I actually heard, he specifically dislikes SpeedFlex27 and that's why he's not in the CFL.

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.

Please just let something else interesting happen so this board can move on from this topic

Why are you knocking a future hall of famer?

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.

Yeah but what do people think he should be doing with his life? We should fill a 3rd thread with comments about him just to be sure

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.

Yes, there has been a serious lack of talk about what Jake had for breakfast lately.

I will say again, too many people have entirely too much thought invested in a guy who is at best a prospect. When he actually shows up the ln let's start investing time and effort into thinking of him, until then he really is a non-factor.

Yeah the NFL generally doesnt employ Osh type coaches who fall into that trap....and if they have a coach who does he is quickly kicked to the curb Elgersma on his last gasp, and being a camp arm at that combine is hardly a gasp...If he was smart he would immediately after it is done, sign up here and start his ELC clock and get on with his best chance for a sustained career

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 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.

Live shot of me waiting for @SpeedFlex27 to react:

So apparently former Bomber WR Chris Brazell has a son, Chris Brazell II, who is an NFL prospect.

Okay, maybe saying he "**** on the CFL" bordered on the ridiculousl. For that, I was wrong. I absolutely agree with your take, though The CFL is a league that just doesn't get why it isn't even mentiobned in a Toronto fan poll. The coaches & admin cap along with the rookie salary cap have to go. Why three years for Canadians & just two for Americans? These rules are strangling the CFL & not allowing for any kind of growth to take place. It also makes the CFL look bush league. Especially in Toronto, Calgary & Edmonton where fan support is apathetic. No exponential growth will happen until the league & the new Commish fix these meat & potato issues.

What the hell are you talking about. He hasn't said anything negative about the CFL. He's just trying to land a spot down south.

Way-too-Early AMSOIL Power Rankings: Who sits at the top? - CFL.ca Lol. Edmoton? Really?

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?

Over the last 10 years not one QB invited as a combine arm has been in an NFL training camp the same year.

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.

How do MBT ancestors feel about Winnipeg?

mbt, I think evans, couple guys in the same tier. I think it comes down to who takes a cheap deal first. That whole tier is a mixed bag with comparable value imo. Mbt is whacko, and I think his propensity to speak controversially to the media would hurt his chances here. Plus the fact we had him at his youngest and washed him out quickly. Tbh, I expect mbt to retire or maybe go to the ufl. But any one of the meh tier veterans would be fine by me.

I assume you were repping our colors. :)

Pretty classic game for the Jets this season… and why they’re on the outside looking in. But without 2 of their top D men, it certainly wasn’t a bad showing against a good team. I was at the game and it was pretty hilarious how ignorant that fan base is. Not shocking, but still…. I’ve never heard so many ‘refs you suck’ chants. After some really obvious calls/non calls. They really have no idea what the rules are. And the constant ‘USA’ chants were pretty damn annoying too.

No matter what the cap is, or exemptions there is no way a cfl team can compete with the nfl financially. It would just drive up payrolls

als cut james morgan right before his 30th birthday. if he wants it he will probably get another cfl camp from some one as the last arm/ extra arm. Hes got a great arm, decent release and he’s still got tons of upside. Almost no chance of fulfilling it though. He’s more of a pitcher than a qb. And qbs who get to the pros with out any touch or accuracy basically never pan out. Maybe a team thinks their qb coach can finally fix his mechanics and bring finesse into his game. Or maybe a team will just want that wild, raw arm talent in camp for depth defenders and wrs to work with/against.

Where can I pick up my refund for the time I wasted reading this?

who really effin care's about a Canadian QB....like really....People need to care more about "legit" Canadian stars who are getting it done...for succesive yrs....Guys like BO...Demski...just on the Bombers alone....Skilled position guys...Valuable to a team's success guys...Why do people get fixated on a QB all the time....it's pointless and never gonna happen Rourke is Canadian by birth only not by training and how/where he developed.....Ford...Yeah was all everything in the CIS...And hot assed garbage in the pros' and history and all likelyhood Elgersma will be too...He got the look he did, based soley on his body type as it fit what used to be the dream MFL stereotype, and even that is changing now and U.S trained and born guys like him are not the sure thing they used to be

This is what I'm talking about.... dude's trying to land in the NFL... he's deluded probably at this point but by god he's going to try. Doesn't mean he's shitting all over the cfl and christ chances are he never amounts to anything in the cfl either. So why waste all this energy on a guy like that

Total Trash and Edmonton is a LOL. Hamilton too.

he def has a pretty high value of himself.....why who knows...guess you got to like his belief...but cmon dude....Look at things realistically

The thing is that you can only keep so many guys on the roster and futures can definitely be helpful sometimes when roster spots are limited. Is a 3rd rounder likely to come in and beat out any of your incumbents? That's the question you ask, if not then a futures pick can be the smart pick at that position. Lots goes into the equation, whats our roster makeup currently, what is our projection for our 2nd and 3rd year NATs? How deep is the draft? One shouldn't think that Elgersma is a flyer either. He is a guy chasing a dream that is going to end up here. A NAT QB with a high ceiling and a high probability of being in the CFL sooner rather than later is NOT a flyer. So, in short I agree with your assessment that rounds 3-4 you go realistic fliers, and then hail marys after that IF the draft is not deep or you don't want to draft someone just to have to release someone of equal talent already on your roster.

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.

We got Jake to teach them now

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..

Having Ceresna will certainly help in the disruption department. If two of our rookie DE's can show they are ready for a starter/rotational roles that would be very helpful as well. I really like what Jaworski did in his only showing last year. He is the guy I will be very interested in watching in TC. That probably gives him the kiss of death, but so be it.

Yep. I love what jy and hall, but that is pretty much the only stretch of time we had that consistent disruption/pressure. Haven’t had great personnel on the dl over that time, but we also haven’t developed or made use of guys in that time. I hope hall and thomas focus on the dl and disruption while jy runs coverage. we’ve seen hall run some brilliant front concepts when he’s had the horses.
