From the article

Before drafting Lemon and Stowers, the Eagles traded fifth- and sixth-round picks for Dontayvion Wicks ($9 million guaranteed) and signed WR Hollywood Brown ($5 million GTD) and blocking TE Johnny Mundt ($750K gtd). While Lemon can't fully replace Brown right away, the Eagles should now have better players taking snaps that went to the likes of Kylen Granson, Darius Cooper and Jahan Dotson last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Lemon drafted R1 to address Eagles' WR depth post-A.J. Brown trade.

Lemon was drafted in Round 1 by the Eagles as part of their effort to replace A.J. Brown; while he can't fully replace Brown right away, he represents a significant investment in improved depth at wide receiver and should see meaningful snaps.
