NFL draft projection: Makai Lemon slated to go to prime NFC contender

The best potential team Makai Lemon could land with would be the LA Rams, and he would fit like a glove in Sean McVay's offense

Makai Lemon is a lock to be a dangerous weapon for any NFL team he lands with. There are some destinations where, if a certain team gets its hands on him, it could be bad news for the rest of the league. The Los Angeles Rams , with both a great culture and the best staff and offensive pieces to unlock Makai Lemon in Year 1, fit that bill.

In the latest NFL mock draft by Mike Renner, he is projecting Makai Lemon to land with one of the best teams in the NFL, the Los Angeles Rams. Here are his thoughts on why Lemon would be a home run pick for Sean McVay and Les Snead: "Makai Lemon is a Rams-type wide receiver. He plays a rugged brand of football and is more than willing to work the middle of the field.

His game should translate quickly to the NFL. " Makai Lemon is the perfect fit in an explosive offense, as he fights for extra yardage, and he makes the big plays like all the other great receivers in the league. The Rams' drafting Makai Lemon would be a move that makes all the other contenders in the league pretty scared.

The Rams' offense last season propelled Matthew Stafford to winning his first MVP. I think with the addition of Lemon, Stafford will be in the running once again. This article originally appeared on Trojans Wire: The Rams getting Makai Lemon would elevate their Super Bowl chances
