Heartbreaking: Chicago Bears Football Stadium Burnt Down to Ashes Due to fire inferno…see..more….
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giantsselected Penn State star Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night. Who knows, Carter could be their next Lawrence Taylor, a pass-rushing menace who headlines the defense for years to come.
It still wasn’t the main headline for the Giants. That belonged to quarterback Jaxson Dart, the player they traded up to take with the No. 25 overall pick.
Shedeur Sanders, at one point the favorite to go third overall to the Giants, wasn’t selected in the first round at all. Dart, who multiple sources said in the leadup to the draft was the quarterback of choice for coach Brian Daboll, impressed the Giants throughout the process with his demeanor in meetings, work on the board and workouts.
“Yeah, again, we went through an extensive process and moved up for Jaxson. We’re fired up to have him,” general manager Joe Schoen said. “At the end of the day, we went through the process, we rank them, this is how we had them ranked and with Jaxson we thought the value matched up.”
