Don't mind this pick. Has all the tools to be a contributor. Great vertical and fights for the ball at the highpoint. Had a couple 50/50 passes he came down with vs The Bucks that were just impressive. I'm good with it.

Are you confusing him with Nico Collins?

I liked Nico but he stayed in school.

DJP had the crucial drop in the end zone.

Collins had some nice catches against OSU in the 18 game

Are you confusing him with Ronnie Bell?

Nico had a great game against OSU in 18. I recall a great 50/50 ball near or at the goalline. They contained him in 19 because Okudah and safety help and just an overall concerted effort to shut him down.

Id love to snag him in 21

ANALYST'S REPORTS

PROS: Wonderful blend of size, hands, ball skills and athleticism. Erratic quarterback play at Michigan allowed him to showcase his ability to make adjustments to off-target throws and snatch the football securely outside of his frame. Can scoop out the low throw but also work back across his momentum to pluck the football. Natural ball tracking skills. Outstanding body control and balance to win in contested situations and hang on through contact. Does a great job of extending throwing windows and he offers an exciting catch radius. Fluid athlete that has easy acceleration and he glides once he opens up his stride. Love how he stacks and creates leverage as a route-runner. Vertical cuts are seamless. Has some post-catch ability to create yardage for himself. Sees the field well and he has the ability to break tackles. Competes like an alpha. Has two career punt return touchdowns and they were spectacular.

CONS: Lacks dynamic twitch and quickness in short areas. Frequent reps from the slot granted him free releases and he needs to prove/develop his ability to clear press coverage. Would like to see him get his hands more consistently involved early in his stem.

BEST TRAIT - Ball Skills

WORST TRAIT - Short Area Quickness

RED FLAGS - None

NFL COMP - Hakeem Nicks

Donovan Peoples-Jones didn’t quite have the production at Michigan given his status as a five-star recruit and No. 1 wide receiver in his class coming out of high school. That said, his quarterback play has been dreadful and it limited his ability to be more productive. Peoples-Jones has many qualities that make him an appealing NFL prospect and likely a better pro than college player. His hands, ball skills, size and athletic ability all shine on tape. There’s no questioning his ability to adjust to the football and pluck it with consistency. His body control and concentration along the sidelines and in contested situations are outstanding. The biggest concern with Peoples-Jones at the next level is how consistently he can beat press coverage and if he has enough quick-twitch qualities to be a consistent separator. Peoples-Jones is best utilized as a big slot that can also help his team as a returner.

I think you're right....? I'll have to double check.

Quality QB play is obviously a large part trying to evaluate wide receivers coming into the NFL.

Using PFF data, here is how often the 2020 WR class saw an accurate pass on their targets:

Well everything I see says he is a project and a potential high reward one at that

Just the sort of flier you take in the 6th round, now let’s hope he works out

And, if he don't, maybe the two WRs we pick up as UDFAs will. Little risk.
