Rams Grab USC's Makai Lemon in Mock Draft

About this episode

Peter Schragers Mock Draft: Rams Pick USCs Makai Lemon at 13th Overall

In ESPNs first mock draft for the 2025 NFL season, Peter Schrager has the Los Angeles Rams selecting USCs Makai Lemon at the 13th overall pick. This move comes after top receivers Jordyn Tyson and Carnell Tate were taken before the Rams turn. Lemon, a Biletnikoff Award winner, is seen as a solid fit for the Rams offense, potentially helping both short and long term. However, he may not be the perfect outside replacement for Davante Adams, who is in his final contract year and turning 34. The pick also signals the Rams push for a 2026 run, as Matthew Staffords future remains uncertain.

On April 7th, Peter Schreger from ESPN dropped his first mock draft for the 2025 NFL season, pulling Intel's straight from chats at the league meetings. He has the Los Angeles Rams grabbing wide receiver McCuy Limon from USC at the 13th overall pick. Schreger's basing this on what teams are saying, not just his own takes. Earlier this week, two top receivers went off the board before the Rams turn. Kansas City snag Jordan Tyson 9th overall, and Miami took Carnell Tate at 11th. Right after, Baltimore grabbed Titan Kenyon Sadiq at 14. Rams fans see Limon as a solid fit for their offense, especially as a Beletnikoff Award winner from last year. With Devonsey Adams turning 34, and in his final contract year, plus Matthew Stafford may be wrapping up soon, this signals their pushing hard. For a 20-26 run, analysts like JB, Note Limon could contribute right away, helping short and long-term. Still, he's not the perfect outside replacement for Adams, Tyson or Tate would have

been better, but they were gone by pick 13. It's a tricky spot in the draft class, but landing a local USC star keeps the Rams' momentum rolling into the real thing.
