We've all suffered, can we please not regurgitate past regimes???....Forward ho!

No, it would seem he's suggesting Walters had a pretty good offseason.  And if you take the 6 players listed and compare them with the 6 players they will replace on the roster, this team has had some serious upgrading done to it.
 
Now if your counter to that is the Riders once also had a pretty good offseason, uh, yeah, okay...

Even if you play for a team owned by Braley?

Now that the great and powerful Wally Buono has justified this selection, I am happy with it! 

Sounds like Kyle owes Duane Forde a doughnut.  Also - how pissed off is Wally right now?  He had this kid in the bag and Forde totally screwed it up for him.

I'd agree it's too soon to tell how the signings will pay off.  But Walters has brought in more Canadians then any GM in recent history for the Bombers.  To that I say well done Kyle!  Of course he wouldn't have to bring in all these Canadians if the last two clowns had a hot clue on how to properly draft and retain Canadians....

woohoo!! Our tremendous sucking paid off! In your face Buffalo Sabres!

It's nice to be fighting about who fits where instead of what player we should pick off the scrap heap to fill a role.

Hey! I watched half of a TSN special that had something to do with the cfl or the draft or something. I'm an expert

It's amazing how some people who don't follow the CIS suggest certain people should be drafted ahead of others

Do you really think that many of us care about what one anonymous internet posters thinks about the credentials of another anonymous internet poster.  Because if you do, stand by for disappointment.  Most of us here, as far as I can tell,  just want to talk Bombers and have a little fun while doing it, and try to keep the douchebag quotient as low as possible.  So maybe you should not worry about what we think about others because you might have other things that should concern you more.

You've got chum in your mouth?

Sitting on the couch listening to Benevides say with Chungh and Picard together there is going to be snot bubbles, I just about had snot bubbles myself. The bombers have needed a bubble machine O line for a long time. 

I know everyone looks good in a highlight reel but this guy did not go down on first contact and could pull away from defenders. He shed blocks on special teams and drove that one guy way back on return. Laval is not a bad place to pick up players either. Draft time is one of those times for optimism. There will be plenty of time for despair later.

Richards might be "raw" but he caught over 100 balls over the last two seasons after spending a couple years as a backup receiver in Regina.  Anyone comparing him to Jade Etienne (who caught about 30 passes in 2 years after being converted from a kicker) is way out of their element.
 
Does this guy look like Jade Etienne???

Based on what?  Name recognition?
 
I'll hazard a guess that there wasn't a moment last night where Walters said "Not that guy, his talent level is too high".
 
The problem every year is people form strong opinions on players they know next to nothing about, based almost entirely on a Duane Forde column, and then spend 2 months shaping his thought-farts into fools gold.
 
Did Walters evaluate the players correctly?  We won't know for a while, but I have no problems with his evaluations being different from Forde's.  They'd better be, otherwise anyone could do his job.  Walters did not do what I expected, but I also have enough sense to know my expectations aren't based on much of anything other than being part of a fan site.

Unhappy.
 
Walters should of taken only the sure things and can't misses.....instead of forcing us to speculate and analyze this draft over the next couple of years, to fully evaluate it....

I predict snow between now and December. I expect accolades when I'm proven correct. Mark my words.

Don't worry, much more of this and you're going to get all the credit and acknowledgment you desire.
Just don't be surprised when it's not the kind you were looking for.
You know that saying, "when you keep running into the same problem over and over, maybe you're the problem"?
That's you. There's a reason almost every single regular poster here has taken issue with something you've said at one point or another. Take a look around man.

You're right about O'Shea being the ideal Mike.
Wouldn't be great if Hurl could be the ideal Sam?

Can.  But won't.
