Only 30 but over 100 nfl games. Man if he’s got any thing left that’s massive. I’d love to have him here. 
 
 
I’d take him but I’m sure we won’t even investigate. Sounded like Walters couldn’t imagine a way of fitting grant back in the budget. 
 
elk cut makonzo too. He’s solid especially as depth some one will grab him. 

Chandler Worthy cut buy MTL...wouldn't mind having him here for TC

Very sad news about Lyle Bauer.

Argo’s announce co defensive co-ordinators. Never works out well. 

I think Clercius and MCI make the AR this year and maybe Samson, although I don’t see them wanting to have 3 Canadian D tackles.
That’s good enough for me. Stick Wallace on the PR, hope he develops for 2025.
The rest, we’ll see. Maybe Hubert blows them away at camp and gets Bennett out of here as a rotational piece. 

So we filled the loss of BOLO, Filled the "loss" of Damian Jackson with a CDN, added some depth along both lines...no stand-out starts but depth that we hope one or two turn into staters one day....overall IMO a good draft when stepping back and looking at it. We didn't get any of the "sexy" name picks but IF the big name OL we took a flyer on ever comes up North.....
IMO no big swings, no immediate impact but just a good overall draft.

Think of Clercius as depth but also him and Chris-Ike as replacements for Mike Miller/Damian Jackson on O.  Let's hope they can be effective role players immediately.  Also BOLO replacement and cover in case Augustine hangs them up.
I can't see both Clercius and Chris-Ike not being on the roster.  They need to backfill BOLO.  I guess Murphy could be the guy.  Probably won't be dressing 7 OL either.

Here is Ed Tait's article on the draft.    Walters to meet with the media this morning to discuss the draft.

Gassama is a great kid.  
Don't know what he does in the CFL at 158 pounds even being a freaky athlete (but not very fast).  Feels like an obligatory pick a Winnipeg kid who plays for Bisons pick.

Big thanks to all our resident experts who provided great insight this evening for the rest of us dummies and to Jay for keeping everyone updated once the draft went online only. It's greatly appreciated!
Can't wait for summer... Can't wait for football. 

Last pick - DL Owen Hubert from McMaster.

Ton of investment into developmental OL. I really like it. 4 OL picks is a ton with a lot of different swings

I'm sure several players drafted will be in training camp and then return to school and be non-counters in 2025 camp. Happens every year

Sombach is a nice little pick for Calgary.  Undersized but a hell of a player.  Bet he plays some safety in this league.

Friendly reminder a kicker went before a player John Hodge mocked 2nd overall 
Gimme some Kail Dava or a guy like Daniel Johnson for a you never know pick 
Or a long snapper, sure

First 2 rounds took 2.5hrs. Third round took 2.5min…

Ok, that makes sense. I mean I'm still wondering who Jake Taylor is but Jim Baker (Um I mean Barker) is on TSN so Taylor must be good.

Yeah I mean I don’t think we manipulated the draft by going down but we got value and filled all the gaps. 

Ol DL in the 2nd round. I like it. Hopefully they can show something this year. 

Could’ve watched a full baseball game in the 90s by now. I can feel my self rot 

I feel like Chris-ike could have been available at 20.  BC taking Benedet was a no-brainer so that only left Hamilton Edmonton and BC again.  Do any of those teams need a Canadian RB?
