Boomer could see former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy being a fit for the Giants, thanks in part to McCarthy seemingly holding a similar “mold” as Eli Manning and Daniel Jones.
“He fits ‘the mold,’” Boomer said of McCarthy. “Eli Manning, Daniel Jones, kind of understated, definitely a leader, but not somebody who is going to be out there like Baker Mayfield was in Cleveland. He’s not gonna be doing a million commercials or all that stuff. He’s not gonna embarrass the franchise.”
So, if McCarthy is the guy for the Giants, there will be a decision to make on draft day.
“Do they do it at No. 6,” Boomer said. “Or do they trade out of there, get a couple assets, and still be able to take him in the top 15 if that’s the case?”
