Joel Dublanko apparently getting added to the draft, he’ll go top 3 and probably not 3rd

Honestly just a ridiculous expectation

We really could. Three picks in the top 20, we need to take a big swing with one of them if you ask me. Ten picks in total. We need to come away with a good mix of everything. Lots of good prospects with varying purposes at the top of the board. Would like to see them look WR (Mital), OL (Wallace) or even wonder if they’d take a look at a unique player like TE Tanner McLachlan to fill that blocking role or take a long term look at someone like DT Kail Dava (will drop, out long term with an injury) TONS of options

Our top 4-5 maybe. Our top 10 falls off QUICK and it’s not even close to the best in the league.

Genuinely not even close

Honestly I don’t even hate the Bennett pick because the draft class was so bad, as I said right from the start of the lead up last year. Just the player deployment is an issue.

3DN is super credible as far as reporting news. Dunk and Hodge are both very well connected throughout the league, just look at how many signings they leaked prior to official announcements. They don’t miss on that front at all and it’s unfair to say they do. The problem with them is the exact opposite of what you’re suggesting it is. When they get into actual analysis, it’s worse than your typical tan forum commentary. Hodge, JC Abbott, that guy who was on Big Brother from Calgary … they’re all lost when it actually comes to discussing football. if they just stick to the news they’d be fine and that’s coming from someone who really doesn’t like any of them on any level. They all suck. But they’re definitely well connected within the league - although I’ll definitely suggest it’s because SOMEBODY has to be and they do it by default for all the team executives and player agents

In fairness the last two drafts have been abysmal for OL

We don’t even need to run a Canadian somewhere else

That’s THE story that GCn20 is using to refer to Chad Kelly as a sexual predator. He got charged with trespassing (the house was unlocked) and wandered drunkenly into someone’s home, was comfortable enough to sit next to them on the couch and start mumbling to them while dressed as Woody from Toy Story (aka he was probably so smashed he thought he was at the right house and thought he was talking to someone he knew) and then got confrontational with the husband when he chased him off with either a bat or a pipe, I forget (because he’s a moron and he probably couldn’t understand why anyone had a problem with the mixup) Idiot? Absolutely. Sexual predator? Based off that story? Reach.

Except that’s not really what happened. Let’s just take the names and legal terms out of the story. ”Man wearing Toy Story costume drunkenly wanders into unlocked home, sits down on couch, mumbles at woman nursing her young child, gets confronted by father and is chased off the property” What part of that screams sex pest to you? Not to mention the part where they sued him and none of what they were asking for was due to any psychological trauma of any kind. Even the victims of this crime aren’t accusing him of what you are. Is he a complete idiot? Hell yeah. Was this a sexual crime in any way whatsoever? Absolutely not.

They might

It didn’t happen.

Mostly just that everyone is already proclaiming this guy is guilty because he’s got a reputation and if it were a Bomber, there would be cries of “let the process play out” I wonder if anyone ever stopped to wonder if the reason this became public is because he has this reputation and the woman knew this would be effective. Disclaimer: if he’s guilty of the claims, he’s a total piece of crap I just see the double standard here for what it is and someone’s right to due process shouldn't depend on what team colours they wear

I wonder how we’d be reacting to this news if it were about Dalton Schoen

So what?

I do remember that article now that you mention it. I stand corrected!

Really depends on what you need, if you wanna talk scouting. Bombers and Argos scouting staff both seem to have an incredible handle on finding defensive backs and offensive linemen. Argos seem to find guys to play all over in the box, Bombers have had great success finding interior linemen. Rigmaiden finds more receivers than anyone league-wide (could be wrong but I think I remember being told Schoen was his add to the neg list too) and it seems like the Bombers have figured out a pretty good recipe for finding the CFL style quarterbacks.

Riders signed a guy with quite the name.

Because all they are really good at doing is producing the top end talent. There are some outliers of course, but if you go back and look, most of their talent in the NFL are early draft picks. They don’t really develop the guys who don’t come to them as 4 or 5-star recruits which means I don’t get too excited when I see an Alabama guy come up here.

I don’t think we have any sex pests like Chad Kelly or any overall assholes, but one of our best players definitely doesn’t make good life choices all the time. Not that it’s an issue, I’m just saying it’s not unique to other teams

Didn’t we employ a guy who tried to drown his wife in a bathtub? Isn’t one of our star players a guy who makes sure he isn’t super thirsty before he drives a car?

I don’t need to ask him, I know why As an aside, I’m happy I have my autographed Streveler jersey to bust out now that Bailey is gone. But I usually roll with the Khari Jones jersey I found on Marketplace for $30 last year
