DPJ to the Browns at Pick 187
Perhaps everyone can stop with the wr count now. He got drafted, it's up to him to show the NFL what he is made of. Whether it was scheme, team, or him...doesnt matter now
Before every OSU receiver also. Crazy draft, because I thought those guys were studs.
Plus 1 underrated
I hope he does better than most Michigan players do on the Browns. They haven’t had a successful pick from Michigan since Steve Everitt.
They haven't had successful picks from anywhere.
Jabrill was a starter before being traded for OBJ.
It's actually a good situation for him. OBJ and Landry are stars to emulate, and the 3rd spot is wide open.
Jarvis, maybe. Wouldn't want my kid emulating ANYTHING OBJ does except for maybe the one-handed catches. I think DPJ does well with the Browns
I don’t know that there is a third spot in that offense. There was hardly a second spot behind diggs as far as targets and yardage goes
OBJ is talented as hell but I’m not sure there are many great things a young receiver would want to emulate. especially one that has a lot of work to do and could probably stand a mature more humbled NFL WR to emulate.
Despite the fact I am a Lions fan, the only NFL jersey I own is a Braylon Edwards Browns jersey. I think I am going to get a DPJ one as well and make it a thing.
Add a peppers one for pennys on the dollar!!!!
Now the Twitters and analyst are shitting on Michigan for not developing him
They are not wrong.
He spent his first two years at Michigan being coached by GA’s. So yeah, I can see why people would be trashing Michigan for not developing him.
DPJ was a former 5* and #1 WR coming out of high school after all. That 2017 class has been kinda abysmal. What a shame.
We didn’t develop him. There’s a reason why the WR recruiting has fallen off a cliff.
Who’s left now? Runyan, Glasgow, & McKeon?
Hill and Metellus
....and Mineral King!
He’d be lucky to get a call from the XFL
Hope he has a good pro career. Disappointing career at Michigan v. the hype and potential. But will always remember that sideline bomb he caught v Sparty to put that one in the win column!
The Cleveland Browns... where good players go to suffer.
I can’t help but wonder if that’s also the moniker for UM.
Compare our W-L record with Clevelands from 2015 to 2019, and I think you'll see a slight difference.
Hopefully he can have a nice career. If I'm not mistaken his pick surprisingly put Michigan in tied for first in big ten, although Michigan picks are obviously more back end loaded
We have the most picks of any bigten team and that includes Notre Dame as well since they are a rival
I've counted 7 for both osu and Michigan. And four for both Penn State and Wisconsin.... Now 8 with Runyan!
Congrats to the young man. I was hoping he’d go to NE but an opportunity is what he needed. Now it’s time to make the best of it.
will Browns fans treat him better than they did Jabrill?
They won’t boo him until his first dropped pass. Then they will do their best to run him out of town.
And just like that.... you’ll never hear his name again. And that makes me sad.
Good luck to him. I hope he proves the draft process wrong and has a long, successful career.
Best of luck to him. Wish he would have stayed.
Peoples-Jones didn’t live up to his recruiting rankings at Michigan and there’s little reason to believe he’s going to make much of an impact in the NFL. He should’ve stayed another year.
Little reason? He is fast, strong, and can make great adjustments on the ball. Will probably be a much better pro than college player.
I’ll pray for him in Cleveland. Ohio is cursed for blue men.
Could pack on a few lbs and be a OLB.
Drafted before any OSU wide receiver.
Is that true? I thought the guy who spells his name "Benjimin" got drafted already
I can’t wait for rival schools to use the 30-45 second clip of the ESPN analysts politely bagging on Michigan when they were discussing DPJ getting picked as a great recruiting tool against us.
Harbaugh is countering other teams by ignoring elite talent at WR all together, thus no negative recruiting, and is offering mediocre 3* WR recruits with an offer they simply cannot refuse.
Thoughts and prayers.
Those who stay will be champions.........those who leave will be 6th round draft choices.
it's been a while since we've seen champions hasn't it...
You must have missed the thread about the Big Ten East champions trophy being proudly displayed at UM.
Wow. Should have played another year in college. Going early cost him like $2MM in contract money. And he gets drafted by the dogshit Browns. DPJ what were you thinking?
Pretty clearly, he was thinking “fuck this, I’m out.”
His draft grade was shit and he still left. He wanted to go.
The amount of crying and ripping on Harbaugh for his lack of recruiting/player development is absurd.
8 Wolverines were drafted in the first 200 picks. Tied with OSU for most in B1G, every other school far behind. If an NFL draft class roughly equates with a recruiting cycle, JH is meeting/exceeding any reasonable expectation - 8 of the top 200 players is really good.
JH has done a FAR better job of recruiting/developing NFL- draftable players than his predecessors. He's averaged 6 draftees per year, basically double what his two predecessors produced.
OSU, 'bama, and LSU are the only schools that have had more players drafted than Michigan under Harbaugh (Clemson/Florida about even).
He's gotten more players drafted than Georgia, PSU, USC, FSU, Texas, OK, Stanford, ND, Miami - you name it.
Yes, OSU/LSU/Alabama produce more draftees and first round talent - absolutely no disputing that. OSU and 'bama have also dominated on the field. College football is incredibly top-heavy these days.
If you want to complain about that, fine. We're not 'bama or OSU. I concur. I too wish we could beat OSU.
6th round for DPJ is awful. Should have come back for a healthy senior season. Just left about $2MM on the table. Just a travesty for a high end talent. Who is that guy’s agent ? Not good.
No evidence he would have been more productive as a senior
But bad choice to go pro and now going to the only franchise worse than the Lions. Should have come back and played with a real QB.
