Lemon has already with the Kansas City Chiefs, and will also meet with the New York Giants, New York Jets, and Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lemon is one of the top WR prospects in this year\u2019s draft, and has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions. At 5\u201911, 192 pounds, Lemon is on the smaller side, but has outstanding speed, route running and ball skills. NFL Network draft expert Lance Zierlein describes Lemon has \u201cquarterback friendly\u201d and an \u201cexceptional ball-tracker with Pro Bowl upside\u201d. Other reports from around the league describe Lemon as \u201csupremely confident\u201d and \u201cplug-and-play slot receiver\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lemon is projected to go in the first round of this year\u2019s draft, most likely in the Top-15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Concepcion is a slightly bigger receiver than Lemon (6\u20190, 196 pounds), with great speed and run-after-catch ability. He also has an innate ability to get open, as per scouting reports around the league. The North Carolina native caught 61 balls for 919 yards and nine touchdowns for the Aggies last year, in the brutal SEC. Concepcion is projected to go much later than Lemon, in the late first round or early second round. In all likelihood, he may be there at pick No.30 for the Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With Jaylen Waddle\u2019s exit, the Dolphins are in desperate need of a true No. 1 option. So, whether they decide to take a big swing in the first round of the draft with Lemon or Conception, or wait until much later, remains to be seen. The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FinsXtra\/status\/2040466861033427395?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dolphins have also met with Georgia State\u2019s Ted Hurst<\/a>, a true \u201cZ\u201d receiver at 6\u20194, 206 pounds. Hurst is projected to go in the late 2nd or early 3rd round of this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">One name that\u2019s been thrown around recently is Carnell Tate, who comes from a long line of productive NFL receivers at Ohio State. However, the Dolphins have not yet scheduled an official visit with Tate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Would you draft Lemon, Concepcion, Hurst, or Tate?
