Overview
- The Eagles traded up with the Cowboys to select USC wideout Makai Lemon at No. 20 while Lemon was on the phone with Steelers GM Omar Khan.
- Omar Khan acknowledged the call, described it as having no ill intent, and addressed the viral moment after the pick went to Philadelphia.
- The NFL is looking into whether Pittsburgh’s contact interfered with the team that was on the clock, a situation that could lead to discipline.
- Draft rules allow teams not on the clock to speak with prospects only if those talks do not interfere with the club making the pick, according to a former Eagles executive.
- A report from Cowboys beat writer Nick Harris claims Dallas tipped off Philadelphia about Pittsburgh’s plan, while Pittsburgh pivoted to OT Max Iheanachor at No. 21 and later drafted WR Germie Bernard.
