Most starts & top accuracy of all the qb's in this draft.
Tbh- i was hoping wed draft nix at 11, pass on mccarthy.
Maybe Daniel Jeremiah thinks this is a reach.
Chris sims had McCarthy & Nix tied as the #3 qb AND Nix as the only sure thing prospect after Caleb.
Once the draft process began back in february. The media folks that usually are closest to correct all Had Nix going to Denver with the 12th pick.
Neither McCarthy, nix or Penix were reaches. But only one of these gms panicked late & gave up 2 mid round picks to get the guy that was coming to them. The Raiders made no effort to move up. No rumors they tried on draft day.
The raiders, maybe would have moved up for Penix. He was the one qb, out of the 3 guys in question, that fit their style.
Instead the Raiders opted for a udfa qb, in a year of plenty. Areally talented small school prospect- in the mode of Tyson Bagett. I had talked about him. So. Alabamas Carter Bradley. Rocket arm 6-3 pocket qb. Son of Gus Bradley.
Id have been happy trading down, adding picks that maybe landed us Byron Murphy, Graham Barton. A wr and the Carter Bradley late. Or Rattler, or Devin leary. Even Jordan Travis, a hot commodity in 2022. Injuries diminished his draft prospects.
The Vikings were better off standing with Darnold. Drafting a handful if players early to fill serious holes on the D & o-lines.
In the meantime, develop one of these day 3/4 qb's that got ignored by the media.
What good is McCarthy, even if hes a star, if the supporting cast is a cellar dwellar.
