Kicker. Castillo, I think they are looking for that American DL who can play 2-3 spots on the line to be a DI. Think they see Rivers, Garbutt and Waggoner as that guy potentially. The rest of the DL in camp seem a lot easier to classify as competing for rush end or nose spots. Kick returner. Would be a bonus if there's a guy who could be useful on offense. Grant was an all-time returner but couldn't really function in the offense, just gadget stuff. Then DB/LB...mostly for special teams. Cole's spot to lose. So I guess Castillo and Cole are signed.

Grant isn't a tailback. -
Burmeister intrigues me. He was a decent QB at a fairly high level (ACC). Started for Oregon as a freshman so just on raw talent there's something there. He just converted to receiver with Rams last year. Kind of wondering if they are looking at him in both spots....or even just QB. He must really have NFL dreams to come up here as a receiver because I have no doubt he could play QB in the UFL based on some of the guys playing there.

All the combine testing does is show who is serious about moving to the next level. If you're an OL walking into a combine where you can't do 20 reps of 225....you're showing that you're not willing (or able) to do the work to be a pro. Now if you have tremendous film you'll probably get a chance to prove that wrong. If the film is meh, the testing is meh, the on field stuff is meh, you're done.

I don't think the hyphenated name guy would be a crazy pick at 8 overall as a running back. Kind of a hybrid guy. -

Hergel won't be up here either. I think we'll be picking mostly from players who attended the combine. -

The only way Dublanko isn't the first overall pick is if he dies (Ottawa might still trade up for him though) or it's revealed he's got a bunch of skeletons in his closet. He's quite likely the best player and for certain the best player who won't be in a NFL camp of the players available. -
Blaise Bryant. Hell of a back. Wrecked his knee in the second to last game 94. Underrated reason for the playoff flameout that year vs Baltimore. He was a great receiving back that year too, like 120 yards from scrimmage per game type back. Played a couple more years but was busted up...and best QB those couple years was Reggie Slack. They started about 8 different guys. The end of Cal Murphy's run. In 94 they went to Keith Woodside who was a washed up NFLer to replace Bryant for playoffs. I'm pretty sure Dunigan hated him, no chemistry anyway. Totally ****** up that offense which was one of best in CFL history for the playoffs.

Unemployment. Was at Arizona State as OC and head coach took away playcalling. Left at end of season. -

Chisari is a guy who would fit here. Has tailback skills. Showed really well in the 1 on 1's vs LB's/DB's. He'd be a guy the D would have to count, not like a Jackson or these FB's who can't move. Would be up gaining the blocking skills and special teams. Between him, Augustine, the receivers and a 6th OL you'd think you'd have any "fullback" reps covered in terms of bringing in extra blockers to backfield or edge. -

Put up terrible numbers for speed and agility. Doubt he plays offense in the CFL. Better be good at special teams. -

Nah, Benedet, Adams, Wallace and Hergel are legit NFL prospects. Pretty likely the first two are drafted and potentially fairly early. The NCAA guys at the combine have all tested pretty average to below average. A few of the FCS and D2 guys did ok. Like Nkanu, Washington State. Brutal. If he doesn't dominate the live reps he's going to drop like crazy, not like it matters that much as long as someone drafts you. -

Chris-Ike too for backs. I think if you want a FB you're better off taking one of those guys and seeing if you can teach them how to block. Herzog would probably have to transform himself into a Demski/Coombs type player. The FB's from U Sports are basically OL. Mital might end up being more of an H-Back type too. Not many 6' 230 lb receivers around. -

A lot of the DB's will be LB's in the CFL at this combine. Some of the LB's will be edge types. DB's and WR's showed pretty good. There were only 2 receivers who ran 4.7 or worse. See what they look like in battle drills. I feel like Ajou Ajou is a guy that might fall right out of this draft. Think there's a crew there that will be long-term CFLers. OL group at combine is pretty poor. But most of the top 7-8 guys aren't there. Dumoulin Duguay is a guy I could see us picking in Round 1. -

Only thing I'd do for kickoffs is not allow the cover guys to move vertically until the ball is kicked. Would open up returns a bit and reduce speed of collisions. Not a fan of the XFL setup. Think you can accomplish the same thing but still allow a wedge. -
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.
