Lemon won the Biletnikoff Award and now gets his next platform
Lemon was the centerpiece. The Eagles traded up three spots, shipping picks No. 23, 114, and 137 to Dallas to land him at No. 20 overall. He comes out of USC with 1,156 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns last season, earning unanimous All-American honors in the process.
Stowers adds a different kind of credibility to this class. He won the Mackey Award at Vanderbilt as the nation's top tight end before going 54th overall to Philadelphia.
His PFF receiving grade of 85.3 and 45.5-inch vertical made him one of the more physically gifted pass-catchers in this draft regardless of position. The Eagles drafted him to replace what provided at his best.
