This Eagles-Browns Draft Day Trade Could Allow Philly to Select CeeDee Lamb
By Mark Powell
The battle for top receiver taken in the 2020 NFL Draft is a two-man race between Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb.
The Eagles, per recent reports, favor Lamb, and are interested in trading up for the former Oklahoma star.
To do so, they'll have to give up some of their future draft capital, but the Birds need at wide receiver is so great Howie Roseman might just consider it.

A string of wide receiver picks is expected to begin around the 11th pick, with the Raiders and Jets looming. To avoid missing out on Lamb, the Eagles should trade up with the Browns for the No. 10 selection. Cleveland has hinted at trading back and taking an offensive lineman.
A trade involving pick No. 21, a compensatory third-round selection in 2020 and a future second or third-round pick (ideally in 2021), should do the trick. It's a hefty package, but Philadelphia is moving up 11 spots.
If the Falcons do want to trade up for a QB and Wirfs and Thomas are gone, have to think the Browns would listen about going back to 16.

Assuming Cleveland isn't totally sold on Georgia's Andrew Thomas at No. 10, they ought to listen to Philadelphia, and improve in more ways than one come next week.
