CFL.caMock Draft 1.0: Who will Ottawa take first overall? - CFL.caCFL.ca’s Marshall Ferguson projects the first two rounds of the 2026 CFL Draft following the CFL Combine presented by Anytime Fitness Canada.Another mock to mock. Not sure about the rest of you but I'm desperate for some CFL news

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Our new Mayor Jeremy Farkas was dead set against the new arena now under construction during a divisive arena debate ten years ago says he's open to the idea of a new stadium for the Stamps. To be located on the Stampede grounds where the present Saddledome is at now after its torn down. Apparently, there have been preliminary talks with CSEC. So, maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. This could take years so I'm not holding my breath that this happens in my lifetime. But if they hurry up, maybe Noeller will be alive when its built cuz he's getting older as well. Amazing how a person can change once they become Mayor.

I can’t wait for the draft just so this thread can divert from Taylor ******* Elgersma already. Man it’s slow offseason.

Elgersma bad, fan opinion good.

Bluto has two brothers?

iirc this is wallace’s last year on his rookie deal. I would be open to moving wallace, but only for a younger equally high upside ni ol who will be under control for a while. Well that or a qb but i don’t think there is a qb on the market to make that deal. Vaccaro and henning are extremely high upside guys available. I hope that we grab one of those two.

If I'm Walters, I'm not trading Wallace. We seem to lose our OL after their rookie contracts run out. We need to stock up.

I think it was someone we drafted. Not sure though. Wonder what the thoughts of others are on him. Anyone?

Insert previous OC under the bus?

we should sign him if we can to an extension. Compared to other teams we seem very reluctant to sign players to extensions other that Zac and Id much rather sign a young player with potential than someone on the down side of his career.. If we cant sign him then trading him for a high draft pick to select a replacement would be smart

You are part of the problem.

The NHL needs to get rid of no movement clauses. It doesn't really exist in other pro leagues.

4 Sask wins in 39 years... that's a wet dream for Rider fans!

I think it makes sense for both parties to wait on an extension. Next season the Bombers a losing some salary along that line, its very likely Neuf and Stanley are done for 2027, Eli is a guess imo, especially if they were able to draft a couple strong rookies. If Wallace continues to improve, you have the $$ to lock him up. If he doesnt improve, you can set his $$ at a better number. Its a risk either way, but I dont see the harm in waiting.

This would be a great time to give him a pay bump and lock him in for another 2 years or even more. but it would make more sense for him to bet on himself and play it out. especially if he has a strong camp

I like the Vaccaro pick for us and the OL future's pick. Not sure about that WR due to the reasons @wbbfan stated.

So what is this place going to talk about when Elgerwhateverhisnameawa joins the club and then gets immediately cut as TCF? I have never seen so much conversation about someone who has done absolutely nothing.

If Elgersma wants to tilt at windmills, let him.

I am skeptical about Calgary. Attendance dropped while the team was good. This city is a bunch of fair weather fans.

Yet, wasn't good enough for Team Canada.

Elgersma's agents as well as the wee lad himself obviously think they are too good for the Bombers & the CFL. With that kind of thinking by the kid's entourage what could possibly go wrong? Just one effed up football career. If Elgersma doesn't play in the UFL but continues to try out for NFL teams instead of coming here then it'll be time to trade the hoser's rights away to some other suck..... errrr..... CFL team.

And yet all I ever read about Coach Buck was that they all worked together... The entire QB room plus Buck... To design the playbook. So that seems an odd quote...

My key point is that this year is his best shot at getting the team to commit to some development runway. If he doesn't come North this year, we cannot wait around and must pivot away from him IF we have a better candidate to develop.

If I was guessing, it'll be a fight in camp between Terry Wilson and the UFL MVP guy for the QB2 spot...

He went offside like 4 times in a preseason game because he couldn't time his waggle at all. He was cut. You don't have a big window as a rookie. This isn't coaching failure at all. His inability to take a running start cost him a CFL career. Edmonton tried him to give him more time to adjust and they also gave up. This is just one of those things where you get a really talented guy but if he can't wrap his head around the differences in our game then you move on from him, Not a coaching failure in any way. If he had lit up the preseason and outperformed anyone, then your point is valid, but he didn't.

weird thing to get your panties in a bunch over...a guy who did nothing in any league. But it's somehow the coaches fault he isn't a bomber? ok....

