There is absolutely no way we trade Greaves. It would be monumentally stupid for Walters to do so. I don't think he is stupid, but I do think that Winnipeg Sun sportswriters trying to meet a deadline on a slow news day can be. This is pure fiction.

I'm not surprised at the Booker release. It is what I hoped for. We needed to upgrade our DEs.

Duane Slay was a victim of internal Bomber politics. The guy was a future DPOY. At least if you believed the hype that is......

Some players will go home, some will stay. If the Bombers were to draft solely on the basis of a players hometown we wouldn't have too many CFL capable NIs. It's a myth perpetuated by Rider fans that they all come home to play for them. For some odd reason a lot of people here seem to buy into it. They lose as many NI FAs as they get....that's a fact of life for most CFL teams that allow their players to enter FA. I can think of far more CFL NIs hailing from Saskatchewan that play elsewhere than there are Saskatchewan born NIs on the Riders.

I'm not sure why anyone would be overly concerned that he signed a two year deal. Was he supposed to play under his rookie contract for life?

He did exactly what I thought he would in the first two picks. After that I don't know if it's good or bad. Have no idea who the guys are that we drafted. Really stoked we got Chungh, as the more and more I read about him the more and more I hoped he would be our guy. That makes the draft a win in my books. In so far as you can measure wins the day after the draft that is.

I don't think anyone would. I would find it hard to believe that Hus would be the difference maker in any draft day trade scenario. However, wth do I know, look what Taman did today...

After some thought, I am quite angry with Walters right now. We could have traded Cronk and our 3rd rounder next year and gotten Watson back and the Riders 2nd rounder next year. lmao. Imagine that one for a minute. Could you imagine the bloody murder that Rider fans would be screaming after that.

If Hus finds NFL work and doesn't sign with the Riders maybe we can pry away Taman's 2nd rounder in 2017 for Cronk. Only half kidding.

He called a press conference to say that?

What was said? I tried the link just now but it must be over.

Ok....who needs OL anyway. Let's not get any and repeat the cycle of draft failure that we have been swimming in since the mid 90s.

I think that he struggled at times last season. No doubt about it. No more so than any other rookie starting QB would though. I think his development was right on pace for where we wanted and needed it to be. For the first time since after the 2007 season, I see the QB position as a low concern for the team. Willy will need to be better than last year, I think he will be. I think a lot of what went wrong for him last year was growing pains and having inferior talent around him. I, also, have faith that Brohm or Marve can step up if Willy regresses badly. Other fish to fry this offseason. Hopefully, it can get done now that the focus is removed from QB by our scouts.

Elaborate? Every player is being challenged for their starting spot during TC.

Bloodline probably gets him drafted I think. I do agree with your assessment that he doesn't necessarily deserve it, but in the 5th or 6th rounds a team may take a flyer on him due to his last name. If Jordan Reaves can get a tryout based solely on his lineage, it could work for Ralph in the draft as well.

If the Bombers truly do have Demski as their highest rated prospect, I sure hope Walters has the good sense to try and trade back later into the first round and try secure another 2nd round pick instead of taking him at 2. I truly don't see him going in the top 8 unless we select him.

I am pretty excited by some of the players that never received an NFL contract that I thought for sure would. I think the potential for the NFL raiding our first round picks through their draft and as UFAs has been pretty low. Lots of great guys still available and looking likely to be in the CFL this year. I can't see a scenario where the Bombers don't come away with 3 great prospects on draft day barring trade.

Pretty much every mock draft and all indicators from CFL camps like the one out of Hamilton suggest the first round will be OL dominated. Not saying a guy like Demski can't slip into a high slot but I do think that it is unlikely.

could see it, average at best against the run for a DT Coming off a pretty significant injury as well.

He hadn't signed a contract at the time of the CFL draft though. Drafted May 6th and signed with green bay on May 10th. Oh right. My mistake. I thought he had signed prior to the draft or it was well known he would There was NFL interest in Mulumba prior to the CFL draft. It was fairly well known that there was a strong possibility that Mulumba was going to Green Bay. Mack simply didn't think he would stick. He rolled the dice and lost. I still maintain that Mack was working off of inside knowledge from Dom Capers on Green Bay's interest in Mulumba. Mulumba at the end of the day beat the odds.

My surprise cut is.....Greg Peach.

Partially true. They hope to uncover a diamond in the rough, but for the most part it is a giant waste of time for the NFL teams as far as recruitment goes. Very few unsigned players ever receive contract offers from mini-camp.

Thanks for the heads up.

I really don't think that many of the guys at the Giants mini-camp stand much of a chance. It literally looks like they just lifted a copy of the CFL top prospects and invited them all to have a look. It appears they will have 75 players at this mini-camp consisting of undrafted free agents. Sounds to me that this is more like the open tryouts we run down south as opposed to real and true legitimate interest. The Giants may have just sent out a mass e-mail to all known undrafted free agents in hopes they will get 75 of them to come. lol
