Summary
In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into the NFC East's 2026 NFL Draft results — a division that delivered surprises, steals, and some of the smartest roster construction of the entire weekend. The Dallas Cowboys put together one of their most disciplined, value‑driven drafts in years, addressing needs without reaching and stacking long‑term contributors.
But the headline moment came when the Philadelphia Eagles stole USC WR Makai Lemon right out from under the Steelers, adding a dynamic playmaker who fits perfectly into their evolving passing attack. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders each made moves that signal where their rebuilds are headed — but who actually improved the most.
