The Score is in the process of publishing redrafts of all major sports over he last several years, ranging from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and the MLB. In their redraft of the 2015 NFL Draft, two Wildcats found themselves selected within the first 13 names taken off the board. The first? Former Kentucky pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith, who jumped all the way from No. 122 overall in the fourth round to No. 6 overall to the New York Jets.

6. New York Jets

Original pick: Leonard Williams New pick: Za'Darius Smith With Williams in the fold, the Jets struggled at getting to quarterbacks, consistently ranking in the bottom third of the league in sacks. Williams produced 17 of those sacks across five seasons with the team, while Smith almost doubled him by recording 32 after being drafted in the fourth round.

After signing a four-year, $66 million contract with the Green Bay Packers last offseason, the former Wildcat managed a career-high 13.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 37 QB hits, 55 combined tackles, and one forced fumble this past season. Smith's college teammate, Bud Dupree, wasn't far behind on the redraft, coming in at No. 13 overall to the New Orleans Saints. He was originally selected with the No. 22 pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

13. New Orleans Saints

Original pick: Andrus Peat New pick: Bud Dupree Peat was a strong pick, as he's developed into a two-time Pro Bowler. But we think the Saints would opt for an athletic outside linebacker who's recorded 31.5 sacks in his first five years.

This past season, Dupree managed a career-high 11.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, 68 combined tackles, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. Not too shabby. (The Score)
