Makai Lemon to be a Top-20 Draft Pick This Year?
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport expects there to be two wide receivers taken within the top 15 picks of this year's draft in a couple of weeks, and he goes on to say that there's a "pretty decent chance" that USC's Makai Lemon will be the third wideout off the board around the No. 16 to No. 18 range. Even though Lemon's interviews were criticized during the NFL scouting combine, plenty of teams like him and have compared him to Lions pass-catcher Amon-Ra St. Brown, which is a very high compliment. The New York Jets, Lions, and Vikings are currently in draft spots 16 through 18. Lemon has already had a pre-draft visit with the receiver-needy Miami Dolphins, who hold the 11th overall pick and the 30th overall pick in the first round. Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate is the consensus No. 1 player at the position in this year's draft class, and Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson is the other player who could go before Lemon on April 23. Regardless of where Lemon goes in the draft, he should have immediate fantasy appeal in single-year and dynasty leagues in 2026.
