Sure would be nice if Sadiq had the kind of production in college to warrant being ranked that high

Sadiq rated way too high there. See who Jake likes.
Agreed. In another thread, I saw that supposedly four teams had Lemon totally removed from their draft boards because of a poor interview.
Hard for me to imagine why that would be the case. When I see the interviews, it just looks like a really young guy who is ultra-competitive. I haven't done a deep dive though, I wonder if he's gotten into feuds with teammates?
Here's a clip of an interview. He's cocky and confident and competitive. So what? Dude looks fine to me, don't know why some teams are so wary of him.

Reported by a guy who makes $3600 a year spamming posts on Twitter.
I respect the grift though, dudes probably shooting for $4800 this year and I want him to get that bag!
I watched a lot of SC football, Dad and Grampa are alumns and I have a few alumni society friends, haven't heard any concerns from any of them or stories about him being difficult.
People sometimes view unique personalities as a problem.
I have managed very lare labor teams and allowing lattitude for individual expression is important and it is unfair and honestly wrong in my book to not allow for it.
There is a pretty good chance that he just isn't a guy that is natural and aware of how critical people are of interviews. I know I know it has had it pounded into his head since he became a prospect, sometimes you are what you are and that isn't always bad.
Isn’t Lemon the guy who was t paying attention to the coaching during the QB combine session and instead of running at 75%, he did like 25%. That was not a good look. This is your job/career and future employers all having eyes on you.
Enough to pass on him - no. But it’s enough to look deeper at a guy and question his focus, desire, etc. To be great in NFL, you need to take things to a higher level or three.

You sure about that?
There are many reports about his Combine press conference (I watched it and didn't think it was that bad); and that Lemon did poorly on individual team interviews (no details provided) but I have not seen any articles/reports about lack of attention or effort on WR drills.

This is what we call circumstantial evidence. Contrary to popular opinion, you can convict someone on it. But it's hardly conclusive that this is actaully what happened.
I think Lemon's stuff is overblown especially when you consider the time and attention he puts into his craft already, just watch him do all the little things right at WR. That being said, all WR's are a little special but I don't love adding another one to a room with Puka who's already a touch too special for my liking.
Rams are good at avoiding the asswipes. So if he's got some character BS bubbling out of him they don't like I'm confident they'll pass on him.
I can't recall any negatives with him at USC but there's a lot of dudes who have weird quirks you won't hear about. And wideout's a notorious primadonna position. So not worried about that with him, though it is definitely something that may affect whether the Rams take him.
Meaning we don't know that it's not an issue.
Pulling out my tinfoil hat to don for this exercise, I wonder if he's trying to discourage teams from drafting him in order to steer his way to a particular team (the Rams?). After trading Waddle, you'd think the Dolphins would be considering a young cheap WR with premier potential to serve as a replacement. Maybe Tyson feels his long-term development would be better off with the Rams' organization than Miami's.
Taking off the tinfoil, that's one loud red flag. Certainly one that would risk sacrificing a big payday at a critical juncture for his long-awaited professional career. What if the Rams (or whomever) pulled a Ravens renege on him? Not to mention that he'd actively be working to lower the amount in his paychecks by being selected at a lower draft slot should he even succeed. Plus, I find such a practice distasteful personally and unbecoming of the competitor that he supposedly is.

Interesting suggestion. Sounds like a dumb thing to do but he is young.

Well fuck, there goes my dream hahahahahaha........wtf did this guy do to his hamstring?
Given how overwhelming the Combine is, I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on one mistake.
