Robert Griffin III slams Giants after Jaxson Dart pick at NFL draft: No idea what theyre doing
The Giants are a mess, according to former No.2 overall pick and ex-rival quarterback Robert Griffin III.Big Blue traded back into the first round and drafted Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the No.
25 pick, but Griffin sees the move as a potential train wreck.Griffin clarified that while he loves Dart’s “game” he hates “the situation” that has unfolded due to the pick.“The New York Giants have no idea what they are doing at QB,” Griffin wrote in a post on X.“Signed Jameis Winston only to sign Russell Wilson to start over him and then drafted a Rookie QB who will get minimal reps in his redshirt year behind those 2.
Lord have mercy.”The Giants signed Wilson, 36, this offseason to come in and stabilize the team under center, but Griffin seems to think that drafting Dart will actually destabilize the position all over again, as coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are seemingly fight for their jobs after two straight poor seasons.Big Blue also added a fellow veteran in Winston, who now will be competing for the backup job.When a fan asked why Griffin is panning the idea of Dart learning under Wilson, a tactic teams have used to varying success, he referenced the perceived hot seat of the coach and general manager.“Because this coaching staff and front office might not have more than 8 games this year,” Griffin responded.“They have to win now.
That’s why they brought in Russell and Jameis.Jaxson won’t get the reps he needs to sit and learn in this situation.”One user responded to Griffin by stating that Dart will be the Giants’ starting quarterback by Week 10, but Griffin doesn’t believe that will help the situation.“Then the entire staff and GM would be fired which isn’t a great situation for a young QB,” he wrote.Schoen elected to trade back into the first round and land Dart at the back-end of Round 1, coughing up both a second- and third-round pick this year, plus a third-rounder in next year’s draft....
