As PFF notes, Jaxson Dart is a talented quarterback with incredible upside. But the 21-year-old is the 36th overall prospect heading into this year’s draft. That makes the scenario where the Jets draft Dart at No. 7 an incredibly bold pick. In addition, one concerning trait the former Ole Miss quarterback showed was the loss to Florida. Dart looked rattled under the pressure in a game that eliminated the Rebels from the College Football Playoff.
New York is one of the highest-pressure cities in the world. Being quarterback for the New York Jets, who have elite offensive weapons like Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, adds to the stakes. This team is supposed to be built to win now. While the circumstances regarding pressure may not be ideal for Dart, as PFF says, with New York’s new coaches and the culture Aaron Glenn is building, he could be a great fit for this team.
Overall, it’s a testament to Jaxson Dart’s upside that he could be the Jets’ best chance to win right now. And if new general manager Darren Mougey makes this shocking move, New York fans will be excited to cheer on their rookie QB.
