The Miami Dolphins will meet with USC wide receiver Makai Lemon on a Top-30 visit, as per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Lemon has already with the Kansas City Chiefs, and will also meet with the New York Giants, New York Jets, and Washington Commanders.
Lemon is one of the top WR prospects in this year’s draft, and has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit
Lions. At 5’11, 192 pounds, Lemon is on the smaller side, but has outstanding speed, route running and ball skills. NFL Network draft expert Lance Zierlein describes Lemon has “quarterback friendly” and an “exceptional ball-tracker with Pro Bowl upside”. Other reports from around the league describe Lemon as “supremely confident” and “plug-and-play slot receiver”.
Lemon is projected to go in the first round of this year’s draft, most likely in the Top-15.
However, Lemon is not the only receiver that the Dolphins are interested in this year’s draft. The organization has also held a Top-30 visit with Kevin “KC” Concepcion, wide receiver for Texas A&M.
Concepcion is a slightly bigger receiver than Lemon (6’0, 196 pounds), with great speed and run-after-catch ability. He also has an innate ability to get open, as per scouting reports around the league. The North Carolina native caught 61 balls for 919 yards and nine touchdowns for the Aggies last year, in the brutal SEC. Concepcion is projected to go much later than Lemon, maybe even as late as the second round. In all likelihood, he may be there at pick No.30 for the Dolphins.
With Jaylen Waddle’s exit, the Dolphins are in desperate need of a true No. 1 option. Whether they decide to take a big swing in the early rounds of the draft, or wait until much later, remains to be seen. Another name that’s been thrown around is Carnell Tate, who comes from a long line of productive NFL receivers at Ohio State. However, the Dolphins have not yet scheduled an official visit with Tate.
