He's improved a bunch in a short period of time. It was just East Carolina, but he's put in a lot of offseason work and he threw some nice NFL passes in this last game. Big time arm and mobility. Superb athlete. Continues to get stronger and bigger on a 6'3"+ frame. I think his stock is going to rise and he'd be selected in a spot Minnesota could actually take without comp or moving up.

IMO, this upcoming Spring crop of college QBs is going to be the best in recent memory. Good time to take a QB.

He's one of my favorites this year as far as Viking QB prospects go. Insane arm talent, mobile, former high recruit. Maybe KAM will have some good insight on him due to his relationship w/ Harbaugh.

Imagine getting to draft him and let develop behind Kirk for a couple of years. Would be ideal.

J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
McCarthy has been linked to the Vikings in a couple way-too-early mock drafts because he's projected to be more of a mid-first round pick than a top-ten guy. He looked the part in Saturday's opener against East Carolina, completing 26 of 30 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns. McCarthy's athletic tools are outstanding.

Totally agree. The last TD pass he threw to Roman Wilson to go up 30-0 was a pure NFL throw. Perfect placement and a tough spot to get it into.

As Vikings fans it'll be quite the offseason next year. Knowing your team will probably be looking for its QBOTF and seeing the talent available is mouthwatering.

So much is going to change over the next few months, but right now it looks like the QB class is strong at the top with Williams and Maye, but also has a pretty thick 2nd tier that could be 4 or 5 deep.

Totally agree. And 1 or 2 of a thick 2nd tier group is going to hit.

Don't sleep on this guy, either. Wouldn't mind him in purple:

There are definitely some interesting second tier guys this year and McCarthy is in that mix along with Milton and Sanders. I think Sam Hartman has looked good and Jordan Travis balled out last night in a big win over LSU. Be interesting to see how it shakes out as the year goes on.

Watching FSU QB prospects is triggering for me. I'm not sure why?
