It worked out pretty well for us when we selected Simonise who had been out of competitive football for a period of time and it worked out great the Loffler who had major injury concerns. The key is developing the Canadian talent well and accumulating additional picks so you can roll the dice one some picks which could pan out really well. Not sure about Edmonton's draft. I feel like their cupboards are already bare and they drafted Betts who "might" never play in the CFL and an offensive lineman who only projects as a tackle in the CFL. The odds are against any one player who's brought to the CFL as a tackle to end up being good enough. Seems pretty risky to me.

Yeah... I mean the quality of Canadian brought in by this team rivals the american talent at times. Which to me is just crazy. Most of the good americans on these team were free agents or trades.

He finds more quality players in the Canadian Draft than our American scouting department does.

By the time wilkenson can hold 310 pounds on his frame the cfl will only have 5 Canadian starters.

I imagine he fell over lack of weight. He’s listed at 270.

With that 40 yard time I don’t see him being anywhere else.

Since when are we not thrilled when Winnipeg drafts a local player?

Not wrong. Surprised he’s still on the board.

Well. The guy we just drafted is a center and gonna be good pretty quickly. Couture may not have the size for any position other than center and he isn’t even a natural center.

Will somebody remind Hamilton that the regional portion of the draft hasn’t started yet.

I’m certainly not going to complain if it happens. Don’t get me wrong. Looks like couture won’t be a starter for long if at all.

I’d be surprised if he’s on the board at that point. But I’m not sure another offensive lineman makes sense at this point. How many can you actually carry. We’d be drafting a guy to sit on the dev roster until Neufeld gets carted off I guess.

Argos seemed more focused on drafting a player who would agree to a 3 year deal than drafting the best talent.

I wonder if Simba will end up being a lion?

Ungerer. I’d pick him based on name alone.

Makes sense they picked kongbo if they don’t budget for 2 first round picks. He will get 6 gamed which will mean only 2/3 of his salary counts against the cap.

In all likelihood Montreal would be the team most interested in something like that. Given they have 3 seconds and zero firsts.

I can’t handle the idea that the cfl’s issues run deeper than Montreal and Toronto right now. Mike Reilly could really help attendance in BC.

That’s way better odds than any undrafted rookie gets. And why had that been?

Does the fact that the mood was productive not prove that steps taken by the league and the players to up the intensity were justified?

By my count after the guys they released and the one they added Winnipeg is currently sitting at 68 so I would expect a bunch more names will and can be added soon.

Bombers actually made 12 cuts in total. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/04/29/bombers-add-receiver-josh-stewart-release-12-players/

Bombers have also released WR Evan Clarke, WR Dominique Williams, and RB Jalen Simmons.

Bombers have inked WR Josh Steward who is in mini-camp and played a few games in the AAF. He's 6'4 204 pounds.

A billionaire owner in the CFL works pretty well because any losses are like a drop in a bucket for them while they work on turning things around. Plus they have pro sports experience. Seems like an ideal situation for Montreal.
