Draft Projection

This former five-star recruit was the best wide receiver in his class entering college football but following a slightly above average career at Michigan, Donovan Peoples-Jones finds himself just within the top 10 to 15 receivers entering the 2020 NFL Draft.

Peoples-Jones has the size, athleticism and hands to make a career in the NFL but has a lot to prove as well.

I think with the right team and right coaching, DPJ can become a solid No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in an NFL offense and should be given the chance to show himself in the return game as well.

We won’t see Peoples-Jones go on Day 1 and early Day 2 is a stretch, but from mid-to-late Day 2 is where we should expect him to come off the board.

Prediction: Third round, No. 28 to the Baltimore Ravens
