Round 7: Jets Add P Edwards, WR Peake

The Jets finished up their 2016 draft with a pair of selections in Round 7 this evening. With the first pick they filled a special teams need, and with the second (six picks later) they added their only pass-catcher of the draft.

The Green & White addressed their ST hole by selecting punter Lac Edwards out of Sam Houston State with the 14th choice of Round 7 (235th overall).

Then with their own pick at No. 241, they grabbed Clemson wide receiver Charone Peake.

G'day, Mate

Edwards (6'4", 209), whose full first name is Lachlan, will compete to fill the punting role vacated when the Jets didn't re-sign Ryan Quigley.
