- Round 6 • Pick 8 (187) • WR Donovan Peoples-Jones.
Fans and media members including myself were extremely excited for this pick with the hopes he could be the next Josh Cribbs or Eric Metcalf.
At the very least, perhaps he could do for the Browns what Jabrill Peppers never could do out of Michigan. Fans are still waiting however as through two games DPJ hasn’t done much of anything. He currently has 0 catches. He has returned 2 punts for 18 yards, and 8 kickoffs for 172 yards.
Grade – D
Summary – Very promising starts with Willis JR and Bryant, not much from anyone else just yet. I still say Phillips and Elliot have the door wide open for them both to start making plays. The Browns badly need a LB to step up, can Phillips answer the call? The door is also open for DPJ as well on special teams and offense if he could find some open field to run in.
