NFL Draft projections for CJ Carr

Overview

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr has emerged as a highly projected candidate for a top-three selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Initial projections suggested the New York Jets might use the No. 3 overall pick to select Carr, following his 2025 season where he recorded 2,741 passing yards and 24 touchdowns. Analysts noted the Jets’ recent offensive talent acquisitions as a factor in this potential move.

Subsequent analysis indicated the Cleveland Browns could also target Carr as the No. 3 overall pick. Analysts suggested the Browns might favor Carr as a long-term solution over Shedeur Sanders, noting that the team’s current depth chart does not position Sanders as a franchise quarterback.
