# Josh Edwards: In a way-too-early 2027 mock draft, Edwards has the Jets using their three top-12 picks on Notre Dame QB CJ Carr at No. 7, Clemson CB Ashton Hampton at No. 10, and Ole Miss DL Will Echoles at No. 12. **Claimed:** Oct 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Josh Edwards — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/josh-edwards **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jets-2027-mock-draft-how-new-york-uses-three-first-rounders/ 3 checkable claims — 3 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1. > New York attains its quarterback of the future in the form of Notre Dame's C.J. Carr. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ashton Hampton to be picked at number 10** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ashton Hampton, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **C.J.
