I think we’re a bit thrown off by what this draft might do to our ratio and I would’ve taken Findlay over Jaylen Smith too but if I really sit down and think about it, the idea of playing Brady, Demski, Clercius, 2 OL and then having two Canadians flying around at all times is something I like the sound of. Kramdi, Shay, Smith has some real signs of versatility written all over it. Can do a lot with that and Lawson in the middle. Truly.

Bombers took Vibert OG South Dakota State in Round 3. Regina kid.

"I can't believe that guy was here for us" "Steal of the draft" "Walters is working his magic" "We took that guy?" "This draft is terrible" "What are we doing today?" I am ready for the draft.

There's tons of DL in this one. I don't believe they'll take one in the first couple rounds unless Newell drops to 6. But there's tons of guys that will be CFL players, both Nose and 3 technique/end tweener types.

It's a thing for sure. I used to watch a lot more tennis than I do now but you'd have the American broadcasts trying to be the entertainment, pushing whatever pre-match story they had concocted... but then you'd get a British or Australian feed and they were just calling the match talking about what was happening not doing all this excessive over the top hard sell. The sport is the entertainment and the reason we like sports is the element of unknown. Don't force a storyline, don't expect the on air people to be the entertainment, let the athletes dictate the story and be the entertainment.

I always found that Laura Diakun did a good job hosting the panel whenever she needed to fill in for Kate. I think she would be a good replacement as long as she keeps doing what she's been doing and not try to change to match what Kate has been doing.

I think the biggest conclusion to draw from today is the Bombers are planning to use 3 American OL without having to start 3 Canadian receivers. They'll be locking in 2 Canadians on D.

Very happy for the Viebert pick!

No he’s a qb. His arm talent is legit.

Dole and Patterson get cut. Pretty simple. The cdn QB is stashed for a year.

Lapo really shat on that Ticats pick LMAO. A guy you're hoping can play 10 plays per game.

Honestly he’s a high floor guy and a high ceiling guy. Great athlete, but also a really good run guy. Feel like we are a great team to develop him too.

Who ever they take will be "surprised he was available, he was at the top of our board"

Shockingly low amount of CFL draft prospects who got NFL UDFA deals. I think only 2 of the DL along with the guys who were drafted. Lots of rookie mini-camp invites but those don't often lead to main camp spots. For a lot of those guys the best path to a real NFL shot will be playing in the CFL. Good news for the CFL. And for the draft, it's pretty wide-open. There's only a handful of guys that are unlikely to be available for CFL camps.

Suitor would be a sour cream. Kate would be a Boston cream filled with axe body spray. Matty would be rum raisin. but most of this forum would be old fashioned.

Welcome to the Elks game tonight. The team is led by the fabulous Ford brothers. One brother creates touchdowns, the other takes them away.

It's not her job to be knowledgeable. It's her job to facilitate discussion from the knowledgeable people. Unfortunately tsn subscribes to the American idea that a panel needs to be the entertainment and clowns are supposedly entertaining

My grandpa was born in 1915. He followed his beloved Leafs in the newspaper and had buddies who'd phone him with score updates. #thosewerethedays

I think it’s pretty simple to decipher … you’ve wanted the guy for a while, bring him in and make him make the decision for you

At the end of the day, put yourself in his shoes. His son just got drafted into the CFL. How proud would you be? I'd dare bet most people here would even cheer for Saskatchewan if their son were drafted by the Riders.

Crazy quick and stout enough to fill in the hole. too.

It is pretty funny the panel talking their crappy picks. Piling on Lapo for drafting Jade Etiene haha Barker saying he got fired for trading for Drew Willy

Tachinski lol then we convert him to lber!

Listening to 5 sweaty men talk about length and girth.

JFC this is the Canadian QB discussion panel not the CFL Draft.

By the time they stop talking about the Rourke pick the whole draft will be over. **** Toronto got Gavin Coakes.

Probably sit on the practice roster if he's not in the NFL. The last 3 and arguably Streveler at this point are all expendable. Like they are fighting to stay in pro football.

Think of how many reps Gauthier has been taking on D over the years, even last year. Nice to have a training camp to get the team ready to play and see how it all fits.

Please...for love of everything holy...keep oday right where he is

"Mike we can't bring back broken old Bighill again this year" "Fine Kyle, but I want Canadian LB (O')Shay in the draft then!"

He already did! Walters was 2 steps ahead of everyone and let Charbonneau go because he knew Shay would fall to us. 🤣

Wow Shay falls to us. We are crazy deep at lber. This guy gonna take a job when he comes up. I wouldn’t have gone lber mid to high but his upside is incredible.

Yeah, no it would not. 5 out of 8 Winnipeg ridings went Liberal and they got 50.2% of the vote in Winnipeg.

Probably targeting DL in the draft then eh?

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2024/8/16/football-punter-evolution-james-evans-rates-among-nations-best-PETE "Last year’s average of 45.8 yards was the best ever by a Hoosier, topping Drew Hagan’s 44.8-yard average in 1999. He had 22 punts of more than 50 yards, with a long of 70. His career average of 43.9 yards is also a school record, better than Alan Sutkowski’s 42.5-yard average from 1995-97."

Don't like giving up Sampson.

First round might be completed by the time the late NHL game starts.

take best player available first pick....load the lines with remaining.....and make it work with the guys going to camp....and pick team same way...best player per position available and make it work with the way you structure ratio/depth....done yup....best guy on board who can actually take reps now as a legit back-up or who can actually push to start or be projected as a starter.....as any pro athlete save for an big ol fatty lineman can play most teams with good coaching

For some reason my interest in the start of the season has ramped up considerably today. I can't quite get my glove on why...

So how much further does shedeur sanders need to slide in the nfl draft before the riders add him to their neg list? 🤣

Full confession, I may apply for a writing job with TSN. New half time interview segment idea: If you were a Timbit, which kind would you be?

I watched it a couple of times. Not for me. Just the same thing over and over. Give me 10 minutes of PLAP explaining something once a week instead.

So very accurate. I feel like online forums really hit with my generation, but the kids today they're all on "the socials". The older generation is still calling in to cjob for their discussion.

Gotta give St. Loo some credit. They are playing us as hard as they can until we inevitable run them out of gas. It's kind of our game plan to wear teams down with our exceptional depth. It's how we are built. Roll 4 lines and just wear teams down until the wheels fall off.

thought I was a heal??...hahahahahaha

The continued belief that we'd use a high pick on a QB just doesn't make any sense to . I get that it's probably one of the best years for Canadian QB's and that's ultra rare and a great story but I just don't see it happening.

True, game day shows need to set a tone and entertain. If any thing have the schtick on that rather than the game day panel. can’t stand Kate. Id love to see some of what lapo has been doing on his yt, and what we’ve seen teased by matty/milt previously. The in depth player / Xs n Os break downs. back in the day score or maybe sportsnet had a show with some cfl guys talking and being regular guys. I remember one with swac playing pool in particular. Can’t stand it idk it’s soo disjointed and repetitive. People seemed to be content 50 dollars paid the rent

Radio? That's fine for you young whippersnappers. I will take my horse and buggy to the game and then read about the team each day in the newspaper that is delivered to my mailbox.
