It's April 24th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. In a slick draft maneuver, the Eagles jumped from pick 23 to 20 by trading two fourth-round picks to the Cowboys, snatching wide. Receiver McCoy Lemon, right before the Steelers, could at pick 21. Pittsburgh had no clue what was coming. They were already dialing Lemon's number, thinking he was theirs, but he was tied up on the line with Philly. Thrilling the deal before the call even connected, Lemon's got that pro polish, drawing comps to Ammon Ross' same brown as the versatile starter who can line up inside or out, which is exactly why both teams were salivating over his smooth route running and big play vibe. The Steelers, left empty handed in that spot, pivoted to Arizona State Tackle Max Ihonicore at 21, hoping to bolster the line while watching. Their target slipped away to a division rival. Classic Howie Roseman Chess Move, turning the draft into a heist that stings Pittsburgh

deep into the offseason.
