    Hmm JFG not on bombers roster list... prob just mistake.  but not sure that Bastien or Richards don't replace him...  I'd like to see him move to fullback, still big enough to block.

    Idk what happened to JFG. he went from a monster catching every thing to houdini. Maybe we could move him to RB to add to our NI rb depth

    I think he's from the Lower Mainland so you know the Lions will go hard after him next season. Or the Stamps since he went to the U of C. Those probably will be the teams that may chase him although just about every CFL team would want Chungh.

    yeah i imagine its gonna be every team. Id really like us to throw money at him part way through the season. developing another NI OL to watch em walk to another team would kill me.

    I don't think Chungh can crack an NFL team. It's making him fit in the salary cap next season. He'll want a substantial raise & will be coveted by a lot of CFL teams. It's going to cost to keep him.

    Based on his play last year, no. He has progressed very quickly however. He could have a dominant year and be looking at the nfl, but i dont expect that. I do expect we will be fighting off other CFL teams to keep him though, unless we sign him mid season.

    People have said Walters has had great offseasons the last couple years, hasn't made a difference and until he gets better at recruiting some players I doubt it changes because that is where your depth comes from and depth has killed this team the past couple seasons.

    Thats true. The couple good off seasons in a row as left us in a position with better NI depth then weve had in many years. We have more NI starters then even, with depth behind them, and development guys behind them. 

     Willy injuries, OL play, and offensive play calling has held us back these seasons under walters. Those will also be the key point to success this season. But we are as prepared for all 3 as we can be.

    I'm not worried about the judgment calls. I don't expect their judgment to be perfect.

    What I do expect is that if there's a situation where the application of the rule is black and white i.e. it's either an illegal formation or it's not, you better believe I expect perfection. Those are the type of calls that cost people money, or worse yet, jobs. There are supposed to be checks and balances in place to prevent those mistakes from being made. I don't want any more statements of "oopsie daisy we goofed and cost your team a game" the following Monday. I want the rules applied properly.

     I think thats why they keep expanding review. Rather slow the game down, especially late and get the call right then have calls cost games. Personally, I think we need more refs. There is soo much to watch especially with the big field, but that said some stuff especially on the line needs to be let go.

      The cfl has shown great willingness to try different things to get games right and make them more entertaining. As long as they continue on that path I think the cfl reffing will be in a great spot a few years down the road.

    Stoudermire has all the tools a returner needs in either league, he just has to get his brain working at a higher level to match the physical gifts.

    Yep, thats true. But you dont see guys in camp in the NFL for the returner spot who doesnt have that skill set. TBH i think they prefer returners who have the head for it and make the most of easy yards rather then high risk/reward returners but thats just me.

    im not saying these guys can't be quality starters in the future. I'm saying we have no reason to believe they'll be better than replacement level players in 2016. I wouldn't be penciling any of them in for starting jobs this year, one of them is going to have to come out and take it in camp. 

    thats true of the draftees mostly. but waggoner doesnt fall under that. A year of practices, STs some game time on D, and a full TC is huge.

    This isn't Rider fans guy. We're supposed to be the half way impartial/intelligent fan base that doesn't believe every ham n egger is starting material. 

    we also arent supposed to S*** on players based on very little. Waggoner has shown some flashes and has a year of learning under his belt. Loffler has had none of that and has had several serious injury problems. Even walters said that hes a prospect and a guy that maybe can contribute on teams this year.

    sounds like it was a pretty good draft, only one that id say that puzzles me is picking gauthier at 28 when dillon guy was still on the board. most people said theyd be happy with him as our 9 or 10 pick, so BC grabbing him at 30 might put the microscope on Gauthier a little, at least for me

    He was picked kinda quick, but a guy with that mix of toughness, athletic ability, and intangibles im just looking forward to seeing him in camp.

    If any thing not grabbing lalama when both our last picks would be available as free agents is a bit puzzling. But im not complaining.

    9th Trent corney DL virginia 6'3 255. Crazy gifted athlete was considered a threat to be a late pick in the nfl, some how not even a UDFA signee. 4.6 flat speed the video of him jumping out of the pool forwards and backwards is jaw dropping. 

    10th Michael couture OL simon fraser. 6'4 292. Was considered undersized and in need of mass. Played around 280 in college.  Was pretty versatile and played all positions along the line in college.

    19th Taylor loffler DB UBC  6'3 218 Was at boise state missed 2 years with hip and knee injuries before ending up at UBC. Big, athletic had to fight for draft eligibility. Combine numbers werent great, but seems to play fast rather then be a combine guy.

    28th Shane gauthier LB Laval 5'10 223. 4.6 40 all around good mix of intangibles and athletic skill. Not huge, but i could see him making an impact on teams right away. 

    37th Zachary Intzandt OL Mcmaster 6'4 303lbs Dont know alot other then he went through a position change. 

    46th Rupert Butcher DL Western ontario 6'4 327. Combine monster, wrecked people in the 1 on 1s.

    55th Alex Vitt SB U of M 6'1 205. Local guy who had a solid year for the bisons 31 catches 728 yards and 4 scores. Didnt see alot of production in the back half of the year though.

    63rd Frank renaud LB Windsor 6'1 215. Played in the shrine bowl last year, hard work guy with a nose for the football.

    Any one have any more info on these guys? Grade A draft in my books. We got a great mix of guys with potential to start, we got Athleticism, and some guys who can make and impact on teams.

    The cfl draft is any thing but predictable but I thought it might be fun to take some shots in the dark. Does the first over all pick get traded? Who goes first? Who do the blue take?

    Im guessing the first over all pick doesnt get traded. Im thinking st.john goes first over all. I think the bombers take gagnon with our first pick in the 2nd. (hope as much as think) Im also gonna say ottawa gambles and takes onyemata's rights. 

    Right on the first two. Soo wrong on gagnon. Though i wouldnt change a thing about this draft.  Our top 3 picks are killer. And another miss on who takes onyemata. I dont think he ever ends up in the cfl but thats just me.  50% on my pics but i think the first two were gimmies xD
