It's quite interesting Hansen gives his contest winner a chance to play with you guys. That has to be quite the thrill for them. The guy a couple years ago almost won the league. That would be something to brag about.

I know you want that big screen this year. Getting Rhodes so late has to have you quite excited.

Do you think he can keep the job all year? I am not sold on Addai like others. You?

In a DC draft, do you think it's crazy taking 2 top flight TE's early?

I'm not sold on Addai being the full-time guy either. I wrote something on our Web site a few weeks ago comparing Rhodes to Mike Anderson. I'm not saying Rhodes will be that good but in terms of being a veteran who people keep overlooking as they focus on the more heavily hyped younger "talent" I think the comparision is on the mark. I think Rhodes is going to be better than a lot of people think.

I can't think of any draft where I'd want to take 2 TEs early but that's just me.

Have a great day everyone. Parental duties are calling. Don't the kids know it's fantasy time!

Tom, do you see Kerry Collins going anywhere soon or will it be a wait-and-see who goes down first? Also in the mocks we've been seeing Edge dropping down to the 8-10 range. Your thoughts?

TK - do you feel that what happened with Big Ben will have any ill effects on the skill position players in Pitt including the QB himself?...SNAKE It could. But that is a run-first offense so if Roethlisberger struggles early it won't affect too many people other than Ward. I think Miller's a bit over-rated to be honest. I do like Wilson as a sleeper pick, though.

Collins could end up in Tennessee. What's odd is while he isn't great by any means he's better than a lot of current starting QBs. The fascination some teams have with poor QBs **coughRexGrossmancough** never ceases to amaze me.

I think it's tough to rank Edge any higher than 6th which is where he have them. And if I felt a lot better about the guys behind him I'd move him to the 8-10 range but I don't. I do think Edge's production drops off but I think he'll still get enough touches and generate enough yardage to be no worse than a decent RB1. As far as how many TDs he'll score well ...

Just wondering, Tom, as I had fun getting him and Peyton in the #10 spot the other night in a mock. Grabbed Willie Parker coming back in the 3rd which I don't see happening 2 months from now either.
