Eagles Draft 2026: Lemon, Stowers Highlight Class

The Eagles selected USC wide receiver Makai Lemon, the Fred Biletnikoff Award winner and unanimous All-American, with their first pick. Standing at 5'11" and 196 pounds, Lemon is known for his advanced route-running skills and ability to attack both man and zone coverages. He is expected to start as a slot receiver with 60-80 targets as a rookie, replacing A.J. Brown who is likely to be traded.

The Eagles also added Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers, a 6'4", 239-pound athletic talent who impressed at the NFL Combine with a record-setting broad jump of 11'3". Stowers ranked in the top 10 among tight ends in deep catches, deep yards, and contested catches last season. beltedkingfisher.blog
