McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams are expected to vie for the right to pick McCarthy, according to an unnamed coach who spoke to\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Jeff Howe: \u201cI think there\u2019s going to be a race to McCarthy between the Giants and Vikings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lot will depend on who gets ownership of the fourth-overall pick in Round 1. It\u2019s currently in the possession of the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals, but an anonymous executive told Howe \u201cThat\u2019s where it gets interesting. The Giants is kind of where it all starts, whether it\u2019s a trade or otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howe pointed out how \u201cCardinals GM Monti Ossenfort is eager to trade down.\u201d Nobody has met the price, which is naturally expected to be high.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, \u201cif the Vikings win that race to No. 4, the Giants could stick with a receiver and target a quarterback at No. 47,\u201d per Howe.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giants Trading for J.J. McCarthy a Popular Idea<\/h2>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time the Giants have been tipped to\u00a0move up, take the Cards\u2019 pick\u00a0and use it to select McCarthy. It makes sense for this idea to be popular given the player\u2019s own belief the Giants are keen.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy dropped a strong hint on \u201cThe Rich Eisen Show,\u201d at the 2:38 mark of this clip, about where he\u2019s going on Draft Day: \u201cI have somewhat of an idea. New York Giants, I\u2019ve spent the most time with. They\u2019re a phenomenal staff. Love coach (Brian) Daboll. Love Mr. Schoen. Love coach (Shea Tierney), coach (Mike Kafka), Chicago guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Significantly, McCarthy also made reference to knowing \u201cmost of the install\u201d of the Giants\u2019 offense. This is because \u201ccoach Daboll came from Alabama, and coach Gattis came to Michigan from Alabama, so it\u2019s similar formations, motions, plays, all that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scheme fit is an under-the-radar detail for why the Giants may move for McCarthy, even if it means having to get ahead of the Vikings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giants Might Not Have to Beat Vikings to Replace Daniel Jones<\/h2>\n<p>Minnesota needs a quarterback, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be McCarthy. Not when Vikings\u2019 QBs coach Josh McCown coached Drake Maye in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Maye is another highly-touted passer in this class, a player expected to hear his named called before McCarthy. The\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0and the third-overall pick represent the sweet spot, unless the AFC East franchise can be tempted to trade.<\/p>\n<p>Owning two first-round picks, the\u00a011th and 23rd selections, gives the Vikings more ammunition to turn heads in New England. The Giants\u00a0like Maye, but general manager Joe Schoen might have to give up too much draft capital to get him.<\/p>\n<p>Schoen\u2019s ideal scenario would be to stay put at six and still get McCarthy. It\u2019s something\u00a0Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post\u00a0thinks will happen.<\/p>\n<p>There is a third alternative. One where the Giants take a wide receiver or offensive tackle and wait until the second round for a QB. That strategy might help Big Blue\u00a0land Bo Nix\u00a0or even an\u00a0intriguing prospect\u00a0like Washington\u2019s Michael Penix Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever the Giants draft a quarterback won\u2019t matter to Jones. The veteran signal-caller will know he faces an immediate fight to keep his job.<\/p>\n<p>It would be Jones\u2019 last chance to\u00a0prove he can stay healthy\u00a0and justify his $160-million contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0The New York Giants are expected to &#8220;race&#8221; the Minnesota Vikings to select a replacement for Daniel Jones in the 2024 NFL draft.
