“Shocking Prediction: Which NFL Team Is Betting Big on Jaxson Dart’s Future?”

As the clock ticks down to the 2025 NFL Draft, anticipation is building, and every team is scratching its head, discussing which player will turn into their golden ticket. It’s almost as if we’re on the verge of a magic show where the rabbit might not just pop out of the hat but, instead, throw us a curveball! This year is particularly intriguing—or dare I say, perplexing—since the quarterback landscape isn’t as lush as in years past. Gone are the days of a half-dozen franchise saviors being plucked off the board. Instead, we’re hearing chatter about just a couple of guys who could shine in the first round.

Among them, there’s Jaxson Dart, whose Pro Day turned heads and made waves. But here’s the kicker: former NFL coach Eric Mangini has shaken things up by suggesting that the New Orleans Saints, currently holding that coveted ninth spot, might just roll the dice on Dart before the more heralded Shedeur Sanders. Is this sheer madness, or could Mangini have unearthed an unexpected gem? As fans ponder what the Saints will do, we’re left on the edge of our seats, wondering if Dart can not only drum up excitement but also fulfill his potential as a game-changer in the NFL!

The 2025 NFL Draft is nearly upon us, giving teams just a few more days to make their final decisions on their big boards, hoping they make the right decision when they’re on the clock.

It’s a strange year compared to the past few drafts, as there aren’t as many top-tier quarterbacks.

Experts are predicting there to be two, potentially three quarterbacks taken in the first round of the draft, a far cry from the six that were selected in 2024.

Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are the consensus No. 1 and No. 2 in this class, with many believing they’ll both be top-10 picks, if not top-5.

That opinion is not shared by everyone, however, as Eric Mangini provided an alternate viewpoint on “First Things First.”

Mangini, a former coach, indicated that the New Orleans Saints will not only go after Jaxson Dart in the first round, but that he’ll get drafted before Sanders, a take that was surprising to his colleagues on the show.

Dart is a player who’s gotten a lot of traction since his Pro Day and the Combine, and the Saints are certainly looking for a QB after their Derek Carr experiment hasn’t gone according to plan.

The Saints have several talented skill-position players who could use a player with an arm like Dart’s, so it will be interesting to see what they will do on draft night.

They currently hold the No. 9 overall pick, and if they’re high enough on Dart, they could take him there and hope he pans out as expected.
