| 0:00.0 | A week ago, the Eagles made their first round pick, and it was Mackay Lemon. |
| 0:06.8 | Let's get Andrew to check those thoughts on that, and he had predicted on the show that the Eagles |
| 0:10.7 | would trade up. |
| 0:12.9 | Monroe Freeling was there at 19. |
| 0:17.0 | Andrew, was that who the Eagles were trying to maneuver up to go get? |
| 0:21.6 | He goes at 19 and then they have a guy they like in Lemon still on their list. |
| 0:26.6 | What do you make of their night trying to, you know, possibly move up a little further? |
| 0:32.6 | Because it sounded like they wanted to try to get to 15, 16 somewhere in there. |
| 0:36.6 | Yeah, I mean, that was my presumption, Mike, that Monroe framing was the guy, but I haven't |
| 0:41.5 | gotten that confirmed. |
| 0:42.6 | But one can sort of draw conclusions knowing how much time they spent really evaluating the |
| 0:48.3 | offensive tackle position and some of the preeminent players at that position. |

| 0:56.5 | Mackay Lemon to be there. There was a need for wide receiver and it's certainly aligned. |
| 1:01.3 | You know, I really like the pick. I think he's someone who projects as an early impact kind of |
| 1:06.6 | player. He can thrive over the middle of the field, win on some of those in-breaking routes, |
| 1:11.4 | really, really razor-sharp route runner can separate the top of the routes and physical at |
| 1:16.8 | the catch point. He kind of reminds me in body type and skill set, like a Steve Smith, and then |
| 1:23.3 | after the catch, he reminds me a little bit of Golden Tate, acting almost as a bowling ball |
| 1:27.9 | and defenders being the bowling pen. He really fights for every yard. So it's a really good fit |
| 1:32.4 | from an intangible, from a skill set perspective, based off of what we're expecting the |
| 1:40.0 | Eagles to do under Sean Manette. Right. So they get him at 20. He is a slot guy. You know, that's where he ran a lot of his |
