Harris, Nuefeld, Chung, Goosen, NI Receiver, Ekakatie/Thomas, Loffler....  That's 7.

Between our kicker and our backup qb we might really be short changing our starting lineup.  But I personally feel it is worth it.

I'm thinking in terms of how much athleticism they have at this stage of their careers. But yah the smart money is on Durant.  If JS shows enough promise maybe we just let him sit for a year as the third stringer. 

Josh Straughan has upside in this role as well.

I'm very happy with this move. You want to be in a situation where you're fully confident in your backup qb so you don't feel pressured to play a taped together Nichols out of desperation. I have confidence in Durant playing under Lapo with his all time favorite target in the receiving core. My only disappointment is we likely will have to go with a cheap 3rd string QB as a result. I really liked the work that Dan LeFevour did in short yardage last season.   It's likely only a matter of time before Dom Davis is released. Feel bad for the guy but you know... it's a business.

Backups only get so many oppportunities & have to shine or at least show signs of progress when they do see the field. Davis never showed that. Probably time to move on.

The majority here had spoken.  Nothing anyone can do now. 

But if it comes down to either having Bond on the O-line with Hurl at MLB, or Neufeld or another NI on the O-line with a good import MLB, I would go with option "B".

While I agree with you it's going to be hard to give up one of the best olinemen in the league because we want a better ratio.

As much as I like Bond he’s gonna be pricey and it’s simply time for us to go with 3 Canadians on the offensive line.  We have Neufeld who can take the pressure off Couture but Couture should be ready.  We also have Spooner coming back as a second year guy and will likely continue to draft and develop offensive lineman.   You don’t make the comittment we made to drafting and developing offensive lineman to start 2 Canadians there long term.

    The Bombers announce a new two year deal for Chris Randle.

Found one - a QB with almost no reps early in his career; a slow starter who became a #1 QB...  Steven Jyles!!!

My problem with Davis is that he already had a rap as guy who gave up on his reads too quickly and threw to his check down too often.  When he played this year he seemed to really struggle with reading defenses.  Dave Dickenson struggled in his first game but he didn’t have a bad rap before the stamps signed him. 

Perhaps Glenn comes back to Winnipeg as our back up / 3rd stringer?

He’s already shown enough upside considering it was just 3rd round pick we gave up. We’ve continually drafted worse receivers higher up than that.

Even the first round can be a crapshoot in the cfl. Overall it’s about acquiring depth and some prototypical CFL starters and the odd genius pick turns into a ratio breaker. We’ve acquired plenty of all three since Walters took over.   I’ve got zero complaints when looking at the macro of his drafting. 

Wait a minute.  Are people actually complaining about Walter’s drafting?
