The 2020 draft might be one of the deepest WR's drafts ever with headliners Jerry Jeudy who burned Don Brown's secondary for over 200 yards in Orlando and CeeDee Lamb who looks like Antonio Brown clone. That is just touching the WR talent in this draft has you have to mention, guys like Tee Higgins from Clemson, Henry Ruggs who also burned the Wolverines secondary, Justin Jefferson who lite up the NC game from LSU, and Laviska Shenault from Colorado.
So where does that leave Donovan Peoples-Jones? Most rank him as the 13th WR in this draft. He did help his stock at the combine as he is a freak athlete but his best year on the football field was as a sophomore. The virus probably hurt his chances to pop up a couple rounds as meeting him and seeing his talent live on team visits would have helped his stock.
ESPN's Mel Kiper has a 4th - 5th round grade on the former 5 star. Which is not the news he was hoping to hear. Still it only takes 1 team to love his upside and Scout's Inc. believes he could step into a kickoff and punter returner role as a rookie.
I don't love his decision coming off a injury plagued year. With his parents both being doctors, I assume it isn't a family financial need. Of course, we don't now how he got along with Coach Harbaugh or Coach Gattis but playing well this season could of put him into the 1st or 2nd round range.
Either way, we wish him well and hope he has a long NFL career.
- 2021 DE TJ Guy is planning to commit on Friday. Seems to be down to Michigan or BC.
- Former OSU guard DJ Carlton is transferring to Marquette
- DD is also announcing his new destination today, I believe Marquette was on his finalist list.

He made a terrible decision.... we all know it...lousy attitude... but all the talent in the world, he will be drafted and fit right in with the rest in the nfl
If there's no college football this year (and that's a strong possibility), then DPJ made a great decision.
A massive what if answer.... blue man group.... I suppose that’s not a terrible way to look at it... but here’s my what if.... what if he stayed and got better and surrounded himself around a less talented crop of wrs, this draft is loaded.... he could be a 2nd rounder next year... be smarter stronger and have more money....but his parents are doctors... silver spoon child here so money may not matter... how bout this... good day Mr. Dpj .... let’s talk about the players on the roster now... or upcoming... Bob... to many updates on past players... who cares? If I’m wrong than people please tell me...but if someone wants to follow their personal career than they can... let’s focus more on history on the program and the big ten.... shoes, and updates on who is moving around the nba and nfl rosters.... we know that stuff...
