I'd say about 10 for Rice and 14 for Vj for me.

I would like to know where these two go in startup dynasty drafts now...

Got V. Jax at 4.03 in a startup this past Sunday. Rice went at 3.12 but pre-surgery news.
In a redraft, I wouldnt pick up Rice at all. from what I have heard, he wont be getting in the lineup soon enough to affect your regular season and may or may not be back in time to affect your post season.
VJax is a different story because he at least may play and wont need much time to get up to speed once he does return, but I would draft him as a WR4 or WR5. There is no point drafting him at a time when you are picking starters because he will miss at least 3 and likely more than 6 games. There is also the possibility he will miss the entire season if the Chargers dont trade him (yes, pure speculation.... but things have been rather sour between him & the chargers of late... I do not expect this to change)
If you hear news that VJax was traded or has finally signed, then I'd boost him immediately on my draft board. However based on what the chargers GM has said (and hes a bit of an arrogant guy who is full of himself) I am not inclined to believe he will give in to any demands.

THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA

Curious to S.Holmes ADP in both as well.

Unless you have very deep rosters or an IR spot, Rice is undraftable in redrafts. Jackson is effectively undraftable given his current Adp, but hypothetically I would probably take him as my WR5 in a start 3WR lineup situation.

I just had a draft last night in a startup and i took Sidney Rice in the 9th round. This league has 17 roster spots and you start 3 WR's and 1 Flex so i took a shot with Rice, hopefully coming back around November and tearing it up for me for a big push into the playoffs. Grant it i already had a pretty solid set of WR's in Wayne, Steve Smith (car), Sims-Walker and Aromashadu to take the risk.

A 17-round league that starts 3 wides, it's going to be very hard keeping a 4th or 5th WR completely inactive on that sized roster. Between other injuries, poor performances, byes, and waiver claims, I can't see how you don't drop Rice long before he's even off crutches.

I took Rice in the 17th round of my 12 team, 18-man roster, keep 6 league last night. I've got several weeks of regular-season play to monitor his recovery and if it's not looking promising, he's an easy cut for my bye week DEF and PK. I'm not really expecting him back in 2010 but it's a low-cost lottery ticket just in case.

I play in one keeper league where you can keep 4 from any round, plus one player selected after round 20. I am definitely going to try to sneak one of those 2 in after round 20 sometime, so I can keep them for free next season.
I will probably also throw Ben Tate in at round 40, just so he is an option as well.

When every WR that's off the board that can consistently help me is gone, I'll take Rice and Jackson next. That number of WR is somewhere between 28 and 37.

It's complicated, for Jackson in particular.
Most assume he's not playing any significant number of games for SD this year. So let's move on from there.
Next is what YOU believe is the percentage chance of him being traded this year.
Then, you have to figure out if he misses 3 or 6 games. Either way, that's a value knock-off as well.
Then you have to wonder (or analyze
) how effective he would be wherever he goes.
But for me, even after all of that, he's worth SOMETHING fairly significant. Let's say I guess the odds of him being traded are 50%, that he will be traded before Sept 4th if at all (meaning a 3 game suspension rather than 6), and that he will absolutely be featured by any team willing to make the investment in him (would be crazy not to frankly). That "featuring" to me means that he's going to have success, because I believe he is very talented.
So what is a 50% shot at a top 10 receiver for 13 games worth? There again, more factors to consider. What's your league like, is it dominated by studs? Are you very likely to make the playoffs (do you have a strong history in your league) What's the playoff format (if any)?
So the answer is, "It depends. On a BUNCH of things.". I personally might be more inclined than most to pull the trigger in the mid-rounds given a fairly generic redraft scenario.
