Even with everything that has happened, all six quarterbacks selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft would still likely be Day 1 picks if teams were given the option of a do-over two and a half seasons later.
J.J. McCarthy failed as the Vikings’ top-10 selection, but they’re likely wishing they still had him after how poorly it’s gone with new quarterback Kyler Murray this season. Also, McCarthy has gotten his career back on track with how well he’s played in five quarters as the Giants’ signal-caller. As for a fun fact: three players who went in the top 19 of this draft have already been traded, including McCarthy, Jared Verse and Marvin Harrison Jr.
