J.J. McCarthy is increasingly establishing himself as a first-round lock.
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network released his latest big board Thursday, with the Michigan product moving up six spots to No. 21 overall. McCarthy is the fourth-ranked quarterback on Jeremiah's board behind USC's Caleb Williams (No. 1 overall), North Carolina's Drake Maye (No. 5) and LSU's Jayden Daniels (No. 6).
Oregon's Bo Nix, who had been one slot ahead of McCarthy on Jeremiah's previous big board, dropped to No. 29 overall and is the fifth-ranked quarterback. Washington's Michael Penix Jr. could soon leapfrog Nix as well after moving up to the No.
