The Dallas Cowboys take Jaylon Smith with pick number 34 in the draft.
Brian Kelly said what you’d expect him to say about Jaylon Smith.
"I don't think he's a risk,” Kelly told ESPN from Chicago on Friday morning. “I think he's a smart investment."
In reality the consensus All-American and former surefire Top 10 pick is both things, a risk that he won’t return to his super hero self and a smart investment that one of college football’s best athletes can be signed for a fraction of the contractual price.
On Friday night during the second round of the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys bet on Smith’s comeback in a way more substantial than the linebacker’s endorsement deals with adidas and New Era.
