The Eagles have selected USC WR Makai Lemon.

This is significant, as the Eagles have been rumored to have been in intense talks with the Patriots in a trade for WR A.J. Brown.

Lemon, 21, was a former five-star recruit who initially committed to Oklahoma but eventually flipped to USC. He won the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2025 as the nation’s best receiver. Lemon was also a third-team All-Big Ten selection in 2024 and a first-team selection in 2025.

He declared early for the 2026 NFL Draft.
