As a lifelong Giants fan, this is the worst take/suggestion I have ever heard.

awful. jj is less talented than jones and even lock. im pretty sure that they put a smoke screen hmmmmm we would clearly considerate to take a qb here just to hope that some other teams will jump ahead of them to get Nabers. if not, odunze or an offensive lineman.

Rich is just a big Michigan fan, he's always higher on JJ than he should be😅
I clicked expecting football-related reasons, and instead I got "he can do ads for garbage-tier hoagies and maybe, if he plays his cards right, host a talent contest on TV someday."
Let's hope this is not becoming a 2021 QB class all over again

Rich just trolling at this point.
J.j would be the next Zach Wilson on the giants let make it happen lol.

I love JJ, the only way you take him though is if you're somehow sure he's going to be a marked upgrade over Daniel Jones. I don't see it. The Giants desperately need help in the trenches, forsaking draft picks to move up to draft an unproven rookie to presumably be thrown to the wolves behind the worst o-line in football to me seems like one of the worst possible decisions imaginable. I would go as far as to guarantee the failure of Daboll and this management group and that has nothing to do with what I think of JJ's potential. He simply wouldn't be in any kind of position to succeed.
C'mon, make it so... Maye to WSH and JJ to NYG and the Eagles cruise for another decade.
Michigan fan who also watched every game. Eisen is out of his mind. He’s Daniel Jones 2.0 and is an NFL is a backup at best. The Giants drafting him would be a huge mistake. Unless he falls to the second round.

I'm typically fully on board with Rich's takes, especially his ones involving Michigan players as I'm a Michigan fan. But I think this would be incredibly foolish. The Giants have one of the worst lines in football. The only thing they should be thinking about doing is either drafting the best guard or OT in the draft, or trading back a few spots to acquire more picks and then taking the best available guard or OT. You don't pay Daniel Jones all that money and then not even give him a chance to compete with a line that gave up 6 sacks a game. You certainly don't do all of that only to then draft a QB who many would say is a comp to the guy you already have, that has already won a playoff game for you. I would go as far as to say trading up to draft JJ would 100% guarantee the end of this coaching/GM group. Forsaking a draft to get a guy who will not be in position to succeed behind the worst line in football would just be a horrible decision, point blank period.
So the Giants trade this year's 2nd rounder and next year's as well, to move up to #4 and take JJ McCarthy who basically gets redshirted and doesn't really impact the 2024 season, and obviously neither does the 2024 2nd round pick which was used in the trade. The Giants 2024 season has no offensive allstars except Left Tackle Andrew Thomas, and the Giants end up as a 6 win team, and Joe Schoen and Daboll are both fired to make room for Bill Belichick who gets to be GM and Head Coach. In the end, drafting QB in 2024 didn't buy Schoen/Daboll one extra second. Or, the current regime could draft a stud WR at #6 and another offensive weapon at #47 and end up as an 8-9 win team and save their jobs. Hmmm. What to do.
jj seems like another drew lock or daniel jones it would literally be the 3 spidermen meme.
I hope it happens just so I can die laughing on draft night
I thought he said in another episode that he doesn't see why McCarthy was being hyped so much.

