But the Eagles have made their first round pick. Adam, it wasn't an offensive tackle. I think about 90% of mock drafts thought offensive tackle. Hey, some of the guys are talking about were there. But in the end, they get, I think, a best player available approach, a great wide receiver at a USC. Mackay Lemon, very explosive,
