Indianapolis Colts full 2020 NFL mock draft

Fourth Round

With the edge and quarterback needs addressed, the Colts will be able to check off their last remaining primary need in the fourth round. Rivers will need some more targets to spread the ball around to in the Colts receiving corps. With the No. 122 overall pick in the fourth-round, look for the Colts to draft someone like Michigan Wolverines wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Peoples-Jones is 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds. Though he never went over 1,000 yards receiving at any point of his college career in Ann Arbor, let’s keep in mind how archaic the Michigan offense has looked in recent years. One could argue head coach Jim Harbaugh wasn’t able to get the most out of Peoples-Jones’ talent during his time in the Big Ten.

Regardless, Peoples-Jones leaves college with 103 career catches for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns in 37 games over three seasons. He averaged 12.9 yards per reception and was a reliable target Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson could throw the ball to for touchdowns during the last two seasons.

The best part about this draft pick for the Colts is Peoples-Jones won’t be expected to be anything close to a No. 1 receiving option in the Indianapolis offense. They have a proven No. 1 receiver in T.Y. Hilton still very much in his prime. While Rivers works on his rapport with Hilton, look for him to throw a few balls Peoples-Jones’ way should he end up being the pick by the Colts here.
