This draft has a good handful of guys with the athleticism and upside to become starters in the secondary or at wil.

I doubt it, so probably. Adeboboye would be fun to corner the market on RBs. Id love a guy like Tyrell ford at 13. I'm putting my money on us going DB/lber at 13. Or maybe taking a deep futures pick. As always as soon as the top tier of talent is gone (or sooner,) we will see a run on OL. It would line up for Gregor Mackellar to be there for us though. Maybe Hogan-Saindon will still be on the board at 13. I think atleast the top 3 ol will be gone by then. I keep seeing people linking Keaton bruggeling to us, could be we go that way. Brain says Schakel, gut says Mackellar, heart says one of the fords or philpots falls to us. Probably all wrong.

Idk who I'd have no2, and it would be a huge drop off, but it wouldn't be the stamps. Yeah pretty much every year the cross over looks promising before the season begins.

Only 2 guys drafted from the mexican league. I wonder how teams could ever manage to lure a legit prospect like kingsley jonathon the no1 pick, who is going to an NFL camp, with the awful low cap on global contracts. If he gets cut and the als try to offer him the value itll take for him to come north and the league vetos it, we could see a PR firestorm. 8 punters and 2 kickers taken. I like the global player thing, but it's not going to do much of any thing if its all punters and guys can't make any decent money.

I would. He's known to us. Because we've seen a decent amount of reps spread out over a large sample size. Other teams do a piss poor job of scouting and developing NI OL in general. They do an even worse job of scouting other teams National ol depth. If he and gray etc weren't peripheral players they would've been hotly sought after previously. Same with most of our developmental OL over the past few years. Go back and look at what Couture makes with respect to the rest of the OL in the league and you'll see. Teams don't scout other teams ol worth a damn. The only time teams really go after OL is when all star NIs come available, they try and plug and play thinking itll fix a bad OL. And it seldom works. Thats why we see soo many good and great OL (like dennis and bond) flop on bad ols, only to rebound well with other teams. Im guessing a mini camp invite?

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tom-hackett/32004841-4361-4270-32a0-4b7c8fc0ce7d Hackett looks like a real gem. Love that we are going after punters. Legs was horrid at punting and kicking off. Mourtada was at least good at kick offs. Sleep dalton looks like much more of a directional punter. Hackett seems to have a much better leg, but is a bit slow. I like that the DB played in laval and is very familiar with the Canadian game. Should be interesting to see how he does in camp. Laughs in taman, then coughs into a subway napkin.

I like the elks move here to move down and get depth picks in the first 20. Lots of good prospects. Not bad from montreal either, I like richards.

Looks very much like a young, new Jake too. Hard not to like this deal. We move down a bit and lose 1 pick but get a guy who would be on the active roster if the season started right now. Slots in very well with the loss of kongbo. Not likely to be a full time nose tackle as a pro, but a good DT who can play nose in a pinch. https://tdnprod.wpengine.com/2020/04/26/cfl-draft-profile-defensive-tackle-cam-lawson-queens/

I can see the logic in that, but the CFL seldom works that way. From eli being drafted in the first place, to ruby being re instated, and soo many more moves. The level of awareness in cfl front offices on peripheral players is extremely bad. To some extent its always going to be a fact of life. CFL teams have a fraction of the scouting funds that every other league in north america has, and they have 10x more ground to cover than every thing short of baseball and soccer. If it wasn't for danny macs fringe relation to eli the entire league would've slept on him. Still behind whopper, but in a normal year he'd be the run away favorite for TC Most Valuable Name. Craphonso Thorpe is still my all time favorite.

Same. I also wonder if it effects Eli. I could see them having been waiting him out to get him on as cheap a deal as possible. If they can get him on a min or close to it, and Dobson comes up this year, plus the possibility that Desjarlais gets cut that's all gotta play in heavily. I also think we will be inclined towards gambling on a lotto ticket pick who has NFL options, not just for the upside but for financial savings just like with dobson last year.

