There's one! Are you making your picks from the toilet again?

Bombers can now draft two FB's to fill their glaring need - Hodge (probably).

13, 14, 17 & 20 now. Only thing I don't like is having to wait longer! 😂

O'Day says hold my beer and drafts a guy who might not be up here at all!

Pre-season yes but regular season will depend on where you are. The CFL Plus page says: https://www.cfl.ca/plus/

Yes but some people don't care about facts.

I feel full just reading that name! Used to go there for work lunches every so often and never left extremely satisfied and extremely unproductive for the rest of the day. Definitely could have used an afternoon nap on those days! 😂

I agree that DL is more of a immediate priority but the draft isn't a great place to address immediate needs as there are very few players that can step right in and make an impact. I mean we took Bennett because he was the most "pro-ready" DL available and we saw what he did. The rational for a receiver isn't bad (IMO) and it's very similar to our OL needs. We have aging players in both spots (Demski, Neufeld) that will need to be replaced at some point and we've lost a couple of depth guys (BOLO, Gray) so it makes sense to get a couple more guys in the pipeline.

No different than when we took Ford. If he eventually receives legitimate NFL interest, he'll be allowed to explore it (either released by the club or as a FA). Is it any more risky than drafting someone from another province and worrying about how long until they want to go play at home?

3DN did a live 2 round mock draft yesterday and I thought it was a good listen. They had Hodge, Abbott & Ben Grant each picking for 3 teams over the first two rounds. It was interesting for me since we now have a better idea about NFL prospects and the fact that they were picking against each other, it forced them to change their picks on the fly if someone they had lined up was taken as GM's would in real life. Here's how they picked: Round 1 1) Edmonton - Joel Dublanco, LB - Cincinnati (Hodge) 2) Ottawa - Kevin Mital, WR - Laval (Grant) 3) Saskatchewan - Geoffrey Cantin-Arku, LB - Memphis (Abbott) 4) Calgary - Nathaniel Dumoulin-Dugay, OL - Laval (Hodge) 5) Toronto - Kyle Hergl, OL - Boston College (Grant) 6) BC - Benjamin Labrosse, DB - McGill (Abbott) 7) Hamilton - Daniel Opoko, DL - San Diego State (Grant) 8) Winnipeg - George Una, OL - Windsor (Hodge) 9) Montreal - Christy Nkannu, OL - Washington State (Abbott) Round 2 10) Edmonton - Nick Mardner, WR - Auburn (Hodge) 11) Ottawa - Gabe Wallace, OL - Buffalo (Grant) 12) Saskatchewan - Luke Brubacher, DL - Wilfred Laurier (Abbott) 13) Calgary - Tyson Hergott, DL - Waterloo (Hodge) 14) Calgary - Christophe Beaulieu, DB - Laval (Hodge) 15) BC - John Bosse, OL - Calgary (Abbott) 16) Hamilton - Kevens Clercius, WR - Connecticut (Grant) 17) Winnipeg - Theo Benedet, OL - UBC (Hodge) 18) Edmonton - Michael Chris-Ike, RB - Delaware State (Hodge) 19) BC - Nick Wiebe - LB Saskatchewan (Abbott) 20) Winnipeg - Dhel Duncan-Busby, WR - Bemidji State (Hodge) https://3downnation.com/2024/04/28/3downnation-podcast-2024-cfl-mock-draft-live/

Argos lose Stiggers to the Jets in the 5th. Tanner McLaughlin to the Bengals in the 6th.

Might be more draft picks than udfa this year. Manu just went in the 4th to Detroit (who moved up to get him) and he was not expected to go that early. Most people had him as a late round pick.

Theo Johnson goes in the 4th to the Giants.

First Canadian has been taken in the NFL draft this year. Isaiah Adam goes in the 3rd round to the Cardinals.

Curious is being kind. Usually the mocks get better on the second go round... Not in this case.

His kid is draft eligible this year... He may want to take that trophy home!

Might be confusing Devonte Williams for Devonte Dedmon.

I see you are unfamiliar with Farhan Lalji! 😂 I don't think anyone can compete with him in that area, it's just that the rest of the TSN crew might be closer to his level of nut hugging this season.

Yep, plus it doesn't matter who they have in the backfield if they refuse to run the ball. It might balance their offense better on paper, but it doesn't mean much until BC shows they're willing to change their play calling.

Spotters need to pull Butler (Sask at #1) & Lewis (Edmonton at #2) to check for concussions.

Like any good mob boss, he already (allegedly) runs the show from the background. I doubt he would want to change that.

Must be because that profit for the Riders was very much inflated by the Grey Cup. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/roughriders-profit-reaches-all-time-high-of-10-4m-agm-hears-1.2671668

Totally forgot about that one!

Only watched the first episode but it looks like it'll be a good one. Enjoyed the games so I'm looking forward to seeing where the show goes.
