Does this mean Hurts will now throw in the middle of the field? Asking for a friend...

All the top OL prospects were gone. So I think we did pretty good considering the hand we were dealt. Plus, we still have two 3rd-round picks. I thought for sure one or both of those could have been traded away.

Devonta Smith is the AJ Brown replacement

This is Devonta’s Puka

Different kinds of receivers. Smith does not fit the AJB mould.

Who fit that mold on Seattle last year?

Hurts is on notice he has to throw to the middle of the field. This gives him a short range target that will be open all the time

Top 10 talent at 20 for two 4ths. I'll take it in a weak draft. Doesn't drop the ball and YAC is his thing. Maybe he won't be outside, but if he's that good of a talent I'm glad they have him. Much better pick than reaching for an OL at that point.

Let's hope he can be a Cooper DeJean in the slot quality of player for the offense.

They are way high on him

Fun fact, the last time the Eagles took a WR from USC with the 20th overall pick, they drafted Nelson Agholor 😂

Jokes aside, I think Lemon will fare much better, but agree with above posters that he's not a direct replacement for A.J. Brown. Now this may be by design considering our new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is supposedly bringing the McVay/Shanahan style offense to Philly. Interestingly, I had the Rams taking Lemon with the 13th pick, so I guess it is good value.

The Fred Biletnikoff Award winner. For good reason.

🤣

When life gives you Lemons make a trade and move AJ

Or we can still easily go with Brown, Smith and Lemon as WR corps :)

Yes reports from rap say Steelers were taking lemon at 21. They had called him

More like our Puka Nakua in the slot. Dallas done F'ed Up.

That's a high bar but the point there is that slot WRs can do serious damage

I think he starts week 1. The Fred Biletnikoff Award winner can do multiple things. This city is going to love this kid. Just watch some tape. Not to mention he returns kickoffs too.

Now it will depend on the QB to throw an accurate and on time ball. In the middle of the field where this kid lives.

I am just a little bit worried if he isn't ... you know ... an Ahole...since Steelers wanted him that much😅

Picks 114 and 137

Very Expensive trade UP, for my taste. I like the player, but 2 fourths....??? I hope it will be worth it. Some good players were selected right after him.

Yeah that seems a bit steep, they must have really liked him, hopefully he works out.

Im wondering how much input mannion had.

Its his offense and im sure he had a wish list of guys that fit his system.

If it comes out that lemons favorite route is the hitch im definitely out on him.

Hawks had a great defense that won them the SB
