Round 2: Michigan WR Donovan Peoples-Jones

Peoples-Jones probably would’ve been off the table earlier in the mock draft, had it not been for the depth at wide receiver in this current class. I think he could definitely compete for the second wide receiver spot on the team. He could be a competent slot receiver. He disappointed a bit at Michigan after earning a five-star rating out of high school. However, his upside is high, and the Vikings already have decent receiving threats in Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph. Minnesota might have to lean on Rudolph more than in seasons past, if Peoples-Jones was hypothetically picked and doesn’t pan out.
