J.J. McCarthy Drafted 10th Overall by Minnesota
2 weeks ago

The Vikings have selected Michigan Quarterback, J.J McCarthy, 10th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

McCarthy caught a lot of buzz during the pre-draft process and even drew rumors that he could be the 2nd Quarterback taken in the draft. While he didn’t go as high as some expected, he lands in a favorable situation with the Vikings, having star Wide Receiver Justin Jefferson as a primary target.

 

At this point, it’s hard to determine if McCarthy will be an upgrade for  and the Minnesota position players in terms of their fantasy production, as he wasn’t leaned on to be a prolific passer for Michigan.

 

For Fantasy Managers, McCarthy merits 1st round consideration in Superflex rookie drafts. For single QB rookie drafts, it’s safer to target him in the later rounds while prioritizing other skill positions. Despite all the pre-draft hype, McCarthy should be completely off redraft radars until he provides proof that he can be a top 10 Quarterback in the NFL.

Michigan QB J.J McCarthy is opting out of his senior year and has declared for the 2024 NFL draft.

Michigan QB J.J McCarthy is opting out of his senior year and has declared for the 2024 NFL draft. McCarthy has been the starting quarterback for the Wolverines since he won the battle against Cade McNamara for the starting gig back in 2022. McCarthy played 2 seasons as the starting quarterback for Michigan, McCarthy finished his career with Michigan with a completion percentage of 68% throwing for 6226 yards, 49 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. McCarthy led the undefeated Wolverines to the 2023 National Championship.

 

McCarthy was rumored to truly be 50/50 on whether or not he would declare, so this news may have been surprising to some. There are, indeed, a lot of quarterback needy teams out there, so McCarthy’s camp must know there are some serious suitors for him. McCarthy’s camp were likely persuaded this way because they are hearing teams are willing to give up late first or early second round draft capital to acquire him.
