Could Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart land in the first round of this year's NFL Draft? Without question.
Could he land inside the top 10? It's possible with a promising Pro Day in Oxford.
Top three? Well, according to one mock draft, it's more than a possibility.
In the latest from NFL Network's Charles Davis, Dart heads to the Big Apple at No. 3 to serve as the hopeful franchise savior for the New York Giants. Miami's Cam Ward comes off the board at No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns while Colorado's Sheduer Sanders comes off the board at No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans.
With the Giants desperately to land a signal-caller, Dart's performance at the NFL Combine last week cements him as a top-five pick for 2025, according to this projection.

"The last time the Giants went all in on a QB from Ole Miss, it worked out pretty well. I know people have not been projecting Dart to go this high, but New York has a screaming need at the position," Davis wrote. "After passing on Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix in last year’s draft, the G-Men might not feel like they can sit back and wait this time around. "
Dart, a three-year starter for the Rebels, would be an upgrade over any signal-caller currently on the roster, though it could take time for him to start immediately. The Giants are trying to salvage a roster that nearly landed the No. 1 overall pick after a disastrous 3-14 season.
The NFL Draft takes place on April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
