Peter Schrager· Apr 7, 2026
In his mock draft, Schrager has the Rams taking USC receiver Mekhi Lemmon at No. 13 overall in the 2026 draft, with Jordan Tyson the first receiver off the board to the Chiefs at ninth and Carnell Tate to the Dolphins two picks before the Rams.
“Lemon fits with a lot of what the Rams do on offense, and taking the 2025 Biletnikoff award winner would be a sign that the Rams are truly all in to win in 2026”
