Jackson is a good player, great at times, but not in the top 5. I'd probably take Megatron, Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings and Andre Johnson all over VJ and maybe even a guy like Steve Smith (still) or an up-and-comer like Hakeem Nicks.
Still, even in the top 15, he's a helluva talent. I don't understand San Diego letting him walk. Malcolm Floyd hasn't shown anything more than being a reliable #2/#3 guy, Gates is clearly slowing down and Vincent Brown showed promise but nothing that suggests he's ready for the #1 WR role. I wonder if SD is gearing up to make Mike Wallace an offer since he'll be an RFA and it's likely the Steelers won't have the cap space to make him a long-term offer until after the draft. The Chargers would give up the 18th pick, but that may be fine to get a guy like Wallace.
