Commanders 2026 NFL Draft: USC WR Makai Lemon Scouting Report

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.
