Tom,

Do you like Cheese, Pepperoni, sausage, meatball, chicken, eggplant, pineapple, onions, garlic on your Pizza in NY? Hmmm, I'm not much for exotic stuff so we'll skip the eggplant and pineapple. I'm not a big onions guy. The rest could work.

Last spring for the NFBC I went to John's pizza place. I saw it on the Travel Channel as one of the best pizza joints in the country and they were right. Great place; excellent pizza. [/QUOTE]I'll look it up...Where were they? I'll have them deliver a pizza pie to you on Friday, after the 1PM drafts.

What's up with Engram? Is he going to play, or is he still whining about his contract? The guy is their #1 WR, but he may not even show up. Any new news? He's been practicing. So things are looking fine there. I'm not worried about him and I think he remains a very nice value pick in drafts.

As far as Johns, I don't know the address offhand. But it's a pretty famous place. Great pizza.

tom, a couple questions:
1. when looking at this year's TE crop, do you think it's a good idea to get a top one in rounds 3-4 or to wait a while and grab a solid one in rounds 7-8?
2. there seems to be a bit of a top 8 when looking at the content panel (jackson, addai, AP, LT, Gore, Brady, Moss, Westbrook). If that group is gone, who would you take 9th in an NFBC draft?
3. would you take Bush over a WR like Housh, C. Johnson in the middle or late in round 2?

Here's a tough one....Berrian or Kevin Walter?

I think both have big play potential. They're different types of WR's, but they can both be productive if their QB's can produce. T.Jackson doesn't look very good, and Shaub can't stay healthy, so who would you go with here as your WR4?

[/QUOTE]I don't care for the pineapple either, but I don't know what people outside NY eat, so I had to put it out there for Tom. I try and give him some good NY food each year, so he doesn't go home only eating NY HOTEL food...Which ISN'T NY food.

3. would you take Bush over a WR like Housh, C. Johnson in the middle or late in round 2? 1. It depends on how the draft is going. If the talent thins out at RB and/or WR, then I think taking a TE early is worth it. Otherwise, I'd prefer to wait.

2. Ryan Grant or Marshawn Lynch. I think both of those guys have strong Top 10 potential. If Rodgers stinks the joint up, I'd give Lynch the nod. If Rodgers looks like the real deal, then I'd go with Grant.

3. That's a very good question. I probably would if I was confident I could get a good WR in the third. In fact, I've done that in a couple of drafts already (those were full PPR drafts, though). Given Bush's potential to catch 80-90 passes, I think that's huge value as a RB2. With 3RR, though, I think you need to be sure you're going to get a good WR at the end of the third. But it would be very tough for me to pass on Bush as a RB2 at that spot of the draft.

He'll be the lead WR in Minnesota whereas Walter will be the No. 3 option behind Johnson and Daniels. I like Walter a lot, though, and think he's a very good reserve option.

I don't eat NY Hotel food all that often. I make it a point to get out and sample the good stuff.