Osh trolling mbb.

Rourke also played prep ball before College too...Elgersma again did not....He heeds pro experience whether it 3 down...4 down....Trying to find random workouts...with zero pay for going there and out of pocket expense is just an exercise in stupidity now....His window was last yr...and nobody took the risk....and it wont get any better in terms of opportunity until he gets some solid pro film....and it wont be in the NFL and even the crappy UFL he behind the 8 ball there too....If he shows he good enough up in Canada....this "lack of 4 down" experience is moot....If he has it in the brain department, and has elite skills...he'll figure it out...Maybe the knock on him down south is looks the part...good arm....just doesnt have it upstairs to process what's going on...and I believe this is the case and they just were nice in saying he "lacked 4 down experience"....cause that lil tidbit is almost kinda funny in my opinion, and based on experience working with athletes...Of u got it...u got it...and NFL talent evaluators will see it...and get it outta ya....He has had success at CIS level...Like i said before...big effin deal....he may not even be able to translate that and process it at the CFL level to even be a fraction of what Rourke is His representation is doing him no favours and wasting a ton of valuable time....and even if he sucks it up and accepts the reality and gets up here...I dont see a quick path for him to being a starter here either for a few yrs...of at all.....But he has the potential to be that....but he also has to be here to realize it....and if he has a yr like Rourke was having before he got hurt...he will get some more feelers....until that happens....not a chance 2 yrs into no pay....and no real experience/development/game film.....he's just flat out winning lol

55 should be in mvp conversations if jets get in. No joke. Dudes been beast mode day 1 and hasn’t stopped. How he didn’t make team Canada is truly beyond me.

I mean. Why. He’s a good coach actually. I mean dude coaches team USA a few years ago. I don’t have issues with torts. He’s refreshing. Vegas tho is a **** show. He’s politically incorrect and the world needs more of that. Guys like Blake wheeler said he loved playing for torts when he coached team USA so who knows. I think he just expects players to work hard and if they don’t he’s pissed. His issue is more media than anything. The media ask dumb questions. Him and Friesen would be fun in reality. He’d put old Paul in his place.

since we don't really have a thread for broadcasters I figured it should go in here

Thats if Wallace wants to stay here , he may have desires to go back closer to home. If were gonna lose him as has been the case with Dobson, Desjarlais, even as far back as Couture . then maybe we need to explore trade options. Other wise were just developing him for some one else.

Elgersma listed as inactive unsurprisingly. Has missed 20% of the UFL season waiting for his visa.

You can't win a cup with one line and a sometimes great goalie... It's truly impressive what Conner and Scheif have done pretty much by themselves.

Elgersma watch continues. Depth chart for Week two has him at QB2 and Hiers at QB3. No news of his visa status or what happened to the QB the Stallions signed for Week 1. Is he actually allowed to play or is UFL being bush League and not checking things against real life? I guess we'll find out Sunday

Kind of hard to do well when Winnipeg is the least desired city that players want to play in by a large margin. This is why we have to always settle for older over the hill free agents and "hope" that they can reclaim some success from the past.

You're right about that.

Buck designed his own, and borrowed heavily from Lapo, when he was OC. The room working together during the season is not the same thing. That is tweaking the already existing playbook according to what the QBs have experienced once the playbook is in use. Same thing will happen once Condell implements his playbook. They work on progressions and tweaks according to the personnel that actually make the team. Structure, formations, and some progression design is usually by way of the offensive coaching staff.

It might be time for the opposite of Chuck Norris jokes...

Who?

Scheif gonna hit 100 points easily. 3 point night again. Dudes in beast mode since day 1 and hasn’t stopped.

Or Jackson wasn’t good 4 ******* years ago when he was here? I mean sometimes it’s that simple. The fact most ppl prob don’t remember the name means he didn’t stand out. 4 years later.

What about Powell screams 7-8 year starter? He had a fairly unremarkable rookie season. Did well in the one game in 2024 before leaving the field in an ambulance due to a concussion and has thrown 12 passes since.
