The New York Giants may have traded up for their hopeful future franchise quarterback last week, but don't expect him to be stepping on the field too often.
The G-Men took Ole Miss' own Jaxson Dart with the 25th selection in the NFL Draft, letting him join a crowded room that already features newcomers in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
Winston was the first to sign with the Giants this offseason, inking a two-year deal, with Wilson joining roughly a week later on a one-year pact.

Wilson figures to be the frontrunner to start Week 1: "That’s how it’ll be once we get started here in the spring," head coach Brian Daboll said, via Pro Football Talk.
Thus, with two vets already in the room, it looks like Dart's rookie season will be a de facto redshirt campaign.
"Jaxson’s going to come in, he’s got to learn the offense, there’s a lot to learn. These NFL offenses are hard to grasp and pick up and then be able to go out and execute, so the ability for him to learn and sit behind two consummate pros already will be beneficial for him," Giants general manager Joe Schoen said.
New York selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third pick.
