The Miami Dolphins have been doing their homework on wide receivers in the upcoming NFL Draft as the team lacks any star power at the position. The most recent name to visit with the Dolphins was USC’s Makai Lemon, who is one of the top receiver prospects this year. The Dolphins would need to grab him with the 11th overall selection if they wanted him and if he is there. While we aren’t sure what Jon-Eric Sullivan will do, Lemon at 11 just doesn’t seem likely considering how the Green Bay Packers drafted wide receivers. But who knows, maybe Sullivan and company would like Lemon too much to pass on him.
