To be honest I want to see what this guy can do as our WR 4 or 5. Interested in Marshall too. Anything to make sure Enunwa isn't out there to catch balls with the game on the line.
A wise man once said "we reached on this pick"... And then everyone laughed at him and we all resumed being happy that we got a guy who can turn into a 3rd round talent in the 7th round, where there are no guaranteed contracts and you're basically taking shots in the dark.
GREAT pick. Low (if any) risk in the 7th round. Any production would be a gift. This is the first draft I can remember in which players with even the slightest injury concerns dropped like stones. Wish that were the case in 2013 ---- we would have never considered Milliner in the first round.
He's a receiver I missed in evaluations, so when he was drafted I said who? After researching him I'm like 'how did I not know who this guy was?'. I'm old, brain fart.
really like this pick. kid has good potential, and the cost was nothing. on the flip side, could you imagine this pick if Rex was still our HC? the same people praising it would no doubt be bashing it. same with drafting LB's and another CB instead of offense, even if it was the best value.
Article from Cimini today on Peake: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york-je...d-steal-jets-find-a-peake-amid-a-death-valley DeAndre Hopkins. Sammy Watkins. Martavis Bryant. Charone Peake. These are the last four wide receivers drafted out of Clemson -- a.k.a. Wide Receiver U. The New York Jets tapped into the pipeline a couple of weeks ago, selecting Peake in the seventh round, 241st overall. That he lasted so long surprised many observers, considering some draft experts predicted he'd go as high as the third round. How does a Clemson receiver with size (6-foot-2), speed (4.45 seconds in the 40) and leaping ability (35-inch vertical) drop to the bottom of the draft? It's not like he had a lousy year. Peake caught 50 passes for 716 yards (14.3 average) and five touchdowns. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney once said Peake is "as talented as any player we've had at Clemson." So what gives? Scouts from two different teams pointed to two factors for Peake's slide: multiple knee injuries and a small body of work. He was a one-year wonder in college, catching more passes last season than he did in his first four years combined (49). He got an extra year due to a medical red-shirt. "He certainly has the size and speed, (but) he was basically a one-year producer," an AFC scout said. "He's had some injuries. (His) physical qualities never really met with a level of expected production." Peake was a highly recruited player, but he was overshadowed by the likes of Hopkins, Watkins and Bryant. Another scout said Peake had some minor attitude issues, speculating that he became frustrated because he was buried on the depth chart. Then came the injuries. Peake missed a total of 18 games in 2013 and 2014, including most of the '13 season due to ACL surgery. He underwent minor knee surgery last July, but managed to play in every game, finishing with six catches for 99 yards in the CFP National Championship loss to Alabama. Peake told reporters on draft day that his surgically repaired knee is 100 percent. He said he was surprised he didn't get drafted sooner, admitting he was "getting a little nervous" after the fifth round. "I didn't get a chance to really play my junior season," he said. "That might be why (the injury) hurt me a little bit -- my film. But I took advantage of it my senior year." Peake will have a terrific opportunity with the Jets. Beyond Eric Decker andBrandon Marshall, there are no locks on the depth chart. If he's able to play up to his stopwatch speed, it'll give them a much-needed, field-stretching dimension on offense. He has the right pedigree, no doubt about that. Maybe, just maybe, the Jets have found a seventh-round gem.
