  1. Almost none of those guys played fullback in U Sports. That's kind of the point Hodge is missing too. Teams convert big receivers, tailbacks or guys who played D over. The guys playing FB in U Sports aren't pro level athletes. There's not a lot of futures guys anymore with the eligibility changes and I don't think they'd prefer that anyway. Our Canadian depth is extremely light right now. They need to get 4-5 immediate players at least out of this draft...guys who can be on the roster and guys who can fill in off PR. Otherwise they'll be dumpster diving to backfill the bottom third of the roster.
  2. Don't think either of those guys play up here tbh. That's the big issue with this draft, especially considering how big NFL PR's now and no limits on it in terms of tenure. Guy can bounce around PR's for a decade.
  3. Don't think Bombers will draft too much for positional need in this one since there are a lot of great players in the draft. But it will be heavy on OL/DL, LB/DB, receiver. I expect almost all their picks in the first half of the draft to be from these position groups. See what combine looks like but doesn't look like any viable tailbacks in the crew, couple guys that might get converted into FB/TE types. Not much use in drafting a guy that's played FB in U Sports and runs like a lineman.
  4. It is funny though because the extra Canadian is used for some flexibility and you could easily use the nationalized rule to give you more flexibility in case of injury. It's actually incredibly stupid to not use it even if you don't plan on functionally using it for substitutions....you can have it in your back pocket in case you get some injuries.
  5. Pigrome was ******* awful in Ottawa. He had more than one game where he had multiple turnovers on short-yardage. Don't think the Bombers would sign him, honestly don't think anyone in the CFL will. He's probably headed to arena ball.
  6. Agreed. But we've got very little out of the drafts in general. I'm not as confident in the ability to run 3 imports on the OL and not force a significant drop off on D if needed. They'll have to really hit a couple home runs in this upcoming draft. It's deep but also deep in guys that might take awhile to get here.
  7. I'm not talking experienced depth. I'm talking anything to show from the past two drafts. It's a total departure from how they've steadily built the OL during this entire regime going on a decade having depth ready to play when they've needed it.
  8. Hasn't always been. We literally have nobody in the Eli/Dobson spots from a year ago. Major gamble that rookie will be able to play right away. No one in the queue like we've had before to cover off for guys missing most of seasons and limited space to add in terms of $$$. An issue.
  9. There's a cause and effect though. She reports misconduct by star QB. Contract isn't renewed. She had been with the team for 6 years, 5 seasons because of 2020 cancellation. Retaliation is a form of wrongful dismissal and the lead up with the accusation to not renewing the contract will be looked at as such in civil court.
  10. We'd be saying Al Couture shouldn't have wore those tight pants.
  11. Rider Store inundated with jersey orders from Winnipeg.
  12. Receiver battle shaping up to be the one to watch. Think they are looking for a slot to replace Bailey, another rangy wideout type and a returner/gadget guy out of the Americans. Interesting how many guys we have signed at receiver who played some QB in college too. Almost too many to be a coincidence.
  13. He's not on criminal trial here but he's been convicted twice criminally in the US. So technically calling him a criminal is truthful.
  14. Other thing is if guys haven't really been playing for awhile or even trying out they might not be anywhere near the kind of shape they need to be in to come in and compete. But they should have had eyes on and worked these guys out recently.
