J.J. McCarthy the quarterback for Michigan is not as good as the best signal-callers in this year’s class.

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, one AFC executive said that McCarthy is “very far off” from the top three quarterbacks in the draft, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams.
“One long-time exec made a note while he was studying the Michigan star that read, A question I need answered: What makes Maye so much better than McCarthy?” Writer Breer said. All the same, our AFC executive stated that McCarthy is’very far off’ from the top three. “J.J. doesn’t place among the top three.” Not at all.

While McCarthy had a solid year with 2,991 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, there have been concerns about his body. At 6-foot-3, 202 pounds, one executive noticed how “lanky” McCarthy was in the fall.

“One veteran exec told me in the fall that he was taken aback by how narrow and lanky the Wolverines quarterback was, calling him a ‘stretched-out Bryce Young,'” Breer wrote. “So how tall McCarthy comes in at and how much he weighs will be a factor, as will NFL teams eyeing him up trying to figure out how much bigger he can get.”

McCarthy, who spent three seasons at Michigan, is considered to be the No. 55 player on Bleacher Report’s NFL Draft Big Board with a grade of 7.3. He sits behind Maye at No. 1 (9.3), Williams at No. 2 (9.2) and the Heisman Trophy-winning Daniels at No. 3 (7.8) in the quarterback rankings. McCarthy does have the edge over Heisman runner-ups Michael Penix Jr. (7.1) and Box Nix (7.1).

Bleacher Report’s Mock Draft has McCarthy as the fourth quarterback off the board behind Williams, Maye and Daniels, going to the Denver Broncos, who have the No. 12 pick.

The exercise is not a mock draft projecting where the players will go, rather on a pure-talent level, where does everybody grade out. McCarthy is the fifth-rated quarterback, behind Caleb Williams (No. 1), Drake Maye (No. 5), Jayden Daniels (No. 6) and one spot behind Bo Nix (No. 26).

“McCarthy is a lean, athletic quarterback with a live/loose arm,” writes Jeremiah, a former college quarterback and NFL scout. “He is very consistent because of his ability to always throw from a firm base, with his feet and eyes connected. He is selectively aggressive as a passer. He has the combination of velocity and accuracy to fit balls into tight windows, but he is also very comfortable taking checkdowns and piling up completions.”

McCarthy completed 240 of 332 passes (72.3% completions) for 22 touchdowns and four interceptions. Jeremiah noted how it’s a much lower

volume of passes. Nix threw 470 passes, Maye threw 425, Williams threw 388 and even Jayden Daniels threw 327 times, all of which came in three fewer games.

“He shows the touch to take speed off the ball underneath and provide optimal run-after-catch ball location,” Jeremiah wrote. “The only throws that gave him some trouble were over-the-top outside shots, as he let too many of those leak and end up out of bounds.”
