4th Round: WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michigan
Peoples-Jones has his drawbacks as an outside wide receiver but really shone bright as a big slot receiver at Michigan. Kind of an opposite to the Hamler pick in the third round, Peoples-Jones is a big-bodied weapon with surprising straight-line speed but he’s not going to make too many guys miss or come wide open on a sick break in his route.
However, pairing Peoples-Jones with tight end Mark Andrews over the middle would force defenses to play closer to the line of scrimmage and defend the seam. Brown’s speed on the outside in combination will split defenses and force them to pick where they’re going to get beat. The second the safety chooses a direction to cover, the ball is going to the opposite.
Peoples-Jones needs refining but has a lot to offer already. He can be a difference-maker in the right system.
