Esks jumped us for 2 good DBs.

Jordan Beaulieu could be our pick.

Those 14-15-16 picks are going to have great CFL careers. Wouldn't have minded seeing any of them in Blue and Gold.

Hamilton is loading up. Wade and Bennett are great players.

I don't know about the character stuff, testing positive, leaving school before that. All I know is that he'll have to earn any playing time he gets here and that bodes well for us. He's got guys like Harris and Bowman who weren't the brightest bulbs when they were young either to take notes from.

Hodge is dumb. You need Canadians that can play all over the roster. I want to get a CFL GM so I can do an experiment and never draft an OL. I bet my team would be great. All American OL and a bunch of Canadians rotating through 7 spots elsewhere.

Wow, swing for the fences!

Maybe next round.

Petermann or Mackie.

Onyeka would be great for us, the DB not the DL.

These OL runs in CFL Drafts are basically a meme now. There's a few guys in this draft who are high end who aren't OL, and there's a few of these OL who are going to bust hard. But everyone just takes OL.

Calgary probably goes DB here, Bennett or Onyeka. Fortunate to have the run on OL ahead of them.

Looking good for the Bombers to have their pick of receiver, DB or RB at 12.

Jonestown must be comfortable to pick a player who won't be in the CFL for probably a couple years at least.

Bombers use one of their first couple picks on a tight end-H Back type. Book it.

Because every team has the players ranked exactly the same.

It’s not that linear. It’s not like they are going to hire extra OL coaches or something. Sure there’s a cost to having players at training camp I guess, but weird way to look at it. The draft picks have no monetary value.

Pretty typical from what I know thus far, but I mean that could be a high 2019 pick given what BC looks like headed into this season. I’d have a hard time seeing them finish higher than 4th in the West unless Jennings gets back on track.

I wonder if Fantuz still wants to play. He's a type of receiver we don't really have.

Henoc is a classic bad team player. Good player, always going to be on bad teams because the good teams won’t put up with him. It’s pretty simple when a team says here’s the role we have, here’s the money. You want to be a part of it or you don’t.

Considering pretty much the only guys they can really evaluate in mini camp are receivers and DB's...don't get too horny for "12 new DBs and 11 new receivers." At least half won't make training camp.

Pretty good chance the Bombers would have made the last two Grey Cups if they were in the East too. They would have needed one playoff win at home each year. Gotta talk apples if you're going to make that comparison.

The only backwards move this off-season IMO is swapping Bond for Neufeld. I'm hopeful about Couture and Spooner but I know Neufeld sucks. I feel it's quite likely they'll end up playing 3 imports at some point this season. I just hope it happens before Nichols gets ruined. No other move is negative. In terms of NI's the draft is still upcoming and they've basically moved two spots to offense from defense. They have accumulated a ton of NI talent, guys who are great special teamers who they've developed into role players on D. In my opinion they need to add a NI DL who can potentially take some snaps, but there's also a strong possibility they dress 5 import defensive linemen with Corney and Ekakatie. They have Jeffcoat and many of the new Americans coming in for training camp are those end types who can slide inside and play 3 technique for pass rush. Westerman was overpaid and while he brought some intangibles also brought a lot of negative plays to the field that almost negated the big plays he could make. They also need to add a blocking back to replace Normand but there are at least 2 and probably 3 in this draft who could fill the role (Mackie, Moisan, Green) plus Lafrance and Thera-Plamandon. To me there is quite of bit of room to improve over the past couple years with import scouting. Seems like they've been quite aggressive in bringing in CFL veteran free agents to fill some of those gaps, but it would be really nice to find a quality receiver, linebacker (and continued growth from JSK), a true rush end.

I think one of the most obvious picks is the Bombers picking an H-back type to replace Normand. Maybe Dubois is that guy.

I hope we are done with the import kick returner who can’t catch punts or play receiver spot on the roster. That’s McDuffie and a worse version in Lankford.
