Charles earned his spot with his impact last week and will be needed to play gunner until Brandin Echols returns.
Kelly and Smith are interesting additions. Kelly is a veteran with 50 NFL starts under his belt and familiarity with some Jets coaches. Smith was a good draft prospect a few years ago but the former fourth rounder hasn't got his career off the ground yet, mainly due to injuries.
