Next fb we roster is going to be a monster producer like mike sellers. But he will be standing in the shoulders of the giant that is damnian Jackson.
next time we sign a guy with a heavy military pedigree I’m gonna be real nervous and suspicious.
Next guy maybe Schmekel again.Doubt it. How many fullbacks get carries these days?

Brady wasn't as fast but he was a lot stronger. 29 reps vs 16 for Chris-Ike (Herzog was dnp), but I think your right, I would think Chris-Ike at least would go in the 2nd round. I would think we'd even be interested vs taking a fullback (neither Hladik or Oulette impressed speed or strength wise)
Hladik just put up 22 reps on the bench, that is pretty good for a fullback. He had more reps than some Dlinemen.

For sure. I looked hard at both those draft boards and I am not seeing any gems that we passed on. Just a butt load of unrecognizable names behind our picks even a couple years after the draft. 2022 we only had one pick in the first 3 rounds and we took Tyrell Ford which is a really solid pick, and let's be real we are not finding future starting potential beyond the first 3 rounds....or at least that should not be anyone's expectation. A lot of people getting on about Schmekel and Bennett but I'm not seeing anything better behind them really. just looking at the round by round draft and I think every GM in these 2 years are probably disappointed after round 1.
Of course you can find future starting potential beyond round 3.
Calgary have started two Mr. Irrelevants.
Your starting LG this year might be Eli. Guess who was picked in the fourth round.
My Ti-Cats are starting a fourth round pick (Katsantonis) at safety this year.
Logan Ferland wasn't even drafted and is the starting LG for Saskatchewan.

They already had their MLB replacement, just needed a new deal. He's not a Canadian though so they may have to shuffle things around for the ratio.

They might go with Cassar and Hoyte in the middle.

Why would he tho ..he wouldn't crack that starters lineup...he knows he has easy access to a starter spot here..whether earned/deserved or not
I wouldn't say that. He can play cornerback, strongside linebacker and safety. Teams wanted his versatility.

Not sure who Ford was throwing that to, still needs more seasoning.
Is this a joke, even veteran QBs throw it to no one. Does Zack need more seasoning?

Yup...Osh don't like it cause his Canadian bias...and it hurts us...same reason Kramdi is in...we have better options there that are import..and we don't even need a Canadian there...but it's another Osh boner putting him there for no reason other than that stubborness
I do
If that were the case Kramdi would be staring at safety and Alexander would be in the box. Obviously the staff thinks SLB is a better fit, or they would just stick him in the old Canadian role at safety.

Killing the jeffs, no replacement for grant for 6 weeks 7 cuz God forbid we play the new guy, haba to pr, Jackson still rostered, 6 dl and 3 pretty much play all game,
(Bennett is awful, Thomas is old but gets reps ) dressing 20 lbs, the special teams scheme
There's a few questionable decisions
Kramdi starting over an American.
There's a few.
It's not just 1 or 2.
If you watch Kramdi he is actually good, that is why he is starting over an American. Hallett or Kramdi could play safety and move Alexander to SLB, maybe the coaches see Kramdi as a SLB. The Canadian SLB is making a come back.

Wil is more of a strong saftey position these days in the cfl. Clements is 216 Cole is 207 kyrie is 215 Briggs is 211. More and more teams are going to bigger sams and smaller wils to the point where soon you won’t see much of a physical difference.
McManus
Konar
Judge
Lokombo
Lawrence
Teitz
Aren't exactly smaller Wills. They the same body type, WLBs usually are.

Eli is natural centre. I would hope to see him back there. I don't see H Sr retiring.
Who said anything about retirement? Teams release aging vets all the time. Hitchcock and Morrale where released from Hamilton once upon a time, due to age.

I’m not worried about lber. With kyrie healthy we will be good and relatively deep.
Oline we have the guys to make the changes. It’s just a matter of will power to do so.Exactly, Dobson to RG, Grey to RT, Eli at LG. Maybe that's a next year thing.

No one should feel good about how they played tonight. Both teams look like trash.
The defenses should both feel good.

This isn’t really a hot take but this draft is terrible
I have the lowest of expectations for anybody making an impact on our roster
The draft isn't terrible. Plenty of quality players.

I'm really high on Adamson's potential as a guard. Might have read me saying that last year. Walters had a good way of putting it that it gives his career longevity. Want those athletic guys on the offensive side of the line too.
I see a tougher version of Chris Greaves. When you have a guy with the hands and feet but not the explosiveness why the hell wouldn't you flip him around?
The U of M DL in the upcoming draft is another one who probably has a better shot as a OL, Kornelson.
Does he stay at guard though with Eli being resigned? It seems wasteful to turn a big defensive tackle into a development guard, when one can be picked in the draft.

