Just as I thought all the McCarthy hype is coming from his camp, NFL people don’t buy it. Lolololo
Before the national championship game, JJ McCarthy was considered a second round pic. He played bad that game, and all of the sudden his stock went up. Lol riiiiiiiiight! Lol little newsflash for people - it didn’t go up in the eyes of NFL people. The hype machine from his camp was in full force.

One longtime evaluator chuckled when I asked about McCarthy’s projection at No. 2 overall and shot back: “Harbaugh didn’t say he was the No. 2 quarterback. He said he was the No. 1 quarterback.” Another longtime evaluator noted, “Jim needs everything but a quarterback. So every quarterback that gets taken before [the fifth pick] is a win for him.”
While nobody suggested that Harbaugh is the source of the supposed Commanders interest at No. 2 overall, some evaluators came close.
“There definitely could be a little bit of an ulterior motive to get someone pushed to him, for sure. That would be a Harbaugh type move,” one evaluator said. “There’s a plan there, I would say. Because they’re sitting there like, all right, if top four are QBs, we get our pick of whatever the hell we want. They’re probably in the best position of any team up there, because now the first four probably are going to be quarterbacks.”
