At this point, I would only trade up for (assuming Caleb goes #1) Maye or Daniels. Penix would be ok waiting at 11 for, or even trading up a couple spots, but not into the top 5. McCarthy isn't a first rounder to me, and would give me Ponder vibes. Both Penix and McCarthy have flaws, but Penix at least has the upside. The moment Cousins left and we signed Darnold I knew we had to find out 2024 starter in the draft. Hoping we trade into the top 5.
As for the Vikings being a great situation for a QB, trust me, I've definitely lamented how no great QB is available for a trade/FA the way Brady, Stafford, and Rodgers were in the last 5 years. Thought the latter 2 were in our division, so it's not like we could've gotten them anyway.
I meant great situation more so for a rookie QB. They're not good enough to win right now with this roster so I wouldn't have wanted an expensive vet anyways. That would've just been another Kirk type situation.
McCarthy is three years younger than Penix so he has that going for him when talking about upside and trying to project. He's also mobile and that's something I think you need in a QB these days. How any of that translates, I have no clue. I'm far from an expert on the draft and just go based on feel and other people's opinions who I trust haha.
