JJ McCarthy and the 2024 NFL draft

JJ McCarthy is one of the most anticipated picks teams and fans equally anticipate on April 25. On the one hand, it is rumored that the Vikings will trade up to land a quarterback, preferably McCarthy. Conversely, the Washington Commanders are rumored to draft JJ McCarthy since their meeting with Jayden Daniels didn’t go as smoothly.

If the Commanders play the cards their way, the teams who have been hot on McCarthy’s trail since the beginning of the NFL draft, like the Vikings, the Giants, and the Patriots, would have to go home with the QB available during their pick. Even if the Vikings secure trade-up wagering their resources, all of it will go down the drain if the Commanders pick McCarthy at pick No. 2.

NBC Sports Boston’s Michael Holley confirmed that he was “hearing more and more chatter that JJ McCarthy is high, if not the first, on the boards of the Washington Commanders and the New England Patriots.” Will the Commanders land McCarthy, or will the Vikings secure him?
