He has the top 6 pick going 3-qb's followed by 3 wr's. Tennessee needs o-line bad & not a qb.Then at 8&9 the top 2 edge rushers.
If anyone is trading up the likliest spot is either 7 titans, or to 10 w jets. I doubt too that the Jets draft a qb this high. McCarthy kinda reminds me of Zac Wilson. Not just the face, but the skill set & body type. & Drake Maye reminds of a lesser version of Sam Darnold back in 2018. I really doubt the jets would draft either of these players!
Denver or vegas could try to leap the vikings to 10. Mostly tho. I think the draft board is likliest to arrive to #10 with 3 of the top 6 on the board. Nix? Maye? McCarthy? Penix?
None of those 4 is likely NFL ready but all 4 are likely better than anyone available in next years draft.
I think it is safe to assume Williams & Daniels go 1,2. Nobody behind the vikings has the draft capital to trade up to 3-7, or at least the vikings will assume so.
S
Atl at 8 chicago at 9, jets at 10. None will take a qb, unless chicago decides wr at 1 & McCarthy at 9. Chicago doesnt want maye as drake reminds too many of Mitch Trubisky.
I think Mel is Correct. Qb 3 thu QB 6 are all similarly saddled with big questions. If the vikings just stay patient at #11 they will land a qb with far greater upside than their last 2 1st rnd qb's. Ponder/ Bridgewater.
The only mitigating circumstance in this is if in the vikings process. They have identified 1 of those 4 qb's- the 3-6 group. As very much a better prospect than the other 3. I dont think anybody has said as much or believes it to be the case.
I do think the Jets shop their pick hard to vikes, broncos, maybe raiders. Flopping with either denver/mn prett much assures they still get the player they like at 10 a pick or 2 later.
As much as Id like to know who the vikings covet.
Id like to know sean paytons target even more.
As well as who will the pats pick at 3? A qb? Or Marvin III?
BTW- Michael Penix has a Raider feel to him, dontcha think? Kenny Stabler was a southpaw.
Raiders over the years had a few "mad Bombers" with success. Lamonica, Plunkett and the Southpaw Snake. I think its a good fit. Quintessential Raider- Gardner Minschew, leading the way while Aiden OcOnnell & Mike Penix battle it out to be QOF. Yep. I like that fit.
I also think McCarthy fits as a bear. Tough guy qb instead of the "woke" Caleb Williams.
JJ McCarthy = '85 bears Jim McMahon.
'25 bears, the 40 year anniversary team.
Lead by a VEGAN? Is this a future- "didnt they see the irony" moments?
I really dont see it. The more I think on it.
Caleb Williams for 8-9 games ea season at soldier field. Caleb, of multiple ankle injuries the past few years. Playing on the worst grass field in the NFL.
