Simonise was hot garbage in the 1 on 1's. I think he's likely to fall depending on how he came off in the interviews. I can't see many teams taking him over Petermann or Chapman. At best he's the 3rd receiver off the board IMO.

Chapman and Petermann at receiver. Onyeka (the DB not the DL). Jackson Bennett as a safety/WIL/SAM. I think Brett Wade DT out of Calgary could play some snaps, rest of the DL pretty meh. Maybe Shepley and Korte at OL will challenge to get on the roster and field as rookies. Rest need time/will be chasing kicks. Beaulieu from Western killed the DB/REC special teams drill.

Bennett just beat Chapman to an out...man if we could get one of Onyeka or Bennett we'd be laughing.

Onyeka killing everyone but Chapman.

Chapman and Simonise putting a lot of balls on the turf. Petermann looks special, as does Onyeka, the DB. Had a vision of the Bombers snagging Onyeka and pairing him with Loffler as kind of combo WIL's/Safety. I think Hall had that vision too based on his mug after Onyeka's 2nd rep in the ones on ones.

Alex Taylor getting some extra call outs from the coaches for reps.

Kwemo and Teitz dominating the kick cover drill.

O'Shea looks like a kid meeting Santa for special teams drills.

Marquee matchup DB's vs receivers coming up.

Both QB's really inaccurate. Picton throwing everything 500mph. Should get Buck and some of the CFL QB's hanging around to throw some balls so the RB's and receivers have a shot to show their stuff.

A few of the H-back types doing well in blocking, Tanner Green and David Mackie. Atlee Simon getting killed.

Coaches calling up guys for reps now...all Banner, Wade, Breton vs Korte, Shepley and Sceviour.

Banner can beat all these OL around the edge. Need to see some moves.

Korte has a bit of piss and vinegar about him. Wade is dominating every rep. Banner has showed some nice speed rush moves, but keep in mind most of these OL will not play in real CFL games.

Banner and Wade the only DL even getting off the line in the interior drill. McGlaun has a bit of push and motor but he's fat. Shepley and Korte looking best of OL.

Guys I'm watching closely today in 1 on 1's: Jackson Bennett DB Ottawa...guy is a freaking beast. Seen him play enough to know he's going to play in the CFL, just trying to figure out his ceiling. Dagogo Maxwell DB UBC...physical testing amazing, always has been, on-field hasn't matched. Godfrey Onyeka DB Laurier...WIL body, moves like a DB. Bo Banner DE Central Washington...in a class by himself among DE's in this combine physically. Want to see how he matches up to the OL here. Micah Teitz LB Calgary...real impressed with his testing, overshadowed in Calgary over the years. The receivers vs DB's in general is going to be great. There's not a lot of separation in that group in testing.

Receiver/DB 1 on 1's will be real good in this one.

Real good group of DB's in this draft...some will likely end up as LB's, but real athletic.

Atlee Simon looks so weird running the 40, like he's running half speed. Runs real upright with and without the ball.

The context was cutting a guy like Flanders to make cap space for Muamba. I disagree on Lafrance. Demski maybe could play Flanders role. Lafrance is nowhere near as dynamic. Honestly have no idea of how he'd play the receiver side of that role. I've watched him play and coached against him since he was 14 and have never seen him run routes as a receiver. Lafrance really gives the Bombers a backup for Harris that won't completely throw the gameplan out the window and a guy who is still a really solid special teamer.

And it shouldn't be too hard to have 2 Canadians on the field on D with the depth of decent players we have, plus anyone added in the draft. That's all it is. They don't have to designate certain positions as Canadian. For ultimate flexibility, 5 on O and 2 on D looks best to me with an extra Canadian used on O quite often.

To me with the way free agency is (no restricted free agency) every draft pick is 2-3 years with their original team at best whether they are hitting CFL free agency or heading south. The draft is getting less and less important as free agency becomes crazier.

Lafrance basically replaces Normand on the roster and allows them to use more packages involving guys like Flanders. You don't really save a whole lot of cap space by cutting a running back to sign a linebacker because you still have to replace the running back on the roster. Say you cut Flanders and replace him with a rookie receiver or running back on the 44 man roster, you maybe save $20,000.

If Simonise actually fell out of the top 5 picks I hope it’s the Bombers who are the team smart enough to give him a shot. The guy has it all and is a player too. He’s done with the NFL until he does something up here so it’s a perfect scenario to grab a guy with that talent IMO.

And on top of it essentially fine the ignorant (if we take them at their word) Lions $70,000 in cap space.
