Falcons projected to select Notre Dame QB CJ Carr in mock draft

The Atlanta Falcons may target Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to a new mock draft by Bleacher Report published on June 8, 2026. The Falcons, seeking to improve after missing the playoffs since 2017, face an uncertain quarterback situation. Recent analysis suggests they may need to draft a quarterback if current options Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa do not perform well this season. Carr, noted for his strong performance with the Fighting Irish, is projected as a top-10 selection, offering a potential fit for the team's offensive strategy under new head coach Kevin Stefanski.
