4th round pick: Tanner Schmekel, University of Regina (Regina, Ssk.) A monster in the middle for the Rams, Schmekel is a bull-strong, 290-pound gap plugger who is almost impossible to move off his spot. A team is liable to fall in love with his positional discipline and physicality on tape, but his below-average athletic ability and mere 30-inch arms limit his potential. https://3downnation.com/2023/04/28/2023-cfl-draft-position-rankings-defensive-linemen/

3rd round pick for the Bombers: https://3downnation.com/2023/03/22/2023-cfl-draft-profiles-concordia-rec-jeremy-murphy-has-confidence-back-after-2021-hamstring-tear/

Futures pick for the Argos.

Looking forward to hearing from Walters after the draft to find out what the thinking was behind the pick.

It's nice they are developing him and Mason Bennett for us. 😂

Future Bomber taken by the cats.

And yet both guy got that wrong and not because their picks were off the board either. Hodge had them taking Grohovac and Ferguson went with Sutherland.🤷

In case anyone is wondering. Hodge and Ferguson are a combined 1 out of 8 so far. Hodge got Bull right and that's it.

Saskatchewan needs: everything (front office included).

The SFU clown show has moved into the court room.

This. The draft means we are another step closer to the off-season being finished. We're now talking days instead of weeks or months.

Hodge has his final mock draft up. Both him & Ferguson have us taking Lake Corte-Moore. https://3downnation.com/2023/05/02/john-hodges-2023-cfl-mock-draft-2-0/

Lions sign Patrice Rene. Guess they're hoping his knee will hold up for more than a game or two.

A Canadian player (Robbie Smith) also got the Argos their GC win. That coach needs to go have a cup of STFU.

The defending champions and the Presidents Trophy winners both get bounced.

Yeah we talked about this when Ferguson first posted that. Not only is it inaccurate (Eli had already re-signed by that time) but choosing 6 years of data is pretty random and arbitrary. If he uses 5 years, the stats are way different.

The hit on Cogliano, from his former teammate Jordan Eberle. Only got a two minute penalty. ☹️

NFL draft is done, now to see if anyone gets picked up as a free agent.

Nope. They may have in theatre food/drink service one day (it was advertised as a feature when it was announced) but it's not a thing yet. Landmark now has "premiere" seating which has the heated seats and stuff. Checking out Dungeons and Dragons there tomorrow, and will be in those seats so we'll see how they are.

Chase Brown breaks the record, going in the 5th round, 163rd overall to the Bengals.
