The Athletic’s Dane Brugler:
“Michigan's J.J. McCarthy improved notably in 2023, showcasing good arm talent and added mobility. His ability to perform under pressure has been praised, though he needs further development in strength and decision-making. His completion percentage of 80% and a strong performance in tight-window situations underscore his potential as a draft pick.”

Dallas Turner Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Impressive coverage ability, breakout year with significant playmaking​​.

via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Turner is a long, explosive edge rusher with the body twitch, hand usage and play strength to leverage blocks and be disruptive in multiple ways. He has the freaky tools to be a potential impact player in the NFL who should continue to improve...
GRADE: 1st Round (No. 14 overall)

- via PFF:
Although he can continue to improve as a run defender and a tackler, Turner is a first-round type of edge rusher with high-ceiling pass-rush traits who can contribute in year one with a bright future ahead.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Needs to improve overall strength; Can be inconsistent in run stopping; Struggles with technique consistency.

J.J. McCarthy Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Attacks the middle effectively; good athleticism and protection instincts; mature and reliable in performance.

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
McCarthy’s evaluation feels incomplete, which creates even more projection than normal, but his passing skills, pocket athleticism and mental makeup are all ascending and create optimism for his NFL future.
GRADE: 1st-2nd Round (No. 21 overall)

- via PFF:
McCarthy's pocket poise and intelligence make him a likely first round pick, with potential as a high-end game manager who can win games with a strong supporting cast.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Limited experience with complex NFL passes; Inconsistent, especially under pressure; Needs to improve mass and touch.
