The Baltimore Ravens are looking to boost their passing game for quarterback Lamar Jackson by targeting USC wide receiver, Mackay Lemon, with the 14th overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Jackson already has a strong bond with Zay Flowers, who's topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his three NFL seasons so far. That connection is solid, but the team needs another elite option, especially after losing tight an Isaiah likely to free agency. That move leaves about 200 slot receiving snaps to fill, and Lemon fits perfectly, having lined up in the slot on 75.6% of his college pass snaps. Fans and analysts see this as a smart way to get younger playmakers around Jackson. The Ravens already added edge-rusher Trey Hendrickson in free agency to shore up the defense, but pairing Flowers with a star like Lemon could make. Their offense unstoppable. Lemon stand out college stats back it up, with a 91.4 receiving grade from PFF in 2025
