The Minnesota Vikings have traded up to select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings traded up to No. 10 from No. 11, giving up a fourth- (No. 129 overall) and fifth-round (No. 157 overall) pick to move up one spot. McCarthy is officially the fifth quarterback taken off the board and is headed to Minnesota. Before McCarthy, USC’s Caleb Williams, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, UNC’s Drake Maye, and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. were all drafted.
McCarthy will have a tremendous pair of receivers to play with right off the bat, with teammates Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. He will also get to learn under head coach Kevin O’Connell, who has proven to be a good offensive mind for Minnesota.
