It feels like the Minnesota Vikings have been connected a lot to J.J. McCarthy in mock drafts.
But what if the Michigan quarterback gets taken in the top-3 and he’s not available? In the latest 2024 NFL mock draft from our Christian D’Andrea, he has the Broncos grabbing McCarthy … because the Vikings trade up for Maye at No. 3.
In the latest CBS Sports mock from Pete Prisco, he’s got McCarthy going No. 3 overall to the Patriots and the Vikings then trading up to get Maye at No. 5. This would give the Vikes that much-needed QB of the future.
Here’s his take:
They make the move to go up and get their guy in Drake Maye, while the Chargers, who are re-tooling with Jim Harbaugh, get multiple first-round picks.
