Ever look at things and wonder how they got there? Jaxson Dart probably does. Every draft cycle, there’s that one quarterback who seems to soar in stock almost unprovoked. Once the ink has dried on their collegiate career, and there’s not much scope for value addition. Bo Nix became a beneficiary of this phenomenon last year. In reality, the surge and ascension on big boards and mock drafts isn’t exactly unprovoked. It’s just scouts and analysts getting privy with and dissecting their film, and understanding the nuances to their game. This time around, Dart seems to be riding the coattails of the tale of his tape. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
The perception around Jaxson Dart has steadily become more welcoming throughout the entire draft process. This has reflected in his grade too. Dart’s gone from a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder, to a potential Day 1 pick, to being slated for coming off the board in he lottery and now rubbing shoulders with Sheduer Sanders. Revered draftnik and analyst Todd McShay assesses Dart as being on par with Sanders as the joint-QB2 in this class, behind only Cam Ward. Based on skill and ability, that is. Not based on projections, fit or intel garnered straight from franchises. So if Dart’s now trending towards being a first-round pick, what’s the issue? See, the NFL Draft is a transactional exercise of supply vs demand. Dart may just have seen demand fall. One franchise that was believed to be in the reckoning for him has reportedly dropped out of the quarterback sweepstakes.
