ESPN has Notre Dame having more first-round picks in 2027 than in 2026

Notre Dame football has a very good showing during this past NFL draft, sending two first-round picks to NFL teams in running back Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price.

Both are expected to be Day 1 starters, but ESPN thinks that the Irish will have an even better 2027 draft showing . Draft analyst Jordan Reid recently put each team into a tier, with Notre Dame landing in the first one, with three expected first-rounders and eleven total players taken during the seven round event.