This is such an NFL Network/Insider fed storyline to keep people yapping through draft day and into next season
We don't need Michigan Tim Tebow. If the Giants draft him it's more years of sucking.
You can tell rich is a Michigan fan with a hot take like that 😂
I honestly don’t understand why McCarthy is a better prospect that penix? Penix’s biggest criticism was injuries and he’s an immobile pocket QB. But he’s been healthy for 2 years now and ran a 4.45 in the 40 with a 37.5 inch vertical so he’s very very athletic. So how is McCarthy better?
Succeeding in college does not equate to succeeding in the NFL especially at the qb spot. Rich has to know this yet keeps blowing this horn.
So Jones, Lock and then draft...JJ McCarthy?? Why do so many lose their minds in the offseason? Are these 100s of mock drafts because everyone is so bored? Giants are drafting a WR or trading down. Lets all get our minds right.
What a waste of a pick that would be. Lets draft a QB early and then have him sit as #3 on our depth chart. Well thay will help the next HC and GM but it definitely wont help the current ones when they get put on the hot seat
Giants are drafting wr
At this rate, if Drew Lock is the bridge and DJ is unreliable, just get a WR and either hope to God Penix is somehow still on the board or go ahead and continue developing Tommy DeVito. He showed some flashes of promise in his rookie season last year, and if the Giants actually exhibit the patience and grace they should have given him last year, I could see him start to take off. He's already won the trust of the locker room and the coaches. Bolster that O-line, get a true #1 receiver, and let's see what DeVito can do with that.
This sounds a lot like the Zach Wilson situation, if I were the giants I’d find another qb before training camp so they’re not stuck
I love Rich but he literally doesn’t think any player will turn out as a bust. He gasses every player up. He thinks every single guy is a franchise player 😂
Im so confused. The Giants can stay at 6 and stil get Mcarthy. The Cards nor the bolts are getting a qb.....What complete insanity is this????
Wait...giants need a career clipboard holder?
How did New York work out for Zach Wilson ?
doesn't matter what the Giants do. Daboll will run any QB into the ground. Go get a WR to receive bounced balls from Jones. BTW, Drake Maye's tape shows the same.
I don't really get the idea that New York is somehow more than other places. If winning is important, than the Giants are not the place in 2024. I cannot believe that in a sport where Green Bay has one of the most iconic teams in the league, the city or state in which a team is based, has any merit whatsoever. Maybe I am just a lonely bitter Vikings fan who knows that if we had won it all in 98 and 09, we would be viewed in an entirely different light. 😮💨
would love to see Minnesota waste all those picks to go get JJ at #4
I don't think Drew Lock is better than Tommy Devito.
It makes no sense for a franchise to trade up or pay near $6M dollars of your cap just to red shirt him for a season. That would be such a waste of time on the years you have him on a rookie deal and you don’t want a Zach Wilson situation where you paying $11M for a QB3 level QB
Rich is DELUSIONAL. McCarthy will be a career back-up
This would be another catastrophic pick by NYG. Reaching for Jones at #6 overall and drafting Barkley at #2 has set this franchise back several years. This was an enormous mistake by the previous regime. Eisens take is part of the problem. Talking heads have been overhyping and propping up McCarthy for months. He doesn't belong with the three other top QB's in this draft
Here's why the Giants should trade up for JJ McCarthy: FivePoints Vids loses his mind and UrinatingTree laughs hysterically
You can’t honestly hope McCarthy goes to New York. 🤣
Last time mediocrity was at the Vikings was Kirk and they let him go JJ in New York 😂😂😂😂😂😂I’m all for that upcoming cinematic masterpiece
Ok the McCarthy hype is getting kinda creepy.
Daniel jones> jj McCarthy. You are shameless rich eisen propping this kid up like that
Rich is out of his mind.
This happens every year
I love Eisen,but I thought he was gonna cry when Greg Cosell believes he should be a 2nd round pick. Please Rich,take your Maze and Blue glasses off. He will bust
The Giants are going to waste $40M so they can draft the next Daniel Jones. 😂 They would get fired! lol
As an eagles fan, I’d love to watch the giants trade up and waste a lick on McCarthy. He’s so clearly not good enough to play in the league that I just laugh when I see people call him a first round pick 😂😂😂
Why does this michigan superfan not want jj on his jets
the giants have the 6th overall pick... they're far better off just hoping for no trades to happen in front of them and if not there'll be some QB next year who everyone thinks is the next Mahomes (because really do we expect the giants to be better this year)
McCarthy better be praying he gets drafted to Minnesota. Giants would be a disaster for him
He can’t throw deep left and I believe his numbers are worse to that side of the field in general, trading up for a guy like that seems a little rich. Could see him being a Mitch Trubisky
McCarthy is going to be the biggest bust of this draft. Everyone knows he is not top 10 quality but some bad desperate team will do it. These teams aren't picking in the top 5 because they are well run teams who draft well.
Cool! Who does DJ or JJ throw to or let alone hand the ball to? Oh thats right, nobody.
The next Mac Jones
The jets should take jj for you rich
Giants waste their pick on a guy who not only might not play but also might not be that good to begin with. The michigan bias is real here 💀
why in God’s good earth would they need to trade UP from 6 to 4 to get JJ? They’ll be able to pick him just fine at 6

Really used to respect your opinion overall - but JJ - its like you want to keep us down - so you can prop up tour other NY team - he might not even be DJ 2.0
lol Trey Lance
JJ is Mac Jones 2.0
Who he gonna throw to?
He's gonna be a big 1st round BUST. You know why he won the Natty (other than his coach CHEATING)? Blake Corum and the Defense. McCarthy is a good backup, that's it.
Giants are not trading up .
JayJay to the Jets.
Don’t trade up for this dude
this is a terrible idea. Absolutely terrible.
The Giants will not sit any QB. McCarthy will be out of the league in three years. That’s what they do.
It’s so funny. All the JJ haters who have been confidently declaring him overrated and predicting his failure throughout his entire college career are now, without blushing, confidently doing the same for his draft stock and his pro career. When one looks at data, however, it becomes clear that JJ has proven all the mouth breathing jabronis wrong by winning conference titles and a national championship. He’s a very smart, very talented, very charismatic kid, and he should do very well. Best wishes to him!
Another Jets fan looking to ruin the Giants. If there is any QB who is going to bust this year it's JJ McCarthy. He's the ultimate game manager but there in no Barkley to carry to offense. This would be a horrendous move by the Giants. Hopefully it doesn't happen and I'm not even a Giants fan

Rich is delusional with JJ. The Kids trash and no different than what Bennett was for georgia. He went to a stacked run game with the best defense in football.
I’m glad you’re not GM or an owner .

If JJ gets drafted by the Giants, he will be a bust. They have the worst offensive roster in the NFL. Now, JJ to the Vikings? Hall of Fame.

We all know Patriots are taking McCarthy at 3. Leaving Maye on the board for Vikings to trade up to 4 and snag him. Brock Bowers will go at 6 to Giants (Waller contemplating retirement)
No thanks. 2024 is a wash and we have other needs. Can get a QB next year
Giants hopefully are getting Marvin Harrison Jr if luck’s on their side if he goes I see them maybe even drafting more o line, Vikings feel like a good fit for McCarthy that would be fun to see.
JJ McCarthy is everything that the Giants made themselves believe that Daniel Jones would be.
