# Is Makai Lemon the WR2 in Philadelphia after the A.J. Brown trade?

Not quite — based on the wiki, **Lemon is not the WR2** in Philadelphia right now. Here's the post-Brown depth chart (from the Makai Lemon page):

1. **DeVonta Smith** — clear WR1
2. **Dontayvion Wicks** (trade acquisition)
3. **Marquise "Hollywood" Brown** (free agent)
4. **Makai Lemon** (first-round rookie)
5. Plus **Elijah Moore** and rookie **Antonio Williams** in the mix

So Lemon is fourth on the initial depth chart. That said, the Eagles invested a **first-round pick (No. 20 overall)** and traded up for him — teams don't do that for a guy they plan to keep on the bench. OC Sean Mannion's West Coast system distributes targets rather than force-feeding one alpha, so there should be enough volume to go around. ESPN projects Lemon for **98 targets, 62 catches, 883 yards, and 5 TDs** — making him a solid WR3/flex with upside, just not the clear WR2.

As Josh & Hayden put it on Underdog: *"Makai Lemon's WR36 price tag should incorporate that A.J. Brown is already off this roster"* — meaning his ADP likely hasn't fully baked in the opportunity yet. Worth monitoring in training camp.
