Three reasons for optimism as Eagles select Makai Lemon 20th overall

Sometimes, it's good to be wrong. Most of us had it figured out, or at least that's what we thought. Certainly, the Philadelphia Eagles would draft Kenyon Sadiq, or maybe they'd find Lane Johnson's successor.

Theory suggested they might trade up if a prospect was simply too good to pass on. Well, that's exactly what they did, but they landed a guy that most of us didn't think would be an option. Makai Lemon is the choice .

The conversation will eventually shift back toward A. J. Brown's expected exit , but first things first.

It's time to discuss the new guy in town. Lemon was widely considered by most as one of the NFL Draft's second-best wide receivers, a prospect who probably should have been among the top 15 players taken. Then came that run on offensive tackles, and just like that, they may have changed the offensive roster's trajectory.
