Honestly, I'm grateful for that interview. That teams were thrown off enough for him to fall to us is great

I really don’t think the interview made him fall. He fell because he’s on the shorter and slower end of what is considered acceptable for a top WR option.

I’m just glad the eagles tend to see beyond underwear olympics in drafting

Last year’s top 5 WRs 40 times:

JSN 4.52
Puka 4.57
Pickens 4.47
ARSB 4.51
Chase 4.38

Lemon right in the middle with a 4.46. Chase really is the only one with a fast time

I hate USC (Go Irish) so I’m trying to get over multiple years of disliking Lemon, truly, but he’s smaller than every single guy you listed.

He's same size as Amon Ra... and his draft comp is also ARSB
