Purple Daily on Draft: Is J.J. McCarthy QB 3 in the 2024 NFL draft?

Should the Minnesota Vikings take J.J. McCarthy as QB off the board? Is he worthy of that spot? Purple Daily on draft discusses.

The offseason is officially underway for all 32 teams and the Minnesota Vikings are still trying to figure out who their quarterback is. Luckily for them, there are multiple quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft class who are potential options.

One of the biggest talking points over the last week has been Fantasy Pros’ Thor Nystrom proclaiming that Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy might be his QB3 over North Carolina QB Drake Maye.

The question remains: is McCarthy worthy of being QB3 in the NFL draft? It’s an interesting question to parse through, especially with his stock set to rise throughout the process, especially with the scouting combine coming up.

To finish the show, the crew goes through a mock draft using the Pro Football Focus simulator. They go through the process of trading up for a quarterback. Is it a path the Vikings should consider?

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Daily on Draft, dropping every Monday afternoon on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.
