A little more J.J. McCarthy draft fodder for you

Been higher on him than most for awhile now

But I am not listening to a thing Harbaugh says on a public platform about his coach a few weeks before three draft.

You might as well ask JJ's parents what they think about him

If he likes JJ so much, draft him at 5 and send us Herbert. Haha.

and partly he has been pushing for him to be picked before #5 to help his own valuations/selections.

The others are playing what?

and it would be in his best interest to drive up the price

In Jim Harbaugh's mind, no one has it better than the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Chargers pick fifth overall, but it feels like the catbird's seat to Harbaugh in his first draft back in the league in a decade.

"There's talk of four quarterbacks going in the first four picks. Boy, if that happens, that pick really becomes like the No. 1 pick in the draft," Harbaugh told reporters at the Annual League Meeting. "If four quarterbacks go in the first four picks, that's not like the fifth pick anymore. That's like the No. 1 pick of the draft for teams that have a great quarterback already."

"I mean, maybe four quarterbacks don't go in a row -- it's unprecedented that's ever happened," he said. "But maybe there's still another quarterback there when the fifth pick comes around and somebody wants to... again, that'd be like the No. 1 pick.

"...It's an exciting pick."

Harbaugh intrigued to have No. 5 - ( New Window )

Really can't understand why nobody likes him.

And thinks he’ll be a great pro, then if he’s available at 5, draft him, trade Herbert for possibly the biggest haul of draft picks ever, reset the rookie clock at QB and clear out a ton of cap space. That would make the most sense for long term for Harbaugh and the Chargers if he truly believes JJ is a franchise QB.

Obviously its 99.9% bull

Of course he is going to promote JJM. He wants the GMs to contact the LAC GM office to inquire about a trade. It's called marketing. Is he prejudice? Ya think? If it serves his agenda, of course.

McCarthy is Mark Sanchez.

Good arm, smart guy, intangibles, but not a good QB. Missing something as a passer.He’ll maybe be good enough to win games with a great defense, but will be the achilles heel in the biggest games

This is not a guy you take #6. Trading up for him would be a death sentence to Joe Schoens career as an NFL GM.
