Lemon drafted first round; pick questioned given A.J. Brown trade.

Lemon was drafted by the Eagles in the first round as a wide receiver. The source criticizes the pick, arguing that the Eagles would never have drafted a wideout in the first round if A.J. Brown had remained healthy and happy on the roster. The pick reflects the team's offensive strategy shift following Brown's trade.
