Giants may have no choice but to bring in a veteran QB or look at mid-season trades. Either way, the pressure is mounting on Head Coach Brian Daboll and the front office to make swift course corrections.
Their future could depend on it.
Final Word: A Missed Opportunity?
Only time will tell how costly the Shedeur Sanders snub will be. But for now, it’s clear: the Giants' quarterback decision is under a harsh spotlight, and fans aren't forgetting anytime soon.
