The very same late process opinions that suggested Payron wanted McCarthy, also said the Giants wanted McCarthy.
Bo Nix fits Sean Paytons system.
He did back in february, thru march and on draft day. Nix was most likely at worst the 3rd most ready to play now qb in this draft.
McCarthy needs to learn for awhile.
The broncos, going into the draft, had 2 qb's on their roster. Jerret Stidham & Zac Wilson. Neither one is a ticket seller.
Caleb Williams & Bo Nix made petfect sense for a team that wants the qb on the field now, & one that can pass the ball around the field early on, rather than use his legs much of the time.
Id argue that Bo Nix probably fits that bill better than even Caleb.
Bo Nix checked off all the traits you'd want.
Arm strength, Accuracy, pocket presence, escapability, off platform throws, football IQ, experience.
McCarthy checks off maybe half those boxes right now. His plusses were youth, work ethic, winner & leadership.
Payton needed a qb now. Not in 3 years.
I am so glad the Vikings DID NOT draft Drake Maye. If they want him, & past is prelude. They can trade a 6th round pick to new england for him in 2026 or 2027.
