Giants QB Rumors: JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye, Jaxson Dart & a Bold Mock Draft

In this comprehensive episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob explore the potential moves the New York Giants could make in the offseason to address their quarterback situation and bolster their roster for the future. The episode dives into intriguing rumors and bold predictions that could shape the Giants' strategy heading into the 2025 NFL season.  

The discussion begins with speculation around JJ McCarthy, the young quarterback currently with the Minnesota Vikings. Reports suggest the Vikings may commit to Sam Darnold long-term and entertain offers for McCarthy. Drew and Rob analyze whether the Giants could or should pursue the former Michigan star, weighing his potential fit in New York against the assets they might need to part with in a trade.  

The conversation shifts to another tantalizing possibility: Drake Maye. Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright suggested a scenario where the Patriots draft Shedeur Sanders, trade Maye for additional picks, and use those assets to bring in Deion Sanders as their head coach. Drew and Rob examine Maye’s stats, strengths, and weaknesses from the 2024 season, including his 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and debate whether he could be the answer to the Giants' QB question.  

The hosts then delve into a detailed seven-round mock draft scenario, where the Giants trade down from the fourth overall pick. In the proposed trade, the Giants send picks 4 and 244 to the Seahawks, receiving picks 18, 50, 82, and a second-rounder in 2026. This bold strategy allows the Giants to address multiple needs, starting with Alabama guard Tyler Booker in the first round. They add talent in the trenches with defensive tackles Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant, improve the offensive line with Donovan Jackson and Ajani Cornelius, and even take a swing on Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart in the third round. Additional picks include Georgia cornerback Daylen Everette, Washington running back Jonah Coleman, and North Carolina edge rusher Kaimon Rucker, rounding out a draft class loaded with potential.  

The episode also features an in-depth profile of Jaxson Dart, highlighting his impressive high school career, his transition from USC to Ole Miss, and his growth as a quarterback. Despite a strong statistical showing in his final college season, Dart’s performances against lower-tier defenses and concerns about his pro-readiness raise questions about his potential as an NFL starter.  

Drew and Rob wrap up the episode with insights into how these moves could position the Giants for a brighter future. Whether it’s acquiring a young quarterback via trade or building a solid foundation through the draft, the duo explores all angles to ensure the Giants remain competitive in the ever-tough NFC East. This episode is a must-listen for fans eager to dive deep into the Giants' offseason plans and the latest news surrounding the team.
