Overview
- FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt published a preseason top-10 quarterback list that placed Oregon's Dante Moore at No. 1 and Notre Dame's CJ Carr at No. 5.
- EA Sports' College Football 27 player ratings, published on Tuesday, reinforce that view by rating Moore 95 overall and Carr 92 overall.
- Klatt's placement has amplified existing NFL draft speculation about Carr's pro upside and has some evaluators discussing him as a potential top-10 pick next spring.
- Notre Dame faces added offensive questions after losing lead rusher Jeremiyah Love, who was taken No. 3 overall in the NFL draft, and Jadarian Price, which increases the reliance on Carr to carry the attack.
- Analysts say positions two through five form a close, interchangeable tier of NFL-caliber QBs, so Carr and Moore will both face tight scrutiny this fall as their on-field performance will shape draft stock and team expectations.
