According to Underdog Sports’ mock draft analysis tool that we previewed last week, Lemon is a common target for both the Miami Dolphins (11th overall) and the Rams.
This is the full picture for LA: Makai Lemon – 31% Jordyn Tyson – 24% Spencer Fano – 14% Monroe Freeling – 6% KC Concepcion – 5% Per @RapSheet , the Dolphins are planning on bringing in USC WR Makai Lemon for a Top 30 visit. Miami has been vocal recently about adding receiver talent in the draft, how would you feel about Makai Lemon at 11? pic.

Tyson’s college career was plagued by missed games due to injuries to his knee, collarbone, and hamstring.
The hamstring has limited his ability to perform in the combine and display his talents in front of teams. Schrager mocked Tyson to the Chiefs within the top 10, which could mean that he’s hearing across the league that concerns surrounding the history of injuries may be overstated. If Tyson does last longer than expected, Lemon could in turn rise up draft boards and not make it to the Rams at #13.
