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.

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

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.

I'm rooting for Streveler, he has a mental and physical toughness unlike many. IF he is used as s real QB and not a gimmick I honestly do believe he can be a true starting caliber QB in the CFL. I could be wrong but, with his attributes, experiences, and the stage of his life he is in combined with how hard he has rehabbed, I would be very surprised if he gets beat out for number 2.........but if he does then I will be very happy as the guy who beats him would IMO be a real stud QB!

Not a chance.

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.

Yeah....smart move is to have one new guy on the PR but I'd be shocked if Our 3 to start are not Collaros...Streveler and Wilson Strev being on a 1 yr deal...ZC on his last yr...and in my opinion last legs as a legit guy to tie your wagon to past this seaon I would assume Strev gets a lot of opportunity and packages to prove he can be the guy moving forward...and rightfully so....Has experience...has shown he can win games (If used as a QB) and has leadership and respect of the room...Wilson is right now in the Dru Brown scenario developing and has in my opinion more upside and a better skill-set...In his rookie season you could see the poise and pocket presence...the arm....and is more mobile....Looked way more adbanced and polished than Dru looked....so not forcing him....and letting him develop and learn another yr running short yardage is the right/smart move. Big E obviously is a work in progress/project...and rightly so...there is a reason why you rarely see a Canadian QB step in right away and look legit who hasn't been playing 3..4 yrs of College ball in the U.S as well in most cases U.S Prep school even before that....just aint happening as they so far beneath the curve right outta school it's not even close Before anyone throws out Ford as an example...he basically did diddly other than some sandlot stuff that had a bit of success...but isnt sustainable and jury is out if he can even ever advance past that....the film we have seen as a true QB is pretty suspect and he looked way out of his comfort zone...Big yr for him to see if he develops/advances...or even maintains the starters gig

Wilson is easily as solid in qb3 as Strev is at qb2. I don’t care for either. Glad one is gone. One more to go.

Both of those guys are near useless and were barely camp arms. This year is indeed the Strev and Collaros Show, and while the 3rd spot MIGHT be open, Wilson certainly has a leg up if for no other reason than he's been here awhile, has played some, and be pretty much plug n play this year (with the caveat that it's a new OC with a slightly different playbook)

It's actually interesting to me he was still picked that high. Because now he's out of football for a year before he gets to come in to the CFL camp. He's not going to have any opportunity aside from training himself to develop as a football player. Have to kind of hope he keeps his head in.

Great example of what the GMs/coaches know and what we don't know.

Edmonton Elks' DL Darien Newell tests positive for banned substances, ineligible to sign CFL contract for one year - 3DownNation

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.

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?

CFL Draft tomorrow … really curious if we find a way to take Findlay (probably at 6) or Beauchemin in the first couple rounds. Makes sense for us. Would like to walk away with one of those two and a couple trench bodies after two rounds.

Old fashioned, plain. And that's only if I'm not a farmer's wrap. Suitor would be sour cream and onion...green pringles container Kate...well played... Matty...has no equal in the Timbit world...but pour the man some more of whatever his poison is Lapo...the apple fritter...frittering the game away @17to85 you're welcome Milt....old fashioned glaze...with pristine magnifying glass inspected glaze BLM...any of the limited time temporary varieties...that are actually good and you wonder why they don't stay? Rod Black...anything sticky

I hear negotiations are already underway to bring Shedur to Saskatchewan with Deion as coach. The team will be renamed the Saskatchewan Prime Times.

We need a few Ehler's laser beams - top corner.

Ayomanor tumbling down draft boards means he may get picked Monday after all

Another 2 day break? The NHL really wants Vilardi and Ehlers back don’t they?
