Is Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy really in play at No. 2 overall? What should we expect on Day 2 trades? And which teams could use a true “best player available” approach in Round 1? We get into all that and then let Matt, Jordan and Field build perfect mini-mock drafts for three intriguing teams. Finally, our experts empty their scouting notebooks with what they’re hearing, seeing and thinking.

Reid: Selling. I still think this decision for the Commanders is going to come down to LSU’s Jayden Daniels vs. North Carolina’s Drake Maye. McCarthy has created a ton of intrigue throughout the league during the pre-draft process, but the No. 2 overall pick is still seen as too high for such an inexperienced passer. He has less than half of the career pass attempts of Daniels and played in a run-heavy Michigan offense. So while McCarthy is still projected as a top-10 pick, I think No. 2 is just too high. The Vikings, Broncos or Raiders — via trades up the board — are viewed as more likely landing spots for him.

Miller: Buying. I remember the 2018 draft all too well, when every pundit expected Sam Darnold or Josh Allen to be selected No. 1 overall. Then 24 hours before the first round kicked off, news circulated that Baker Mayfield would be the pick. My point is teams do things differently than we all would and make surprise selections every single year. While McCarthy wouldn’t be my pick — he’s my QB4 — we don’t know what Commanders owner Josh Harris, general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn want at the position.
