The 2026 NFL Draft is set to take place in Pittsburgh, where the Detroit Lions will select 17th overall. Although the Lions are not looking to draft a wide receiver early due to their strong roster featuring Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, USC's Makai Lemon has emerged as a notable prospect. NFL insider Adam Schefter reports that Lemon has drawn comparisons to St. Brown, with a coach praising his ball skills as potentially superior. Lemon currently ranks ninth on Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board, indicating his potential value in the draft. Last season, Amon-Ra St. Brown ranked fifth in the NFL with 1,401 receiving yards, while Williams was tied for ninth with 1,117 yards. The Lions were the only team to have two players in the top 10 for receiving yards, underscoring their offensive strength.