He’s a good 3-4 inches taller and listed as 265 with the bisons, Jake is him self undersized as a dt but a good bit removed from weighing 276. He was a 2 sport guy in hs playing pretty good basketball. He is a very different body type than jake.
Reminds me a lot of Brett MacNeil actually.The Bomber's website has him listed in the 290s. Similar to Doug Brown in that he is lengthy defensive tackle.

Interesting. Kind of makes sense for his play style. He was kind of an undersized gap canceller at dt. I wonder if they project him as a tackle or guard. He’s tall long and athletic but not super heavy. I hope they really give the guy a shot and sit him on the pr for a while and bring him back next year. That’s the kind of position switch that could take some time.
How is he undersized? He weights more than Thomas.

AND the beginning of the end 0f the league as we know it.....You might convince some younger fans of today to go down that road BUT the older stalwarts of this league will probably walk away...No win there so if it ain't broke don't fix it....Of course there will always be room for improvement, especially in T.O. where there is the American wannabe attitude....Will removing the Canuck players and go with Americans placate and improve the situation there.....I doubt it ...They want the whole ball of wax and institute a full American nfl franchise ,so removing Canadians won't and doesn't make sense at least in that situation...As for the rest of the league....it ain't broke
I'm 33 and believe we need more Canadians, not less. Not just at traditional Canadian positions.

again...not liking that depth chart...right side of secondary is weak sauce...again...no real DE to rotate...same guy as last game and he never even saw the field...and is he even a true d-end?...weak inexperienced right side of the db back field...Wil is a total joke....and dressing an extra OL again...of whom will not even really make an impact, let alone even see the field...like whats the point...for all Osh's good things...his use of the roster/ratio and who he dresses more times than not is garbage...almost surprising we been as successful as we have been
Do you mean the fieldside or boundary? Because the CFL doesn't use left and right any more. You have
Fieldside/strongside/wideside
Boundary/weakside/shortside

If I'm Nathan Rourke & the injury he has keeps him out till next season so he can't work out for any NFL teams this coming off season, I'm not coming back to the Liions next year for the money they're paying him now. Pay up or sit out till his contract is over after next season. Watch the panic set in from management & coaches.
I don't think Rourke is that type of guy. He seems to be the type to honour a contract.

Has Rourke's balls dropped yet? Jesus how young is he?
He's 24

Yes, that remains a strong possibility.
The BC Lions would be a good fit for him too. However, they spent like drunken sailors in the offseason and have almost no cap relief from Rourke's injury, Not sure they have the cap space to make it work.
BC is a pass based offense, doubt Streveler would have success in it.

Straight ahead bull type rusher who is a situational player. Not a starter. He was a Fullback at SFU.
Yes he may have been a fullback at SFU, but he has a good backup halfback at the CFL level.

He's an Antre Milanovic-Litre clone. Not much else. Runs the same & looks the same. Milanovic-Litre was my son's fullback at SFU & was great (in the NCAA D2 Great Northern Athletic Conference) & I loved watching him bash & run over defenders back then but he's barely a backup in the CFL. If both Milanovic-Litre & Ouelette are starters, their teams can't run the ball well at all.
He gets paid too much money. He won't take a pay cut.
Milanovic-Litre is a great change of pace back, who underated. Wasn't even a fullback in Calgary, but for some reason Jones started him at fullback the first couple of games.

BC kinda begged for this to happen tho...cant deny it...in every game he was in there well past practical...save smart and prudent...so hate for it to happen...and would never wish it but it was avoidable.
In my opinion I see PIpkin starting this week against the Riders...and even then I still see B.C winning..that first game after an injury like that a lot of times teams come out hard and get that win....then reality sets in and other teams see what they have to scheme against.
Nothing is ever guaranteed but it makes our opportunity to clinch a west final much easier
Good thing you opionion is wrong and O'Connor will get the start.

Mital is definitely going to Ottawa. That is their weakest position. Plus this draft is loaded at the offensive line.
Wallace will probably go to Saskatchewan at 3, to compete at LG and RG with Rider's.
Don't see a running back going in round 1. Ti-Cats have depth issues at MLB and Safety. Defensive back is a area of strength in this draft, but Labrosse could be the pick.
Like the other picks though. Especially Hergott and Brubacher going in round one.
