we need to draft guys with potential/ability to take regular snaps and actually push to be a starter...or are a legit back-up and guy we groom...no more of this special team only guys...as its part of the reason why our depth eroded and we had issues fielding healthy guys when it mattered most Depth as in guys on your roster, as opposed to depth in guys who can contribute on offense/defence with minimal to no drop off are 2 different things....and ours for the latter was trash....hence injured guys played over the "everyone is a starter" back-up and our propensity to play lesser talented guys...(Thomas..Schmeck..Hallets..etc) because...essentially our roster was built poorly and was teamer only heavy in depth

Blowin' in the Wind, man. "How many times will the Argo flags fly?"

Couple really good, really athletic big dbs which is a rarity. Bunch of dl with good size d1 pedigree and questionable measurable. Good chuck of athletic tweeners at de/lber. Some good inside dl who I think will translate well but maybe not high upside. A surprising amount of strong athletes at many positions too actually. can’t wait to see what we do either. Hoping for 1-2 ol, 1-2 dl, 1 db, 1 wr, maybe a rb. Maybe grab one of the athletic freaks no matter their position who we like best. We are gonna be very well poised to grab a couple guys who can make the roster this year.

So I'm the only one who listened to Sandcastles in the Sand and cried after each of the last three Grey Cups?

Fred Penner did half time recently and it rocked. Whole stadium singing along to the cat came back.

So you feel he's the next star Canadian WR? Interesting choice, Demski is aging and I like Clercius but he seems more solid Canadian than future superstar (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I'd expect to get 3-4 guys who can play this year. The OL group is probably the deepest since 2019. Talking about guys who will end up in the CFL. There's a **** load of good edge/3 technique guys for DL. Including the BYU guy who has potential to drop into a spot where he'd be a real steal based on how he's turned off the personnel guys in both leagues. There's a ton of very good DB's. There's a solid receiver group, although some guys in both receiver/DB group might get a good look in the NFL. I kind of wonder what other teams are prioritizing. There's a chance for the Bombers in the first round, remembering BC's pick is off the board and added back to the end of the 1st round to Calgary, to grab a real impactful DL, a OL who could play this year, or a starting receiver IMO. Like if I'm Walters and our pick comes around, Ethan Jordan still on the board, don't think I could pass on him. That guy is a star.

Old man moment, I know some of those bands. I'm more with it than I thought.

I wonder if they bring back Bret MacDougall for his 3rd TC with the Bombers, 6'-3" 205 lb DB that returned to Windsor Lancers the last 2 seasons, good size and he's still only 23. https://golancers.ca/sports/football/roster/breton-macdougall/8503

We definitely need to get an OL that is capable of being a 6th. After that quality depth would be acceptable.

Should have been the happiest day of your life

With the "weaker" o-line group and some really athletic guys across multiple positions I am curious to see who/what is available to us with our first couple picks. Depending on our draft board, we may be able to get one or two of our top o-line choices. I really feel we need to draft a couple guys along the o-line, being considered a "weaker" class this may be a tall task, but after Wallace our pipeline is pretty dry.......... Outside of o-line I think we can look at best athlete

The Priestley, Brandon, MB. highway #1 location.

They'd be Hamilton's only GC representation this millenium.

Except this time it'll be "the Thomas came back." I'm leaving now.

I feel like drake would be some what divisive due to the Kendrick Lamar stuff but that might put him into a more gettable spot. I’m not a drake fan but I think he’d be a lot better than what we are likely to get. That’d be great. Maybe make him a master of ceremonies type deal. His chops on the mic are fantastic he could do a lot to drum up hype. I feel dummies might be too niche. One hit wonder from what 25 years ago? Great guys though. I thought about young, I doubt he’d do it. Personally I’d love that though. Headstones will always be my no1 pick lol. I wonder if they go back to the guess who well again?

Certainly, and imagine the upper-level talent we could've hit on after the 19 gc if we hadn't focused on high floor, ceiling teams guys? Especially since many of those guys didn't get much of a look even with in their niche. Wouldn't be surprised. Also don't particularly have any expectations for him.

They have yet to change what "it" is, apparently, at least when it comes to rock.

it's hurt our depth....guys who can play legit reps...can also play teams....and some better than these teams only guys we got so fixated on

I don't know that it's weaker, I think we don't have those top tier stars, but I think the 2nd and 3rd tier have a lot of depth. It's the kind of OL draft that your scouts earn their money on IMO. You're only gonna take 1, maybe 2 guys for each team, every single team needs to hit an OL. A few teams are going to. I hope we are one of them. Yeah, we need it for sure. I agree, I don't think we are locked in to other positions. We don't really have a huge need other wise. PBA / best projectable athlete picks should be our method. But you never know with us. Dl, DB, OL are what I see a lot of value in this draft, that also fits our system. Yeah, we don't need high floor no ceiling guys. We don't need to be drafting for teams with out the ability to take positional snaps with improvement. That is a good point. Maybe our biggest need with NI talent, is guys who can push filler off the roster. I think Canadian depth will be a really good scrap in TC, if they are given the chance to take jobs.

Just took a peek at the Canadian rock charts to see what the kids are listening to these days. Turns out they are listening to literally the exact same bands that I was. https://ca.billboard.com/charts/canada-mainstream-rock That is simultaneously comforting and depressing. It likely means kids aren't listening to rock at all.

It's good enough for Luc Robitaille, it's good enough for me....

Very curious to see what we do in the draft. Reports are that there are a lot of good DBs in this draft and that would be a nice place to add.

Week to week is long term now?

Really hope we get a big concert for half time that isn’t some country fried hick stuff.
