What we’re scoring
The thread identifies Lemon, and the author explicitly forecasts receiver order. His best-receiver appraisal is not a separate objective result; likely forty bands and a hypothetical Jets slot role do not add defined independent draft picks.
The ruling
Tennessee selected wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall. Philadelphia selected Lemon 20th, as confirmed in its own draft announcement. At least one receiver was taken before Lemon.
