"Even with the emergence of Kayshon Boutte and the offseason addition of Stefon Diggs, there's no such thing as too many weapons for Drake Maye. Diggs turns 32 in November, and with how quickly offenses evolve in today's league, New England would be wise to keep an eye on the next wave of playmakers in the 2026 NFL Draft.

"The centerpiece of USC's offense, Lemon is a polished, versatile receiver who can win from anywhere on the field. A true do-it-all target who can line up both inside and outside, Lemon offers alignment versatility and the threat of taking it the distance from anywhere on the football field. At 5-foot-11, he has exceptional body control, an elite catch radius, and makes even the most difficult plays look effortless on the perimeter."
"At 6-foot-1, he's a clean route-runner with the nuance it takes to succeed quickly at the highest level of the game. Why he fits in New England is obvious beyond the physical traits -- Bernard plays with controlled aggression -- he's tough through contact, reliable at the catch point, and shows real fluidity in how he separates at the stem."

Makai Lemon from USC profiles as a polished, do-it-all 5-foot-11 perimeter threat who can line up inside or outside, offers elite catch radius, exceptional body control and deep-play ability. Germie Bernard, after transferring to Alabama, is a 6-foot-1, well-rounded route-runner who plays with controlled aggression, wins through contact, separates fluidly at the stem, and provides slot and perimeter versatility as a steady, multi-phase target.
