One predicted landing spot for Makai Lemon could change the NFC
Makai Lemon has been projected to join an already electrifying offense in one recent mock draft. This new team resides in the NFC East
The Dallas Cowboys' main priority should be to improve a defense that was very vulnerable last season, until they made the trade for Quinnen Williams. Dallas has two first-round picks in this draft, and the Cowboys have the resources to upgrade that unit. Since offense sells tickets, and Jerry Jones loves the attention, the 'Boys could go the route of drafting a superstar on offense .
In a recent mock draft , Josh Edwards, a CBS Sports writer, provides a new interesting landing spot for Makai Lemon. Here are his thoughts on Makai Lemon landing in Dallas: "Another wide receiver may seem like overkill, but the team is being aggressive with the additions of Quinnen Williams and Rashan Gary. Makai Lemon gives them another slot element and allows them to move some of the chess pieces around the board, but he also provides insurance and creates a potential off-ramp if CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens becomes too expensive.
" The Cowboys are currently in negotiations with George Pickens, and should he want out, they will definitely need a plan in place to maintain last season's dominant offense. Both receivers are dominant outside guys; the best thing to add to that would be an elite slot wide receiver threat. Dak Prescott is the perfect quarterback to get targets to all of his weapons, and Makai Lemon would provide another wrinkle to an already explosive unit.
