From the episode

I think if they could get a fourth-rounder, Welsh, they'd trade him today. ... I think that McCarthy's more likely to just be the QB3.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

McCarthy is viewed as an overhyped QB3 who could be traded.

The source suggests the Vikings would trade J.J. McCarthy for a fourth-round pick if possible, viewing him as a likely QB3 who is currently overhyped. The consensus is that his development has been a failure relative to expectations, and he may be on a different team soon.
