"For the Washington Commanders, continuing to build an offense tailored around speed and playmaking around Jayden Daniels is good business. With David Blough now at the controls, where the offense will have an emphasis on creating mismatches and stressing defenses at all three levels, Washington profiles as a natural landing spot for a versatile wideout who can win both inside and out."
"While No. 7 overall may be a bit rich, Makai Lemon's blend of route-running polish, suddenness, and football intelligence would immediately raise the efficiency of the passing game and present a 1-2 combination alongside Terry McLaurin that would keep defenses up late at night. Now, the question isn't whether Lemon fits the Commanders' offensive identity, but how highly they value a receiver whose game is built on nuance and explosiveness at 5-foot-11."
"Notes: Height: 5-foot-11Weight: 195 poundsExpected 40 Yard Dash Time:4.42-4.48 secondsRecruiting:Four-star recruit. Top-100 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. College Production: Productive multi-year contributor at USC. Primary slot receiver with expanded usage outside. Consistent chain-mover with strong yards-after-catch efficiency who totaled 1,156 receiving yards and 11 TDs in 2025 (junior year). Positives: - Advanced route runner with excellent tempo and pacing. Consistently creates separation at the top of routes.-"
Washington projects as a suitable landing spot for a versatile receiver who can win inside and outside while the offense emphasizes speed, mismatches, and stressing all three levels. Makai Lemon is a 5-foot-11, 195-pound prospect with advanced route-running, outstanding short-area burst, natural hands, high football IQ, and dynamic after-the-catch ability. Lemon produced 1,156 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025 and can align in the slot or outside while running jet motion and screens. His timing-and-spacing skill set would boost passing-game efficiency and form a complementary 1-2 with Terry McLaurin, though draft value depends on how teams weigh nuanced explosiveness versus draft cost.
