McCarthy at QB28 is a buying opportunity; young starter upside beats late 2nd pick.

Ranked QB28 with a big jump after getting a starting opportunity with the Giants; the speaker believes he will not be QB28 a month from now, either rising higher if he plays well or falling outside the top 32 if it becomes clear this is just a last-legs opportunity. However, the speaker tends to believe McCarthy will be ranked higher in a month, given his youth (23 years old), starting opportunity with a division-leading team, and recent solid play. In superflex dynasty, the upside of a young starting QB with even a 10% chance of becoming a long-term starter outweighs a late second-round pick (value 35-39) because the ceiling is immense.