Should have a poll. The various combinations of the First 2 picks ol vs every other position. (Ol/ol, ol/other, other/Ol, other/other) Tre Ford is going to be the most interesting guy to watch imo. With an NFL invite I think he could go any where. I think the team that drafts the most defenders in the first 3 or 4 rounds or the most lotto tickets wins the draft.

I was wondering what was going on. They had him listed on the roster but not the active roster ir pr etc I bet he's here this year now.

Great arm talent and size. Mentally tough and aggressive decision making but not great at reading a d and not mobile. Very mbt skill set but much better experience. Interesting pick up not our usual type of qb

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/shane-simpson/32005349-4d60-8065-c99b-5776a30350aa Looks like has good acceleration, is a good north south runner, and has great top end speed. A 100m track guy. Looks exactly like the type of KR we like.

Id like to see them with out any of the white. Just Blue n Gold.

Agreed. Should be some good improvements. Wish they'd adjust the play clock and increase roster sizes.

https://www.cfl.ca/2022/04/26/touchdown-atlantic-game-sells-out-in-one-hour/ It was increased to 10k for this game. Soo pretty good guess! I would've probably guessed further under.

TD atlantic sells out in short order. Soo fast it makes me suspect re sellers and some companies agreed to do so before hand. My expectations for this are low. Bills game in toronto during a leafs game low.

In general I feel like I'm pretty far off the beat for how we draft. We like athletic, high upside guys and kind of mid level lotto ticket picks. But out side of that, and attributes we like I don't think I've been right about a single selection the team has made in the mafia era. With that said, I just can't see the logic behind all these prognosticators. This is a mediocre if not bad batch of OL prospects. I just can't imagine us reaching for a mid level OL prospect with a low ceiling, early on in this weak of a draft (for ol). Especially not with soo many highly athletic defensive players who can contribute on teams early on. I'm willing to bet that Eli will be back this year. I dont think dobson has been starting in the USFL, and if thats so I dont think he will be NFL bound this year.

I could see us trading up in this draft. I think the no1 pick is on the market, and this is the draft to trade up in imo. Maybe not to first over all, but the difference in value between a top 5 pick and the next 10 ish is really big. If we did go to first over all though, Richards would be plug and play ratio wise for the loss of kongbo. He's a great athlete and this draft has really good depth for developmental athletic lbers. I think Beeksma ( polished teams player) and Appolon (Versatile athlete) would be great fits too. I think we have a great opportunity to get a guy to develop and play reps this year. Federico could be another guy that rosters this year, rotates some and contributes on teams right away. Knight and Pelley are really interesting prospects that could fit well with what we do on the DL as well. For Ol I think gregor mackellar is a great sleeper pick for us. Big tremendous physical talent who is the nastiest Ol in the draft. He's a guy that we could groom for a while and not need to rush. He's got fantastic upside if he jives with the coaching staff. I think we really want to grow NI depth at DB as well, so tyrell ford could be a great fit that might be available in the 2nd round. I also think its a great year for the bombers to take lotto ticket pickets like luketa if they dont trade up.

Randall is a guy who could eventually fill the role left by stove. Similar extreme physical talent in a nose prospect, stove has a much higher football IQ and top tier drive to improve. That said, for a guy to miss 2 years of ncaa football due to academic issues, over come that and come back more dominant than ever says a lot about his work ethic and character. The bombers scout DTs extremely well. Randall might be raw but he could be a real gem. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kenny-randall/32005241-4e08-2192-6dba-6a4dfb6f5379 Johnson is an extremely talented guy who had some injury issues. He also has tons and tons of heart. He played both ways a bunch as a senior.

The pitching is slowly getting better but has a lot of work to do

You're underestimating it, a lot. Woli settles for a role but has shown and produced at a much higher level. Lawler was the no3 option going into last year. 2nd year woli was as good or better than 1st year lawler, 2nd year bailey, and 95% of nic demski's career. You just don't grasp the nature of the position and role he plays.

Plus Un leashing woli with the hash change then wr core will be the best its been in years

100 percent. Wr tc battle is gonna be epic
