Updated 2027 NFL Draft Order After Week 9 Results, Who Could Chargers & Eagles Take?

The Los Angeles Chargers moved one loss closer to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft in Week 9.

Justin Herbert and Co. lost by double digits to the Houston Texans to drop to 0-8.

There's no end in sight right now for the Chargers, but the silver lining if they keep losing is the privilege to draft first in April.

The Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans are lurking at 1-7 if the Chargers do win a game at any point of the season.

The New York Jets (via the Indianapolis Colts) and the Philadelphia Eagles round out the top five in the current draft order after Sunday's afternoon games.

C.J. Carr

C.J. Carr delivered a statement to NFL personnel with his showing against the Miami Hurricanes.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns in one of Saturday's marquee college football games.

Carr is 25th in the FBS in passing yards and tied for ninth in touchdown passes. He's also thrown just one interception.

Carr is already in the national spotlight each week because of where he plays, but now that Notre Dame is 8-1 and headed toward the College Football Playoff, there will be even more eyes on him.

The Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and other teams with a quarterback need should have eyes on Carr, who as of Sunday, has put himself near the top of the quarterback class that was expected to be headlined by Arch Manning and Dante Moore.

Chris Cole

Chris Cole is emerging as one of the premier defensive prospects in the 2027 draft class.

The Georgia linebacker had nine tackles and 1.5 sacks in the Bulldogs' rout of the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday.

Cole is now up to 58 tackles, 41 of which have been solo and five sacks in his junior season.

He could be an intriguing prospect for the Eagles and others that are looking for defensive help at the top end of the draft.

Not all of the teams in the top 10 will need quarterback help, so there's a good chance we see defensive players, like Cole, and offensive linemen shoot up the draft board in the coming months.

Jeremiah Smith

Jeremiah Smith still projects to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft despite the Ohio State Buckeyes' recent struggles.

Smith put up another 100-yard performance in the loss to the Oregon Ducks to bring his season total up to 1,200 receiving yards.

Smith ranks in the top five in the FBS in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. He'll be more than likely be a Heisman finalist.

He'd be an excellent pick for the Chargers at No. 1 because they need to revamp the offense around Justin Herbert.

The Eagles would love to have Smith as well as a complement to DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon.

The Ohio State star ight not make it to the Eagles at No. 5 because of the Chargers' needs and potential trades up into the top five for him.

The New York Jets may also target Smith depending on how their quarterback search goes in the offseason.
