Or they just have depth. Barrett is a project, Jackson is pretty much toast, Foster sucks and Chambers/Watson are injury concerns.

The irony in all of this? The pick that Edmonton used to take Hus in 2013 was originally Saskatchewan's. And they dealt it in another awful trade (4th rounder + Matt O'Donnell for Greg Carr + 5th rounder)

This honestly has the makings of being the worst trade I've seen in a long, long time.

Certainly wasn't as sold on him as a future RT as the blogosphere is.

That is horrible. Like what are you doing.

One guy I keep finding that I like more and more - Ron Omara

If that was the offer, I don't think I could turn it down. That's a lot of pieces.

IMO, the Bombers are going to dictate the pace of the draft with their second pick. We can safely assume that Ottawa is going to go OL. If the Bombers pick an OL then you could very likely see an early run on OL (which seems to be the direction things are going in) and that's going to leave a skill player on the board for us at 11. The 6 OL (Groulx, Mateas, McEwen, Chungh, Ruby and Lavoie) will all likely go in the top 10 if there's a run. That means one of Durant, Demski, Waud, Ackie or Lawrence will be there at 11, at least. That's a win for us.

We don't start a Canadian RB and there's no plans to do so for the Bombers, so I think you gotta go best WR before taking an RB at 11. Don't need to start a Canadian RB in my opinion - he essentially gives you the ability to do three things - have your thunder / lightning backfield combo without burning a designated import spot, if you so choose - have a competent backup as opposed to a Carl Volny type if you're going to go with one feature back - give you the ability to play a full complement of import receivers in certain sets (you could get Stoudermire in on offense, etc) On top of all of that, he has starting RB potential. You could land yourself a legitimate ratio buster. Decent points, but I'd still go WR over RB at 11. I'd love him later in the draft though if he was available; just don't like the idea of taking an RB that early. I'm not opposed to a receiver either although I'm starting to grow on the idea of Harty at 15 if Demski isn't around. In my opinion, Lawrence is a luxury pick. But seen as how we have the luxury of three top 15 picks, I'd use one on him if the board fell that way.

Connor had more hits than any of the other LBs in the draft class. Led Can-West in tackles as a JR and SR. Made a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage and defended against the pass well. Last year 9 LBs were selected and expect more of the same this year. I had Connor as my #7 LB before the Jay Langa positive test at the Combine. Out of curiosity, are Ackie and Omara in those previous 6? Or did you designate them DB/DL?

One player I'm really interested to see come off the board - Shaq Lawrence If he's there at 11 and Demski is gone, I wouldn't be upset in the least if Walters took him

Yep, basically that.

That 11/15 would be a disaster for us. Abankwah off the board before Harty? Taking Mrarube over Waud because of a pending mini camp? I'd give the Bombers a big F for that draft.

Demski has another one? Just meant other than the Giants.

Should make the draft very interesting. Is it just Campbell, Waud, Demski and Groulx who have other mini camps?

Or maybe you just have a different opinion and there's no need to get your panties in a bunch.

could see it, average at best against the run for a DT Coming off a pretty significant injury as well. pretty intriguing player to battle him for the spot too with Nate Collins

I think you're pretty much dead on.

Mrarube-Afujo is decent if he falls to the 30 range which I doubt.

Revisionist history, Mulumba wasn't a reach at all.

I'd still take Norzil in the later rounds.

Westerman says all 9 CFL teams contacted his agent but Winnipeg was the best fit.

Exactly, would you rather be Edmonton who drafted Scott Mitchell? We both have nothing right now, but at least we have some hope for the future. Edmonton already knows they blew it.

Rookie Waud and Thomas on their own - not enough to move the ratio. Add Westerman? Now drafting Waud makes sense for this team. I'd sooner suggest that they will look at an all import secondary. Both of these are good problems to have. Keep coming up with good problems Walters - big thumbs up. I'd prefer Bucknor as a starter over JFG. I do like JFG though. I'll gladly take that problem.
