The Atlanta Falcons, aiming for a playoff spot in the current NFL season, face a quarterback dilemma, oscillating between Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke in Week 11. With a talented upcoming draft class, the possibility of selecting a new quarterback looms. Sports Illustrated’s recent mock draft projects the Falcons taking J.J. McCarthy, the Michigan Wolverines quarterback, with the ninth overall pick. SI notes that McCarthy, though not as flashy as other quarterbacks, possesses complete passing skills, accuracy, efficiency, and underrated athleticism.
