CJ Carr projected as potential No. 3 overall pick for New York Jets

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr is projected to be a potential first-round selection for the New York Jets in the 2027 NFL Draft. Draft analyst Jordan Reid predicts the Jets will use the No. 3 overall pick to select Carr, noting that the team has built a strong foundation of offensive talent over the last five years.

Carr, who has 12 career starts, recorded 2,741 passing yards and 24 touchdowns against six interceptions during the 2025 season. As the team enters the 2026 season, Carr is expected to serve as a primary offensive leader for the Fighting Irish, supported by veteran presence on the offensive line and leadership within the running back unit.
