They could have given the MOP to Brady who'd be an excellent face of the CFL but they gave it to King Douchebag.

That Canadian punter doesn't really exist.  There'd be 9 teams chasing that player.  
The only Canadian punter last year was Jake Julien.  Everyone else was Aussie or import.
Could try Castillo.

I’m curious how we use our DI spots this year. Do we have a single one of our regular DI guys from last year signed currently? 
 

I expect the Bombers to end up with 2-3 legit players out of both drafts along the DL.  Hopefully one rush end type, one nose, one more versatile type.
There will be guys available in the 5th round of this draft who are better CFL prospects than Bennett.

Cannot understand how McRae was kept around as long as he has been, unless he worked for minimum wage. He may be multi-talented ,but usually that means he isn't real good at anything at particular.

An automatic ticket to the Grey Cup is what I’ve heard.

My greatest fear is that the Saskatchewan Roughriders sign Damian Jackson.

So we left around 75k on the table....damn...that would have given us a good upgrade somewhere. Oh well, hopefully we go 99,999 over this year. I don't mind if we pay the luxury payroll tax as long as we win doing so.

Why isn't it May yet? 

Our QB stable is best in league.....people are under valuing Strev big time....and he got handed that "not a passer" tag really for no particular reason other than from what lapo tried to morph him into in his second yr...That signing is gonna prove to be huge.
Barriere as well is as legit a prospect coming to Canada as there has been in yrs...I was shocked we actually got him signed as heard he had quite a few camp prospects, but I think he took the Strev route and didn't wanna be a camp arm, with no real legit opportunity, and deal with NFL polotics...win win for us.
The beauty of this yr is this will help ZC immensely if not for the fact he is not gonna try to play outside himself like last year and have those forced errors...as he has a Legit guy now behind him chomping at the bit....and the heavy rotation we will see is also gonna add to his effectiveness
Havnt really went over the roter much as of late as have been back and forth from Cali, but looking forard to as some have mentioned what Thompson could bring, as well if Grant is not back Cruickshank, who is a lil more polished all around.
My guy tho who is under the radar and should be one to watch is Chris Smith....he's a legit as legit talent as we have brought up in yrs too, and can see him cracking the roster in some capacity...he is also a legit returner and was highly ranked as such for the NFL...legit break away speed and can be that multi tool guy that we tried to turn Mcrae into....But Smith is so much better.
Curious how we approach the global draft, as well as the CIS one...there are 2 legit dline guys in the global pool who I believe can step right in as a rotation piece, as well as contribute on teams...and I still have this feeling we are gonna do some draft day moves. This ys camp is gonna be interesting as there are jobs to be had, and actual talent brought in to take the spots, and possibly realy push some vets
 

He’s a beast. The best first year cfl prospect we have, and we have a bunch of guys who were on nfl rosters and very well thought of. 
He should’ve gotten way more looks down south. 

interesting quote from draftdiamonds scouting report
Synopsis: Eric Barriere is a stronger quarterback prospect than fellow Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams, who ultimately spent time playing in the CFL.  While he may not project as a first round pick, he is the type of player that represents a strong value and investment on draft day.  Barriere stands out as one of the top, if not the top, prospects in FCS football heading into the draft, and while he does have room to develop, he also showcases the work ethic necessary to grow.  His best fit is on a team with an older established starter where he will have a season or two to learn the system before being thrust into a starting role, but his ceiling is not that of a career backup

Now now...Riderfans says that our QB's suck. (I have no idea actually but I am just assuming)...

Does he work with Kamau Peterson, code name: Hands of Stone?

Their case manager/boss is Mike Kelly, and all of their targets are "handled internally".   When someone needs to be liquidated, it's a "non-issue".

Redbkacks Williams out for season with an Achilles injury. Sucks for them as he was pretty dynamic. Wonder if they reach out to Grant

Added former UAB WR Myron Mitchell today 

and he's already got a park named after him just outside Winnipeg so that's a good omen....
The first TD he throws at the 30 second mark - looks very familiar to another QB who threw a similar pass against Calgary a few years ago...hmmm...trying to remember...lol

Ah Dough Alert, forgot about him.

Well, that pretty much sums it up. Time to shut this thread down. 😀
