JetNation Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 With their final pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the New York Jets selected Clemson WR Charone Peake. With their 7th & final draft selection of the #2016NFLDraft, the @nyjets take Clemson WR Charone Peake. — Eric Allen (@eallenjets) April 30, 2016 From NFL.com: PRO DAY RESULTS 40-yard dash: 4.37 secondsANALYSIS STRENGTHS Possesses outstanding combination of size, length and deep speed. Looks the part of a WR1. Plays with consistent lean and acceleration into routes. Big athlete with some shake underneath to separate in tight quarters. Controlled strider after the catch with ability to hit top gear quickly on wide receiver screens and crossers. Is best when aggressively finishing catches against cornerbacks. Three-level potential as a pass catcher. Shows cornerbacks varied route speeds. Sells route at his top speed, but has another gear saved up to overtake defender when he hits the gas. Legitimate deep ball threat. Has potential to be dominant run blocker if he commits. Hard worker in the classroom and scouts love his personal character.WEAKNESSES Hands are extremely small for his size and position. Late to get hands in catch-ready position on intermediate throws. Dropped five passes for drop rate of 9.1 percent. Slows a bit on vertical routes when turning to find ball rather than maintaining top speed. Can improve working to open spaces against zone. Production never matched talent. Inconsistent in release success against press. Injuries are a major concern with two knee surgeries in his background.DRAFT PROJECTION Round 3 Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77DRAFT Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 He joins a crowded receiving corps and might fight it out with Thompkins for the final spot, I like Thompkins a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 This is great value pick. Tons of upside. This "small hands" nonsense has to stop. I coach 14 year olds and they catch just fine, regardless of hand size. By that logic, Willie Colon should be a better receiver than Santana Moss.

SAR I Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 We should have used our last pick to draft that other WR kid from Clemson, Seth Ryan, and make him fetch water for our offense. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
