While the Saints covet fellow Bayou Bengal Glenn Dorsey, his college teammate Jackson will be a nice consolation prize. Jackson will again remind NFL scouts that a fast 40 time does not guarantee NFL success.
11. Buffalo Bills
Re-Draft Selection: Martin Rucker, TE, Missouri
Rucker will remind more NFL fans of Kellen Winslow than Winslow's own son. With the re-emergence of J.P. Losman as starting quarterback the Bills will challenge the Patriots for NFL East supremacy. Rucker becomes the best tight end in football and the Losman-Rucker combo becomes one of the most feared tandems in the NFL.
12. Denver Broncos
Re-Draft Selection: Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
With Travis Henry too busy juggling his 19 kids and 15 baby mama's, the selection of Jones would give the Broncos the cut-back runner that has become a staple of the Broncos running game.
Jones, becomes a dual threat, challenging for the NFL rushing crown and leading the NFL in kick returns and returns for touchdown representing the AFC in the Pro-Bowl for special teams play.
13. Carolina Panthers
Re-Draft Selection: Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii
The Panthers are in desperate need for a QB, after trotting out David Carr, Matt Moore and the petrified Vinny Testeverde for the injured Jake Delhomme, it is apparent that Carolina needs to groom a young QB.
After a slow start to his NFL career, Brennan begins to come into his own in 2011 and reminds fans of a young Jake Plummer, for better or for worse.
14. Chicago Bears
Re-Draft Selection: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
Cedric Benson has a little bit of the Shaun "Tin-Man" Alexander disease and is not the answer at running back for the Bears.
The selection of Mendenhall would not only put the screws to Detroit Lions, who covet Mendenhall, but solidifies their running game, taking pressure off of new Bears starting QB Donovan McNabb.
15. Detroit Lions
Re-Draft Selection: Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
In 2011, the Lions are once again the worst team in the NFL. Vernon Gholston will not fall this far Saturday, even if he did Matt Millen wouldn't select him.
Gholston will become an impact NFL player from day 1, but coaches will continue to question his heart and desire to play causing him to fall in my Re-Draft.
16. Arizona Cardinals
Re-Draft Selection: Justin King, CB, Penn St.
The Cardinals are going to need secondary help with the addition of Mike Martz and Al Saunders to the NFC West.
Justin King shows flashes of brilliance as he did at times for the Nittany Lions, but he also gets abused occasionally as he also did at Penn St. Fortunately for the Cardinals, the only time he gets burned regularly is in practice by future Hall of Famers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.
17. Kansas City Cheifs
Re-Draft Selection: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise St.
The Chiefs need a lot of help along their offensive line and hope to come out of this draft with someone who can open up running lanes for Larry Johnson.
Clady should be long gone by the 17th pick, and while he doesn't end up developing into an elite left tackle along the lines of Orlando Pace or Jonathan Ogden, Clady should become a solid NFL starter for many years in this league.
18. Houston Texans
Re-Draft Selection: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
Dunta Robinson is injured and the Texans need an insurance policy in the event he never regains his Pro-Bowl form.
Talib, one of the draft's boom or bust prospects develops into a highly respected two-way player who also dominates on special teams. In 2011, I look for him to have led the league in INT's at least once, and to have a couple of highlight worthy punt-returns.
19. Philadelphia Eagles
Re-Draft Selection: Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma St.
The Eagles are in need of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball to complement Kevin Curtis and Brian Westbrook.
While fellow "big" Big 12 receivers Malcolm Kelly and Limas Sweed will be selected ahead of Bowman on Saturday, it is Bowman's ability to make every catch and give Eagles QB Kevin Kolb and reliable weapon in the middle of the field that will seperate Bowman from his Big 12 contemporaries. I look for Bowman, to become a poor man's Keyshawn Johnson and have a solid NFL career.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
