3DownNationEdmonton Elks, Winnipeg Blue Bombers awarded extra picks...The Edmonton Elks and Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been awarded extra picks in the 2026 CFL Draft, the league office has confirmed to 3DownNation. Each year,Bombers get an extra pick at 20. Not sure if any other picks have moved but that would put the Bombers at 4, 13, 20, 24 for the first three rounds.

So I checked NFL.com for a list of the invitees to their combine. As expected Elgersma isn’t even listed. I hate to use the term but his throwing for WRs is a real Hail Mary. Just wish he’d acknowledge reality and get his CFL career started.

We have last year's UFL MVP coming to camp, that's how much lighting it up in the UFL is worth.

It would take a lot of injuries. There are a crap load of former 2nd, 3rd, and PR QBs currently out of work that would get the call ahead of him. Heck last year the NFL even pulled Rivers out of retirement before they would look down their depth charts and FA's. Injuries is not a viable way into the NFL for Elgersma.

Elgersma will be here eventually. You guys are getting panicked about nothing. Best thing that could happen for us is that he gets another NFL camp to develop.

Jackson Jeffcoat was not chopped liver either

We need to find another Philip Hunt and even Tom Canada. Used to bring tons of strong DE and DL in but guess schemes changed? I dunno but hopefully a few of these guys step up and take jobs. as for Elgersma, his US agent is a moron.

I really don't mind if we reach with the extra pick IF it's for a guy that is a bubble NFLer. If we have to wait a year or two I'm OK with that.

An extra pick, what STer is Walters eyeing?

it’s not an official combine invite thing, it’s an extra combine arm to be used as needed. If some one pulls out of throwing, gets hurt, or they need extra tosses and don’t want to over work guys. A decent few qbs these days elect not to throw at the combine. Instead throwing in friendly confines to guys they know and can rely on. But this generally isn’t known until right before the combine or during. So you can end up in a position where you need a couple extra arms to do a full work out just to keep the wrs busy. It is not like he’s going to have his performance graded and considered with draft prospects. It’s the most basic level of exposure to the nfl scouts you can get. It doesn’t hurt him to take it, but he also isn’t riding it any place. It’ll still be if he can get reps in the ufl and the weight of the partial pre season game he had, that decides if he gets an invite to camp with some one. Or if there’s a mad rash of qb injuries.

Bombers signed this guy.

Always room for Canadian linebackers.

Vega wasn't a great pass rusher but he did a lot of the other things really well. Yea...his career was way too short.

I thought Jenkins and Jaworski showed a lot of promise in their brief appearance last year. People also underestimate Lawton He's more than decent - especially if he has some good linemen beside him You know Ceresna is going to draw some double teams allowing other dl to shine Am looking forward to seeing this group play

Jason Vega too until chronic injuries derailed him...actually was just chatting with him yesterday, looks like he could still play...pretty sure he not even 40 yet thing is...even in that crap league he gonna be buried behind guys with U.S ball experience...Dude is just flailing at things now and is getting horrible guidance from his management team

Throw up emoji.

Walters yeah....but is the guy who just luvs his canucks also going over the talent ....I just hope we don't look at it as a 'throw away' pick like we did last year....We need all the help we can get NOW...I believe Elgersma was that pick in 25' ....just sayin'

Bailey likely slides into the rotation for sure. Not sure he is a FT DE starter but will probably be a nice complimentary piece to our DL.

yeah he was very assignment sound and the perfect compliment kind of guy Lawson is real good...And this yr with actually help not named Thomas beside him gonna eat...He was I believe one of...if not the top Inside guys in terms of pressures and collapsing the pocket league wide for Canadian DT's Another totally under radar guy is Bailey who likely gets a roster spot this yr as rotation....the more reps he gets he gonna pop off the page alot..He has a real good combo of speed and power....Looking forward to his progression this yr

Helle receiving the presidential medal of freedom from Trump lol.

I liked Jenkins every bit as much as Jaworski in that one game. High hopes for both...

Football Gods if you’re listening please do keep him (and everyone else) healthy and motivated to ensure getting thru an 18 game schedule including 2-3 playoff games. Much appreciated.

Yeah he has an intruigin skill set and appears like he could be multi faceted..some inside stuff with 3 ends and Ceresna...I could see him also off the edge as a jack type on 3 man fronts and at times dropping into the low flats..
