Do the Bombers trade up for the 1st overall pick? Our first + the extra pick to move up three spaces in a deep draft? Will this allow us to get at least 3 players that will move the team forward, or do they hold fast, and keep a potential 4th high level pick? Do we have room for 4? Do we lose a player from an area of need if we trade the pick? Do we lose out on Vacarro if we don't - and is that so bad? I'm not sure - as we are not privy to all the information. Looking at our current roster - I would suggest our biggest area of weakness are OL -> reciever -> DL and then DB. OL -> Neufeld (at the tail end of career) - Wallace - Eli - with Vibert and Uwubanwen as backups. Reciever -> Demski - Nield - Clercius - with Cocoran and Cobb as backups. DT -> Lawson - with Schmekel and Kornelson as backups DE -> Bailey (Global) - no backup Safety -> Hallet / Ball / possibly J Smith / Kelly (and we may use an American here to start) LB -> perhaps use Shay and J Smith platooning at one position - Cadawallader and Novak as backups. RB/FB -> Oliveira and Paterson/Chris Ike. QB -> Elgersma will likely be one of the 20/21 Canadians on the opening positional chart other: Sheanhan (global punter), Leroux (long snapper) Have I missed anyone. Should be a fun night, and the global picks Wednesday. My son (12) and I are doing a draft party - and is usually one of the bigger days of the year. Whoever the Bombers pick - it should be fun. I hope they give every pick, as well as all the new players they have already brought in a real chance to compete for the team - need a serious, all-out, no locks training camp this year - let the players win their position. Apologies about the long winded post. If you see me at the games - I am wearing the bomber jersey with LANE on the back, #28. Looking forward to the discussions and arguments on the forum this year! Apologies if I tick you off if I question a post or thought - I will endeavor to do it in a constructive way! B28.

One way or another - its good we signed Elgersma. We get to see him in camp - and evaluate. I'm glad they didn't sign him last year with the 'squid' of an O.C. we had (Hogan) - would have been disastrous.

I am increasingly concerned that roster management and poor decision making will continue. Camp better not be a summer camp - and the Bombers better be prepared to move on from players during camp. Worse than 50/50 they wont.

I saw a few posts where the bombers have said Hogan will not be back... Ill try and find the link.

I think re-signing Brady and Nic are no-brainers. I agree others would be cheaper - but under a better OC these guys are our Canadian studs - we don't give them away.

I think 375K-400K is a good approximation. Holm was outstanding this year - and I have no problem with him and his salary. Kramdi at ~135K is too much - but he can play - but he is definitely not elite. Thomas - serviceable back in his first 6 years or so, but has really, really declined - and is a detriment physically to the play of the D -Line now. I appreciate his heart, and his dedication to the Bombers, and should be moved to a non-playing position - maybe learning how to coach, or perhaps the back/front office.

Fire Hogan, replace key personnel on both lines. Get some fire. Learn to tackle.

Thats it.

Lack of speed on DL

No contain. Again

And here we go.

Willie can go.

So cheap.

Brady dropped it

And then you let him get wide open
