1. Lamb’s numbers with Sooners are incredible

There’s a reason why Lamb is considered one of the top wideouts from the 2020 draft class, and no matter what team he ends up on, chances are he will find a way to make an immediate impact as a rookie.

How great has Lamb been for the Sooners over the years? Well, just the fact that Lamb has caught 25 touchdown passes over the last two years alone shows what he could bring to the table in the NFL.

Even if Lamb needed a little time while adjusting to the transition, this still seems like a move that would be well worth it for a team like the Eagles, especially with all of their issues from 2019 at wide receiver.

Over the years, there have been plenty of teams that have benefitted in a big way from trading up in the draft to land a top wideout, with Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons immediately coming to mind.

This doesn’t mean Lamb is anywhere near the same level of Jones since what the Falcons wideout has been able to accomplish in his career has been incredible to witness, but for all the Eagles know, the Sooners star could one day be part of the discussion.
