The Philadelphia Eagles made a strategic move in the NFL draft by trading with their division rival, the Dallas Cowboys, to select wide receiver Makai Lemon from the University of Southern California with the No. 20 pick. In exchange, the Cowboys received the No. 23 pick along with two fourth-round selections, Nos. 114 and 137, and a 2027 seventh-round pick. This trade suggests the Eagles are preparing for a potential trade involving A.J. Brown, who is rumored to be headed to the New England Patriots after June 1. Discussions between the two teams have taken place, but a deal will likely wait until after that date to manage Brown's significant $40 million salary cap charge. Lemon had a standout college season, recording 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns, and finished his college career with 137 catches for 2,008 yards and 14 touchdowns.
