Amidst reports that the Washington Commanders are favoring preparing Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the No. 2 choice in the 2024 NFL draft, his chances of being taken 2nd in general have actually risen.
After his professional day and the speculation that the Commanders are favoring taking him, McCarthy’s chances to be taken No. 2 by the Commanders are now at +500 on DraftKings Sportsbook, up from the +2500 they were at previously, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.
McCarthy’s stock has actually increased throughout the offseason, today it appears he might be among the very first gamers off the board.
Bleacher Report’s Scouting Department thinks about McCarthy to be the No. 54 general possibility and the No. 4 quarterback possibility in the most recent huge board. In the most current mock draft, McCarthy is forecasted to land with the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 8 choice.
USC’s Caleb Williams, LSU’s Jayden Daniels and North Carolina’s Drake Maye are thought about to be the leading 3 quarterbacks in the draft class by Bleacher Report’s Scouting Department and Maye is predicted to land with Washington at No. 2 in the most recent mock draft.
Last season, McCarthy had 2,991 passing backyards, 22 goals and 4 interceptions while leading Michigan to a championship game. McCarthy does not have the exact same numbers that Williams, Daniels and Maye boast, however he plainly revealed something in his professional day that the Commanders liked.
