You'd better believe head coach Sean McVay would love for the Los Angeles Rams to take USC wide receiver Makai Lemon with the 13th pick of the 2026 NFL draft, giving him an explosive playmaker with the ability to contribute off the bat. Lemon would immediately slot in as the No. 3 receiver and become veteran wide receiver Davante Adams' heir apparent.
Of course, other teams have their eye on the emerging USC Trojan, too. He could be gone by the time the Rams hit the clock on Day 1 of the draft. Depending on what receiver-needy teams like the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins do, there is a world where rookie wide receiver prospects Carnell Tate, Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson are all unavailable.
