Jets draft Erik Foley in the third round

With the seventeenth pick in the third round, the Winnipeg Jets have drafted Erik Foley of the Cedar Rapid RoughRiders of the USHL. Foley is around a point per game player in the USHL. Foley seems like a decent prospect, but there is not much on him around the interwebs.

He is said to be an offensive winger, a position that the Jets have a bevy of thanks to recent draft picks. Foley is not the biggest player in the world, but he has decent size and plays a bit like a power forward. He has potential in the future. He is going to Providence College in the NCAA next year, which means the Jets will have 4 years to sign him.

In Lou We Trust has an in-depth scouting report on Foley that has more details about the type of player he is and what fans can expect from him in the future.
