know this is a little high for him building Caleb Banks has a little Albert Haynesworth to his game. Guys that big that are that disruptive in the backfield

I like him but the foot scares me, especially since he broke it again at the combine

so is this your declaration then? Bain won't go top 10? cause that is what you are saying.



I’m not declaring anything. In a normal draft year with a larger group of elite prospects, there’s no way he’d go in the top 10.

A team could target him but there are 3 elite guys and a bunch of similar players afterward.

Agreed. I don’t think him not going top 10 can even be called a “bold” prediction after refusing to test

Lemon in the first round and Dominque Orange in the third. All Citrus Team.

Seriously though, we’re definitely looking at Lemon closely, and I’m all for it if we miss out on the Reese, Styles, Bailey sweepstakes. He’s a 1000 yard rookie, high floor guy.

Is Lemon the guy who had data posted about his success v. zone?

I like the style and grit he plays with but the weirdness reports from the combine is concerning. I guess if they select him we know it didn’t scare them off.

He’s good against both. People will be surprised by his draft position, i reckon

Only WR in draft to average more than 3 yards per route run vs both man and zone. Led P4 in first downs. Had 500+ YAC and 20+ missed tackles forced.

The list of WRs that have stacked all that together in college is short and substantial. Same category as Chase, Ceedee, JSN, etc.

Lemon is going to be legit for some team.

Reminds me of Steve smith Sr



Proximo posted earlier that 26% of his receptions were behind the line, so that checks out. Smith was so frustrating because he destroyed the Saints (and everyone else) by being so effective off of those chickenshit screen passes. The Panthers would sometimes throw the screen to Smith 2-3 times in a row.

26% behind the line, 23% went 20+ yards. Very versatile. Here’s his route tree

Really pops in the slot but can play outside too

Lemon a RB with the ball too. A contrast with Tate who is catch and fall.

That’s a great stat. I wonder if the Saints are more concerned with Bell than we’re getting. I know Shough is hyping him up and I do like him but I wonder if they want someone of a higher caliber that can be a WR1 for a few games if Olave misses time. Underhill has been on Lemon for a while but seems convinced they go defense at 8, but I still see a lot of Tate and Lemon mocked to them. I wonder if they just take Lemon at 8 and just go defense the rest of the way.

Grab Lawrence in the 2nd, then Kilgore or Dukes in the third. Grab corner depth + Coleman or Delp in the 4th

I also think WR is the one position that Loomis and Ireland seem to have the most flexibility on as far as measurables. They’ve stuck to the RAS and love the measurables for other positions but they’ve taken such a wide range of WRs since Ireland has come on board and even before then with the pick of Cooks.

I could see Lemon being the kind of pick like when the Lions took Gibbs of teams being shocked Lemon went 8 but then by the end of the season Loomis is sticking his chest out and looking like a genius again.

Wouldn't be an unreasomae 1-2 punch with vele, Johnson, and can't being the big bodied receiving options over the middle.

That's assuming worst case: every pass rusher, downs, and styles are taken.
