How much?

Didn't want WR

Also Howie does not have a great record of WR first round draft picks

Makai Lemon

USC · WR · Junior

Lemon is one of my favorite players in this draft. He is a wideout with a running back's body and a linebacker's temperament. He is at his best working in the slot. He wins with quickness off the line, understands how to tempo routes and consistently wins in traffic. He doesn't waste steps and he can explode in and out of the break point. He plays bigger than his size, displaying several 50/50-ball wins on elevated throws. To see his entire repertoire, just throw on the Iowa tape. He was a craftsman in that game and couldn't be covered (10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown). He is ultra-competitive after the catch, breaking tackles and fighting for yards. Overall, Lemon is going to draw a lot of comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, and they are warranted.

Devonte Smith begs to differ.

AJ wants out and a blue chipper fell into their lap.

When life gives you Lemons make a trade and move AJ

Howie played that perfectly since Max Iheanachor would’ve been gone by the time we picked.

Seems small, not a legit AJB replacement.

Thought for sure we were trading up to take the o-lineman the Steelers took.

I didn’t like Lemon heading into the draft, but I also wasn’t a fan of Jettas coming out and I get the same kind of vibes from both of them, so we’ll hope for the best!

So long AJ. It’s been fun.

I really like that this kid catches everything. He runs polished routes and good speed, and plays physical.

Never saw this one coming.

This new offense needs speed and YAC

Legit pick. We will all be happy when this team rolls out week 1 with 4 legitimate WRs that can move around.

Redone game will be insane with Dallas, Wicks, and Lemon

That’s a lot to move up 3 spots but Lemon could’ve easily gone at 12-15 and no one would’ve blinked an eye. It would’ve cost a lot more to move up into that range.

Devonta Smith is the AJ Brown replacement

This is Devonta’s Puka

Swapping out 1 head case at WR for another.
