While reports suggest that the Minnesota Vikings are highly anticipating McCarthy to be their next QB, Pro-Day reporters believe that the Chargers might trade their fifth spot to a team that wants to move ahead of the Giants and draft McCarthy. If the Giants do not pick McCarthy at No. 6, he could be chosen by either the Falcons at No. 8 or the Jets at No. 10, as they could be potential trade destinations for teams looking to acquire the quarterback.
