I am not the biggest J.J. McCarthy fan in the world, but he has shown some promise. He wasn't completely awful, and he's still very young. The Vikings have no clear long-term direction at quarterback right now, and it seems silly to pass up any potential solution for a fifth-round draft pick.

Vikings traded McCarthy for fifth-round pick; source questions trade value given QB uncertainty.

Traded away by the Vikings for a fifth-round draft pick; the source believes the Vikings should have gotten more in return or held onto McCarthy longer given his status as a former first-round pick, his youth, and the league-wide quarterback injury uncertainty. The source notes McCarthy has shown some promise and wasn't completely awful, but the Vikings have no clear long-term direction at quarterback, making the trade a gamble the organization didn't need to make.
