If it wasnt for the positive exposure we get from guys going south we wouldnt see near the same serge in talent in the draft that we have the last few years. Not to mention the cahoon esq americans that come up more and more. Time in NFL camps for young guys can be really good too. The amount of man hours they invest in positional training dwarfs what we do up here. Imagine these guys getting a camp and all having some one like bob wylie for their position, some of the most successful players in the world at that position, not to mention the athletic training, dietitians etc. The first days rookie stuff teams put players through to adjust to life as a pro athlete can be worth its weight in gold too. The value of that experience is of course limited compared to actually getting a chance to play. Guys sitting around on PRs and waiting for deals for a couple years is awful. Pretty much. Im hoping for 2 of judge, colling, vandevoort, and behar. But OL depth is allways good.

nice, i saw that and figure ill check it out at some point. Does not jaxx talk in an accent? I watched GOTG 2 tnite. It was pretty good. Certainly better then most of the marvel 2.0 movies. The post credit scene is a real nerd-gasm moment. I really like some of the new supporting roles. This felt more like a intro to the guardians (star lord any way) and a .5 movie then a sequel. But knowing the direction of the MCU and where the gotg 2 is situated i get why they did the movie this way. Over all a must watch for marvel fans. Solidly in the top of the 2nd tier of marvel movies.

I think the top portion of that is the right guys. Assuming judge doesnt sign in the next couple days. Atleast 1 team will go off the board, and 1 team will gamble on an nfl guy. Imop the difference between the guys under 5 on that list or so are a tier and a half minimum below the nfl guys. Ie if i had a choice between mulumba and a gamble on ankou or gray id gamble. Also if we came out of it with judge and colling or behar id be beyond thrilled. Of those guys i think herdman or luke have the best chance to slide well down the draft.

Did all three get cash deals, or is it futures deals / invites? Certainly a blow to the draft but very much to be expect imop.

A bit yeah. It will be interesting to see what guys sign or get invites tomorrow.

Dont our drafted guys like butcher not count towards that? Guys who got drafted but went back to school. Either way I dont think the number of bodies in camp is a big deal. Its not a matter of a team getting a competitive edge or hiding guys from other teams.

Mini camp for qbs isnt a great tool for evaluation. No rush, 1 on 1s etc. It covers up some weak spots and hides some strengths. For instance throwing deep balls with no rush, and only 1 on 1 is nothing like tossing deep in games. While with out the rest of the field an athletic QB doesnt get much of any chance to shine. Its more about getting new guys a basic understanding of the system / cfl game, and seeing how they progressed since the coach call / end season meeting. Accurate possession offense qbs like nichols and lefevour will allways out perform some one like davis in a mini camp / 1 on 1s type drill. Short of some one stinking it up to an epic degree i wouldnt look too hard at the performance level of qbs till after the first pre season game. Davis has played soo little football in soo very long i dont know how any one can expect a lot of him right now. more then any one else he needs a good number of pre season reps.

still wouldnt be as one sided as the willy trade you might wanna skip the cfl draft then, picks made were on twitter n junk like 5minutes before they were made. Its soo long and drawn out too. I like drafts, but I think they would all be improved if they were sped up like 400%.

I could see judge having a good impact as a rotational / package guy right away as well as on team. The package in particular last year that hurl came in on to get an extra imp db on the field. I like collings too. Hes in the top tier of chance to be in camp in the first round this year imop. His impact would be similar on defense. In that he would rotate with Jake. He would have a better chance to take the starting job for sure. But wouldnt be nearly as impact full on teams. I also like butcher in that roll. And judge would probably be our best NI lber right away, plus give us the ability to start a NI there if needed. It will be interesting to see what we do. There is a lot of risk on the board and a few guys that will have atleast 1 or 2 teams kicking them self for gambling. The amount of talent available in the top 15 has soo little drop off (including gambles). if we draft as well as last year we are going to be in an incredible position NI wise for years to come.

http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/27/mini-camp-feature-alex-chisum/ that story about chisum and megatron is gold.

yeah hes got great football instincts, work ethic, and is out of this world athletically for a NI. On top of that hes a guy who relishes playing teams. He would have scored among the best ranks at the combine this year, save for the bench.

IMOP if judge was willing to sign a 2-3 year deal hed be worth the first over all imop.

ages and ages ago

a guy like him can easily make the nfl to play teams alone though. his size would work as a back up saftey as well.

http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/26/mini-camp-day-1-recap/

both guys had tons of talent, especially considering the strength of rookie NI crops 6 + years ago, but neither could hold up to the battering of pro football. If i could have 1 of these 2 and addison richards, healthy and the same age the last guy id take would be addison richards. (hope he proves me wrong this year, but not holding my breath)

probably going to have him line up and do solo drills to get him used to yard off the line n stuff. Plenty of acclimatizing for him to do, but yeah he isnt gonna show much with out drilling against some one.

emphasis on BIG. He gavin walls esq in size and shape. Guys that well built who can run like him and are over 6'0 are pretty rare. Cant wait to see him in camp. He has real good hands too. Thats a tough spot to crack though. There was talk of him jumping up to the first round of the nfl draft if he ran the 40 well. He didnt, he ran a 4.50 40. But his clear break away speed, and quick acceleration in game tends to make that look like a bad run or a guy who isnt track fast. His 41.5" vert, and 11'1" broad jump ( yes 11 feet!) combined with the fact he went from 4.51 at the combine to 4.46 at his pro day make it a a certainty. His broad jump is nearly double his height. His vert is elite level for the NBA combine. 15 reps 25lbs above your body weight is pretty impressive too. Hes compact, 5'9 200lbs never seemed to get taken down by first contact. Seldom tackles from behind. If you were going to design a perfect back for the cfl, he might be what you come out with. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2014-pro-days-baylors-seastrunk-improves-combine-times/ First play he hurts his leg, missed his only 2 games in college career. Still ran 76 yards for the score. I really would like to see him get some reps returning kicks and punts. He was the heavy feature back and didnt get as much versatile use as would be ideal, But he really seems to have the skill set for it.

With his athletic prowess he probably gets listed as a saftey, but his teams play would be what gets him on the roster. Every player who gets nfl interest could make them self a full nfl career if they just commit them self to excelling on teams. He seems like that kinda guy. With some eye popping numbers to back em up. thats the truth. Holy sweet crap this guy is a missile.

I dont think we can expect to see too much out of the lone linemen in camp.... The 5 for me, WR Rashon ceaser, handsy guy who plays slot and fits what we do really well. Seems like we will have a open spot up for grabs. RB kendall roberson, great size / speed combo crazy high level producer but at d3. LBer Will smith, probably the pre season favorite to take the mlb spot. Qb Myles carr. Being the only young guy its hard to see him not ending up the PR. Camp should be a great chance to see his raw ability. DB Terrence parks. Really big athlete, hard to imagine him playing corner but he has the base tools to play most defensive spots other then the line.

Yeah, RT is heavily weighted towards average movie goers. A positive score means atleast half the scores were 50% or better too its not a great metric imop.

so long as he doesnt fill out wade millers bra itll be ok. im surprised tho i thought they were high on him as a lber maybe its a typo.

golden parachute.

same i was never keen on the comics so i had low expectations but it worked great. maybe my favorite marvel movie so far. youre more the "damned kids get off my lawn" type though ya?

QB we signed a little ways back. Looks like a good developmental qb. Page 55 in this thread is where the discussion around him, videos links n usual stuff kicks off.
