Nkanu played 90 snaps at Washington State. Basically didn't play at all. Great career at Southern Utah. Not sure athletic enough to be much of a player. Hope BC takes him.

There's going to be a lot more guys who never come north with the roster changes in the NFL and the current CBA here. Think we've already seen that post 2020. Guys are going to take their run at NFL and move on with their lives sitting on half a million USD.

Well he's talking about Jared Wayne who has already spent a full year down south. Small likelihood he ever ends up in the CFL. He's already made more than he will on his first CFL contract. If he can bounce between NFL rosters, PR's etc for 4-5 years he'll make more money than if he had a solid career here for a decade.

Ferguson can't be as stupid as some of the points he tries to make? A guy heading into a NFL training camp this year will be in CFL this year? No ******* chance. These guys have agents. Deep draft though. Sask has basically no Canadian impact players right now. A couple receivers who can't stay healthy. Could have taken any number of guys on D or someone like Mital. Almost unbelievable that Ottawa and Sask would be the teams to grab futures guys this early.

Calgary resigned to playing 3 American OL. Probably hoping to start 3 Canadians on D and will be collecting guys to do that...one DB, one LB, one DL. Don't think teams are too hot on this OL class....at least the guys who will be CFL players.

This kind of **** is pre-draft show. When the draft is on give us draft picks.

Would be nice if Dumoulin-Duguay dropped down to us. Otherwise I'd like Brubacher or Hergott. Think we can get a receiver in 2nd round. If Mital is there though he'd be hard to pass on.

Well we are going to have a chance to get someone good at 8 since Ottawa and Sask decided to pick guys that both have NFL opportunity and are committed to taking their shot down there.

Ottawa is not a team that can use a 2nd overall pick on a futures guy. Would be surprised if Mardner is up here this year. Riders pick a NFL player 3rd overall hahahaha

20 mins and only one pick. NFL doesn't move this slow.

Think Ottawa goes OL. They have a bunch of OL signed but they all stink aside from Desjarlais. Need a real talent infusion there. Get the Laval guy who will be your guard Day 1. Dublanko is sitting in Edmonton and the media doesn't even know.

No reason to not have Edmonton on the clock 5 minutes before this goes to air.

Who the **** is Baker?

I don't know why the hell the draft doesn't start at 7 eastern. The people who want to watch it will find it. It's not the kind of thing people are randomly going to stop on.

NFL taking all the Globals too. Should make a deal with them where they can loan guys over so they get to play and not sit on PR down there.

Last years draft was not a good one. In terms of receiver/running back we want to start 3 Canadians there and we have 3 starting level players. We need depth there today as well as thinking into next year and beyond. Exact same issue with OL.

Well if you sign him he's here for 2 years same as anyone else.

Very interested to see Bombers pick. I think aside from Dumoulin-Duguay there's not a lot to pick between the OL who will be available through about Round 3. Nkanu is probably most pro ready but no upside at all. But there's a lot of guys who could be significant players on D and at receiver available. Say with that 3Down mock exercise....if Brubacher is on the board for us in the first round I don't see them passing him over for a guy who probably isn't good enough to dress this year at OL. Could grab a similar level of OL prospect at end of Round 2.

It’s a great OL class. So great it might produce 4 NFLers. I actually think the guy most likely to end up without NFL work is Benedet but he’s been pretty staunch about pursuing the NFL so I don’t think he’ll be back soon. They also have 15 guy PR’s now so hard to get guys back. I think Hergel will stick. Will develop as a center who can play all over if needed.

A lot of those DL have no explosion which is going to severely limit their ability to compete in the CFL. Sambu and Obiang showed very poorly at the combine...and the competition level was not strong with OL there. One guy I can see getting a bit of a bump in Onyeka from Carleton. I think most teams will see him as an interior guy. He played end in U Sports but is kind of that Wiggan type body. He'll add 20-25 lbs. Omanuwa from Laurier had a good combine. See him being one of the first interior guys off the board. Hubert from Mac too. He's another guy who played more edge in U Sports but will be an interior guy in CFL. Of course Sambu being a NCAA guy will have some bias behind where he lands. I don't see him being a CFLer at all. The guys that come into the combine in such poor condition is a huge red flag.

Problem is there's like one guy who is ready to play who will likely be in CFL camp in May, Dumoulin-Duguay. Una is a maybe. Nkanu I think will not be much of a pro, decent feet, very weak hands. Wallace too is another medium floor, very low ceiling type. Doesn't really have CFL OL skills in terms of movement. Most teams will want guys who can play pretty quick. And there's not really a Dayton Black type in this draft who is raw but with huge upside. Maybe like a Bosse or Mueller. But lower upside.

Here's a cut at a 2 round mock draft. Taking realistic projection on guys who are going to be in NFL. 1. Edmonton- Curtis Dublanko LB 2. Ottawa- Dumoulin-Duguay OL 3. Sask- Kevin Mital Receiver 4. Calgary- Tyson Hergott DE 5. Toronto- Kevens Clercius Receiver 6. BC- Luke Brubacher DE 7. Hamilton- Michael Chris-Ike RB 8. Winnipeg- George Una OL 9. Montreal- Benjamin Labrosse DB 10. Edmonton- Gabe Wallace OL 11. Ottawa- Geoffrey Cantin-Arku LB 12. Sask- Daniel Okpoko DL 13. Calgary- Nick Mardner Receiver 14. Calgary- Kyle Hergel OL 15. BC- Christy Nkanu OL 16. Hamilton- Owen Mueller OL 17. Winnipeg- Melique Straker LB 18. Edmonton- D'Sean Mimbs Receiver 19. BC- Theo Benedet OL 20. Winnipeg- Jared Chisari RB

Because he is still a free agent and could play again. Could also coach.

Tait's a little drunk on McGhee and high on summertime.

Liegghio's punting cost them a Grey Cup. I think he was basically done here after that game.
