If Monday night's blowout loss to the New England Patriots were any indication, the New York Giants need to add some weapons for Jaxson Dart.
Yes, Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo are out for the season, but the Giants' lack of depth at the skill positions — particularly at wide receiver — is beyond concerning, and New York will undoubtedly look to address it during the offseason.
It's important to note that breakout receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is slated to hit free agency in March, so the Giants will have a major decision to make there. But even if they retain the 24-year-old (which could cost them around $15 million annually), they will still need to bring in another wide out to fully supplement Dart moving forward.
New York probably won't be signing any big-name playmakers in free agency given its lack of cap space, but luckily, the upcoming NFL Draft class will be teeming with talent at receiver.
We know the primary suspects already. Jordyn Tyson and Carnell Tate are widely viewed as the top two wide receivers in the class, and big-bodied options like Denzel Boston and Chris Bell are rising.
But there is a polarizing weapon who has been all over the place when it comes to draft boards: USC Trojans standout Makai Lemon.

Lemon led the Big Ten in receptions (79), receiving yards (1,156) and receiving touchdowns (11) this season, so no one can say that he hasn't been productive. He has also averaged a healthy 14.6 yards per catch.
However, I'm not entirely sure that Lemon would be the best fit alongside of Nabers.
Yes, he could slot in as an ideal Robinson replacement if Robinson departs this March, but is that really what the Giants want? It would seem that New York would be better off landing more of a possession receiver like Boston, Bell or Malachi Fields rather than Lemon, who is just 5-foot-11.
Nabers is six feet tall, so he isn't a particularly big receiver. He is a terrific all-around player and already represents a dynamic vertical threat for Big Blue, so the Giants would probably be better served partnering him up with a larger receiver.
Lemon is a very risky pick. He doesn't have elite downfield speed, and while he is a very good route runner, that won't be as effective on the NFL level if he is unable to get elite separation. That's especially considering he doesn't have the size to be physical with defensive backs.
Typically, small receivers like Lemon are major boom-or-bust guys, but the ones who make it generally have top-end speed. Think Tyreek Hill or Xavier Worthy.
Lemon doesn't really have that, and I question how much his skill set will actually translate on to the professional level.
There are far too many great wide receiver options for the Giants to settle for Lemon. I just don't think the USC product would be an ideal fit with Nabers.
