The Minnesota Vikings have had some standout draft selections, including Adrian Peterson and Justin Jefferson. However, their choice of quarterback J.J. McCarthy as the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft is being scrutinized as a major failure. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season due to injury and had a disappointing performance in 2025, completing less than 58% of his passes with 12 interceptions compared to 11 touchdowns. This led the Vikings to sign quarterback Kyler Murray, suggesting a shift in their focus. With McCarthy's struggles, the team may consider moving on from him, marking a significant downturn for a player once seen as a promising prospect. As the Vikings prepare for the upcoming draft, McCarthy's position remains uncertain, and he could be viewed as the Vikings' worst draft pick of the century.
