Gregg's first chat was such a hit we're bringing him back for a sequel. Think of this as Gregg's version of "The Empire Strikes Back." So be here at 2 p.m. EST tomorrow (Friday) and bring some good questions and Gregg will answer them all in the hour he'll be with us.

Tom i will put my questions in now for greg , will be working at 2.oo oclock.
Larry Johnson is all over the board , ive seen him ranked 2nd and saw mr. Ambrosius steal him very late in the second round in a draft. Where do you have LJ.
Ive also seen Santoni Holmes in the late 3rd round and in the 6th round. What do you have Holmes and think he can do or not do this year. thanks Eddie G

Okay, yesterday Gregg participated in the NFL.com Industry Draft, selecting from the 12th spot. Here's his draft and maybe he can give some insight into what it was like drafting from the bottom of the draft without 3RR and some thoughts on players like Jonathan Stewart, Ted Ginn Jr., Kevin Jones and some of his other picks. Gregg started out WR-WR-WR, which was an interesting strategy:

1. Reggie Wayne
2. Andre Johnson
3. Anquan Boldin
4. Ronnie Brown
5. Jonathan Stewart
6. LenDale White
7. Santana Moss
8. Jay Cutler
9. David Garrard
10. Ahmad Bradshaw
11. Tony Scheffler
12. Ted Ginn Jr.
13. Drew Bennett
14. Kevin Jones
15. Chicago D
16. Josh Brown

What are your opinions on the rookie QB's and who do you think has the best chance to make an impact this year with projections if possible (as minimal as that might be)?

Do you think most drafters go overboard for the "Mike Martz effect" for Niners this year?

Even with good health, do you believe Rookie RB's Matt Forte and Kevin Smith could do much more than 900 yds, 35 catches, 7 total td's given their weak Off. Lines?

With their WR corp ailing, will Jags QB Garrard
start slowly?

too many injury prone guys for me to like this team. Looks like your best RB is Bradshaw. Stewart needs to be a force in order for you to win. Not likely with Deangelo looking good.

Alright guys, let me have it. As for that draft, we got extra points for return yardage. And it was a PPR. Honestly we do so many of these drafts ... I thought it was a good spot in the draft (i was picking last) to go real receiver heavy and see how it goes. I thought RB depth would be around and I was right. This is a league where you start 2RB/3WR/Flex. I like starting 4 WRs. The only mistake I felt I made was taking White ahead of Chris Johnson (especially considering return yardage). Taking Ronnie over Jacobs may annoy me in the long run, but we'll see. Ok let's go too it.

And I prefer to think of this chat as Airplane II, not Empire Strikes Back.
