The board owed the Jets one, and it paid up: Tykee Smith, the No. 147 name on the board, sitting there at the 183rd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Mike Evans by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, with Troy Fautanu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
