Exactly.
 
Sometimes a pick is bad because you don't do your homework. (Pencer)
 
And then sometimes a pick is bad just because they can't figure it out. (Poblah)
 
Poblah was about as surefire of a choice as there was coming out of college. Hell, he was being recruited as an import before his eligibility was established. Remember how dominant he was in training camp the first year he was here? I remember Jovon Johnson saying he's as tough a matchup one on one as he had ever faced in practice. 
 
And then as it turned out, he sucked when the lights came on.

Little bit of revisionist history, but he still mishandled it a bit.
 
Hamilton and Winnipeg agreed to a conditional trade on the morning of the draft. It was mentioned as a conditional trade on the draft preshow, before they started picking. Then Hamilton suddenly yanked the conditions out from under Winnipeg and made them make a decision to either take the deal now or it was off the table. Mack took it, BC jumped to 2 and the rest was history.
 
People make it seem like Mack just flipped picks for the third overall AFTER Buono jumped to second overall, but that's not really how it went down.

Where did I even mention Taman?

Corey Mace and a first round pick (instead of Tom Canada) for Zeke Moreno.
 
One of the great trades of our time.

Sounds like a recipe to repeat exactly what we've been doing for 20 years.

Not buying this thing about Cotton being too small. If you can handle the workload, you can handle the workload. Cotton is an athletic specimen and there are other backs his size in this league doing a fine job.

Pretty sad that Pencer got cut before Dale Stevenson, who was a non-import who has bounced between OL and fullback in past years.

Best part of this new forum .. being able to ignore individual posters .. unfortunately as a mod .. I can't do that ..

Hall got rid of the ball very decisively, not sure what you saw.

I liked WIlly, Urrutia, Cotton, Marve, Kemp, Bruce Johnson, Bucknor ... Didn't like Tarver at all. Didn't like Brohm, Jaymar Johnson, Pencer either

I'll be at Bomber training camp this morning and will post my observations/reports on here...

I try not to read too much into receivers playing well in the preseason.
 
Our leading receivers the last three preseasons have been Trevor Kennedy, Doug Pierce, Perry Floyd and Josh Bishop.

But how was the dental plan?

I think it says a lot about our locker room that while Foley, Mo Price and the rest of them are babbling away on Twitter about not being able to afford their groceries, our team is doing things like giving away tickets and apparel to fans.

Willy played a lot better than his numbers indicate, I'll say that much.
