In what became one of the more intriguing moments of the 2026 NFL draft, the Eagles shockingly slipped the Steelers right as Pittsburgh was attempting to select wide receiver Makai Lemon with the 21st overall pick.
What happened was this: Dallas was on the clock with pick 20, and everyone knew they'd be taking a defender. That in mind, the Pittsburgh front office got on the phone with Lemon, presumably thinking they were in the clear. Meanwhile, however, the Eagles had just traded up for the Cowboys' pick. And with their newfound 20th overall selection, they were able to snag the receiver all for themselves—right from Pittsburgh's clutches.
