    He was our best RB throughout camp. Really quick and able to find seams.

    My guess is MLB is an import and WIL is Hurl/Newman/Briggs.

    I see Willy having a big year with the rule changes and improved OL. Sign him now or his cost is only going to increase.

    Bomber equivalent - Kohlert and Thomas down for the season...  that's a bit of a cold shower.

    Peach might've been our best DL last year. I recall a few games sitting the stands and going, somewhat to my surprise: 'Woah! Peach." I like him. Tough. Hits hard.

    What good is an OL when your receivers can't get open or catch the ball?  Bombers are going receiver with the 2nd overall pick.

    Vega just didn't produce enough, he had a really poor season.  Morley was just a matter of time.
     
    I still don't get all the Greg Peach hate here.  I expect him to start and have another career season, likely will hit double digits in sacks if he stays healthy.

    Receivers Tyrone Goard and Toney Clemons. RB Da'rel Scott. OT's David Mims and Zebrie Sanders. DT Nate Collins. LB's Shamari Benton and Tra'Shaun Nixon.
    Those would be my top guys to keep an eye on.

    If I had to guess today? I'd say best case scenario is they flip 11 + something (maybe a pick next year?) to move up into the 5-8 range and then go
     
    1. Best OL (I'd take Chungh at this point)
    Acquired pick Demski
    15. Nic Shortill or Shaq M-L
     
    I feel like they're going to wait until the 30s to go after some defensive guys where they could look at guys like Abdesmad (depending on how his recovery goes)
     
    So much depth in this draft class
     
    RB - Varga, Murray-Lawrence, Rea, Campbell, Normand
    REC - Demski, Durant, Richards, Harty, Norzil, Johnson, Abankwah
    OL - Mateas, Boyko, Chungh, McEwen, Allison, Groulx, Ruby, Bodanis, Lavoie
    DL - Waud, Forde, Tennant, Mrabure-Ajufo, Lattanzio, Connop, Blanc, Abdesmad
    LB - Shortill, Ackie, Archambeault, Konar, Johnson, Omara, Smith
    DB - Janke, Adjei, Campbell
     
    That we could end up acquiring 5 of these guys blows my mind.

    LeFevour was good for Hamilton last year.  Without him they don't make the Grey Cup.  IMO, he's the guy who finally convinced Austin to take the shackles off his mobile QB's.  They signed a stable of scrambling QB's and ran an offence early in the season that forced them to exclusively pass from the pocket.  LeFevour made a ton of plays with his legs and arm when he got a chance and the TiCats scheme did a 180 by the time Collaros came back.

    Didn't notice Maxx Forde was on the list now. Must have skipped over that the first time.
     
    That's a huge addition to the draft class. I'm not going to say he's a lock for top 10 at this point because there's a ton of talent, but he's up there.
     
    Alondra Johnson's kid is a LB for the University of South Dakota, he'll probably get a combine invite too because he just got approved for Canadian status.

    The NFL has their version of TCF too.  Before camp even starts or the last day of it, it just seems unlikely to me that he survives all the roster cuts he will need to to stick with the Ravens this year.  No PR eligibility left, and there will be players of similar quality that the Ravens can sign for cheaper.  Unless he had a helluva offseason training, we're probably firing up another Bilukidi thread in about 6 months.

    You think they keep all of them around? Unless Grigsby got some balls surgically added in the offseason he's not as good as the other two guys.

    If Hurl is such a strong prospect for a starting LB spot, why did the Riders trade Ricky Foley for Emry (with concussion issues) instead of electing to keep both Hurl and Foley?
    No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time.

    I'm worried that Hurl is penciled in as the starter and that they won't bring in an FA competition for the MLB spot.  Hurl would then only have to beat a CFL rookie for the starting spot.  Still might be a huge problem for him based on last years play.

    That Mulumba draft all the top guys gave the NFL a try basically and Mulumba was one of the ones they didn't think had much of a chance to stick, but he did. Worthwhile gamble IMO.

    Doublezero reacted to gbill2004 in Bombers 2015 ratio   
    Kyle Walters has set up the Bombers to have some nice non-import (National) depth in 2015, to the point where we'll be in a position to possibly start 8 Canadians, where the requirement is only 7. At the least coach Oshea will be in a position to have some solid options. Here's how I see the options breaking down:

    On offense, Bombers will likely start 5 Canadians:

    WR (2) - Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Bastien, Carter, Goodrich
    OL (3) - Greaves, Picard, Neufeld, Goossen, Everett

    My take is that after Kohlert and JFG, the depth at WR is a little thin, but as long as one of Bastien, Carter or Goodrich can step in and be an adequate replacement in case of injury, we'll be fine. Each of these three guys has nice upside, and could be legitimate starters, but it'll likely take a year or two for them to develop. I'm making the assumption here that Morley will retire. The depth at OL is solid, and with the likely addition of another Canadian OL from this years draft, we're in a good situation here.

    On defense is where it gets interesting. I like what Walters has done in giving the coaching staff 3 solid options as defensive starters, although we will likely only start 2 here:

    DB (1) - Bucknor, Jones
    LB (1) - Hurl, Newman, Briggs, Sherman (heard Sherman might transition to safety this year)
    DL (1) - Thomas, Brown, Richardson

    The extra Canadian depth on defense gives the coaching staff options, and additional flexibility in case there's an injury at Canadian WR. It's quite impressive what Walters has done with increasing the quality and depth of our Canadians over such a short period of time.

    In addition, if you add up all the names listed above, that's 19 Canadians and there's a requirement to have 20 on a game day roster. I didn't even list guys like Pondbriant, Liram, Cronk and Fitzgerald. Some really nice National depth.  No longer a need to have guys like Stephan or West on the roster.

    Still the same problem we had last year, IMO. No legit 7th Canadian starter. If Hurl can't be an every down starter then we are in trouble.
