Excited about this pick, most seem to think he can contribute right away so Enunwa and D Smith better watch the fuck out.
I've seen him as high as the 2nd round with some talking heads. Welcomed infusion of speed on offense aswell, definitely got faster in this draft.

Best part about this pick is he doesnt need to be the guy right away like Hill was forced to be. He has two legitimate pro bowl WRs to learn from, both of whom are willing to teach.

Can't wait to see us go four wide with Peake and Smith on the field, that's some speed out there. Providing we start a QB that can throw over 20 yards we should be droppin the deep ball alot more this year. |

Peake is your typical size/speed receiver you take late and hope for the best. He was buried behind a plethora of NFL talent in college so this is a chance for Jets coaches to see him up close and find out what they have. --Mark Dulgerian

OVERVIEW
Named as one of the top 15 players in the country coming out of high school, big things were expected from Peake when he arrived at Death Valley. However, injuries and other rising stars (DeAndre Hopkins, Martavis Bryant and Sammy Watkins) held off his explosion on the scene until late in his career. Peake played in 14 games as a true freshman (4-71 receiving, 2-22 kick returns) and started two of 13 games played in a sophomore campaign (25-172, two TD receiving). Peake started the first two games of the 2013 season (8-84, one TD) before tearing his ACL in a September practice. He took a medical redshirt that season, and eventually made his way back onto the field the next season (four starts in seven games, 12-129, two TD receiving). Finally healthy and fully utilized with Deshaun Watson running an excellent Clemson offense that pushed the Tigers to the national championship game, Peake had the best year of his career in 2015 (50-716, five TD).
PRO DAY RESULTS
40-yard dash: 4.37 seconds
ANALYSIS
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
SOURCES TELL US "Like his size and speed but hands are dicey. Will work out well and get people excited." -- Southeastern area scout.
NFL COMPARISON Javon Walker
BOTTOM LINE Rare combination of size and speed that can often be found in number one wide receivers. Peake was highly regarded coming out of high school but failed to post eye-popping production thanks, in part, to two knee injuries. While his small hands are a concern, his athleticism and ability to operate on all levels of the field warrant consideration inside the first three rounds if his medicals check out.

This was the biggest steal the Jets had in this draft this guy is a #2 WR. He should have gone high 2nd mid 3rd. He doesn't have to start right away see this guy making the roster as a #4 #5 WR to start out he will have a few years to develop and eventually could eventually replace Decker. He was injured which caused his stock to plummet this guy will be a immediate contributor on this team. I was surprised he was still sitting there in the 7th round.

He's gonna have to have a few years of showing reliable clutch hands for that kind of comparison. But sounds like he's def better than Devin Smith. Everyone seems to rave about him and wonder why he didn't go in the 2nd. Sounds great to me. They say he's a football player. That's always good to hear. |

I'm not sure what Matt Smith was watching when he graded Peake as a top 55 prospect. Maybe he was watching freshman Deon Cain and got his numbers mixed up. I would be surprised if Peake makes the 53 man roster, he has bad hands, disappears for large chunks of time and is made of glass. 7 th round was about where he should have went based on his speed but, I'm not expecting much at all from Peake. He was probably the 4th best receiver at Clemson last year.

He missed 11 games in the 2013 season with an ACL and then hurt his knee during a workout in July of 2014 and required "minor" surgery. Also has small hands for his size. (9 1/4") He still seems like a steal in the 7th to me. |
