Apparently, John Harbaugh trusts his brother Jim’s evaluation more than NFL tape.
Yesterday, the New York Giants traded a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to acquire beleaguered former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. Reports indicate that John consulted directly with Jim regarding the former National Championship-winning signal caller.
McCarthy's young NFL career has been plagued by injuries and subpar play, leaving him relegated to third-string status in Minnesota before the trade. While veteran Jameis Winston managed to guide the Giants to a messy 12-7 win over the Titans following Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury, the offense was largely stagnant.
Flipping a future late-round pick for a former 10th overall selection feels like a highly reasonable gamble.
