The Minnesota Vikings could reportedly get three draft picks for rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy if they decide to deal the signal-caller, per ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. (6:40 mark).
"There's talk that J.J. could bring three draft picks, which would include the No. 1 pick overall, by the way," Kiper said during a mock draft session with ESPN's Field Yates. "OK, so that's in the discussion because it could be a possibility."
McCarthy just missed the entire 2024 season after suffering a torn meniscus. Veteran Sam Darnold, who was brought in as a bridge quarterback on a one-year deal, proceeded to lead Minnesota to a 14-3 record after throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns.
