It's April 24th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. McCoy Limon, the USC wide-out who lit up the field last season, shocked everyone by sliding to the 20th pick in last night's NFL draft. Projected as a top 15 lock, he went to the Philadelphia Eagles after they traded up to grab him. After two other top receivers went in the first 8 picks, folks figured Limon was next. But the Rams pivoted at their spot and took Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson instead, letting him keep falling. Draft experts were stunned. ESPN analytics gave just a 4% chance he'd still be there at 20. Most Mox had him off the board between 11 and 16, with the Rams or Jets often linked. The Eagles jumped over Pittsburgh to secure him, giving up picks just like they did two years back for quarterback Cooper Dejean. That move paid off big time for a bullet and a cough winner. Now Philly built another weapon for their offense, betting Limon turns this draft steel

into superstar status down the line.
