Broncos Eyeing Steven Jackson?

Having moved up to the 17th spot in the first round, there are plenty of rumblings the Broncos plan to use that pick on RB Steven Jackson, who is viewed by many NFL insiders as the best RB in this year's draft. If the Broncos do take Jackson, that will only serve to muddy up their backfield even more since Garrison Hearst, Quentin Griffin and maybe Mike Anderson are also vying for playing time.

Other teams rumored to be interested in Jackson are the Patriots and Cowboys. Some reports indicate the Patriots, who have five picks in the first three rounds, may be willing to move up ahead of Denver to make sure they get Jackson.
