Giants Rumors: Bo Nix, Rattler Visit amid J.J. McCarthy Buzz Ahead of NFL Draft 2024

The New York Giants have been rumored to be eyeing Michigan's J.J. McCarthy with the No. 6 pick in this month's NFL draft, but they are reportedly still evaluating other quarterback prospects.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler are set to visit with the Giants this week.

SNY's Connor Hughes reported last month that some league sources believe McCarthy is "the player the Giants want." In his first mock draft released earlier this week, NFL Network's Peter Schrager predicted that the Giants will move up from No. 6 to the No. 4 pick to select McCarthy. The projected trade cost the Giants a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 second-round pick.

"This is merely a mock draft, but I could see this deal coming to fruition," Schrager explained. "[General manager] Joe Schoen didn't draft Daniel Jones, J.J. checks a lot of boxes, and Big Blue can get out of Jones' contract after this upcoming season."

New York is coming off a disappointing 2023 campaign in which it went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the sixth time in the last seven years. Jones was limited to six games after suffering a torn ACL, so the team could look to bring in a young signal-caller as its quarterback of the future.

If the Giants are unable to land McCarthy, both Nix and Rattler likely would be available later in the draft. B/R's NFL Scouting Department ranks Nix and Rattler as the No. 5 and No. 6 quarterback prospects, respectively, in the latest draft big board right behind McCarthy, who sits at No. 4 behind UNC's Drake Maye, USC's Caleb Williams and LSU's Jayden Daniels.

The NFL draft is just over a week away on April 25, so the Giants have time to mull their decision on which quarterback they will select.
