serves Buono right for Westermaning us, and making us deal with Tyson Pencer for all those years!

Sounds like Kyle owes Duane Forde a doughnut.  Also - how pissed off is Wally right now?  He had this kid in the bag and Forde totally screwed it up for him.

His size and testing numbers indicate that he will potentially make a hell of a weak-side linebacker in the CFL.  I believe that he could also play safety but that teams value a Canadian linebacker more than they value a Canadian safety (supply-and-demand), so the Bombers will do everything they can to make him work at that spot.  Furthermore Richie Hall has a history of always using an import at safety and we have a really good one.  The Bombers are clearly committed to starting a Canadian corner as well and it seems unlikely to me that they would start two Canadians in the secondary.

I'm surprised Walters is even thinking about this considering how crappt our line has been since 2009

Trade Greaves?  Huh? 
 
SMS?  I'd expect an NI starter in return for Greaves so the salary difference wouldn't be that much.
 
To start a rookie guard?  We don't have any idea if Chungh is ready to start or not in the CFL.
 
Because we have 5 NI's fighting for one spot?  We are only going to have to cut one.   As it stands, Neufeld or Goosen is penciled in as a starter or 6th O lineman.  Chungh on the 46.  Everett or Griffiths on the PR.

I suddenly find myself very happy with kyle Walters draft work... LOL

Okay boss. Some people do care. Mateas just signed a 3 year contract with Ottawa. Same with Goossen last year. If you don't care, that's cool. But others do care. I'm quite curious why he only signed 2 years.

Chungh is a fine pick
Richards over Waud is baffling
Morgan seems like a Mack pick - hope it works
Normand is a decent pick
Lattanzio is a nice fourth round steal
Surprised we went with LB instead of a DL/OL project in the 6th\
Hope someone can longsnap
Excited about Yantz
 
My vote - skeptical but at least we didn't screw up #2 overall

Agreed, except Bombers didn't have a 3rd rounder. Kinda defeats the purpose of the swap of picks with the Riders in the Watson trade. We traded up for a 2nd round pick, but got 3/4th round value.

Love the Chungh pick.  
 
Better receivers were still available when we picked Richards (I'd have taken Durant).  Bunch of better players than Morgan available.  No idea what Walters was thinking in the second round.

I hope not... Im pumped about the possibility of getting an elite interior prospect on the OL.
 
Havent had one of those since LaBatte IMO. Neufeld and Greaves are avg at best and Picard is way over rated.
 
Goosen and Chungh/Mateas would really ensure a bright future for our OL

My money is still on:
OL at 2, either Chungh or Groulx. Then best WR available at 11, be it Demski, Harty or Richards. Then a defensive player at 15.

Super pumped about this signing for a few reasons. first one is obvious, impact canucks don't come along very often. Second, we strengthened an area of weakness of last season at the same time. We already have Good DT's, so a guy like Christo would be less impactful IMO then Westerman.
 
It's like 2 birds with one stone. Now we have Johnson, Booker, Fraser and Peach all competing for the other spot. I think Our Dline is going to be a thing of beauty again.

We'll see.  Doesn't make any sense to me to start Sam Hurl at WILL.

Ya I know, real funny eh? Even funnier that both he and Kyle Walters have said in the past month that Sam Hurl is ready to be a starting middle linebacker on TSN 1290. Like I said, we'll see.

Greg Peach, the back-up: Excellent.
Greg Peach, Starter: Your scouting isn't good enough and your DL isn't good enough.

Wonder who Hamilton's backup is going to be with LeFevour going to the Als?  Can't be Masoli as that guy is an awful turnover machine.

I still like Clemons and Jackson best out of all the receivers we've brought in thus far. Even though Jackson was here last year for a cup of coffee.

Lol yes I read it but I didn't need to read it because I have my own opinion on our Canadian situation thanks. And we don't have 8 legit starting Canadian options, we have 6. Hurl or Newman MIGHT be capable of starting but they haven't shown that yet. Thomas and Brown are rotational players at best. Having enough Canadians to start is again coming down to hope, because its definitely not a sure thing. God forbid Matt Bucknor or Rory Kohlert get injured because we will be in some trouble.
Our Canadian depth has not improved by as much as you seem to think. It's still in rough shape.

Rider fans are quite critical of Sam Hurl so I watched some game tape of some of his starts from last season, focusing on him, and he really impressed me. Strong physical guy, seems smart and was good in coverage. After watching the video, and seeing he's only 24 years old, I think he's got a legit chance at starting.

Yeah and what we see is a guy who has managed to stick in the league for a long long time. If he wasn't a decent option at qb he wouldn't have lasted anywhere close to that long. Some of you guys really hate the guy though and constantly downplay what he can accomplish. No one is talking about bringing him in to run the team. A lot of you folks are acting a lot like Mike Kelly did. "Glenn sucks! We'd be better off with this unproven guy!" How'd that work out for everyone? 

Said there's not much difference between him and Morley - both are journeyman RG
Neufeld played better at OT in sask
