Reminds me of the year the Riders picked David Onyamata later in the draft.  A gamble that never paid off but no real damage.
Need a better punter, though.  Tough to cover this line drive kicks.

I can't recall it ever happening before. Odd indeed.
The year the Riders picked Onyemata was different than us taking a flyer on Manu. They had very poor NAT starters and depth and only had a few picks that year. It was a dumb choice by them given the circumstances. For us, having 10 draft picks, a flyer/future pick or two was almost compulsory  because there is no way we can roster 10 new NATs anyway. I guess my point is that whether or not a flyer is an acceptable pick or not isn't so much what round it was done, although that's a factor, it can be a good pick or bad pick based on team need for players as well.

This is exactly why I like the Manu pick... worst case scenario he never comes north and he is exactly like the players listed above... best case scenario, he shows up here in a few years and we have a very good Canadian that can play tackle...

That's a very good thing... as long as you're talking about the 24-30 year old version of Jake...
I don't pretend to know anything about the prospects but some of the resident experts around here seem to really like Brubacher... I wonder if we could've drafted the second round like this:
13 - Clercius
14 - Chris-Ike  Brubacher
17 - Wallace
20 - Samson   Chris-Ike
Still end up with WR, RB, OL, DL but potentially an upgrade at DL... just a thought

Dublanko #1.  I’m shocked, chocked I tell you.

Fir sure? There are people pining to know. Perhaps you could spruce up your comment a bit, wooden you?

Here's a cut at a 2 round mock draft.  Taking realistic projection on guys who are going to be in NFL.
1. Edmonton- Curtis Dublanko LB
2. Ottawa- Dumoulin-Duguay OL 
3. Sask- Kevin Mital Receiver
4. Calgary- Tyson Hergott DE
5. Toronto- Kevens Clercius Receiver
6. BC- Luke Brubacher DE
7. Hamilton- Michael Chris-Ike RB
8. Winnipeg- George Una OL
9. Montreal- Benjamin Labrosse DB
10. Edmonton- Gabe Wallace OL
11. Ottawa- Geoffrey Cantin-Arku LB
12. Sask- Daniel Okpoko DL
13. Calgary- Nick Mardner Receiver
14. Calgary- Kyle Hergel OL
15. BC- Christy Nkanu OL
16. Hamilton- Owen Mueller OL
17. Winnipeg- Melique Straker LB 
18. Edmonton- D'Sean Mimbs Receiver
19. BC- Theo Benedet OL
20. Winnipeg- Jared Chisari RB

So apparently Lemon is suspended indefintely for betting on CFL games. Explains the abrupt retirement.

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

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

Nothing better than a nil-nil ending with players writhing on the ground all over the field in response to a gust of wind.

Love the name of the Podcast, classic.

You’re better than that. Post reported 

I assure you I am not...

Brubacher falls in the same category I think and maybe Una
This draft appears to be much stronger in depth than recent years, we should be able to get 3 good players.
By the way good post M Silverback, interesting to get an informed take, I'll probably use it in my next 3 down article😉

How do you manage to spell Ferguson three different ways in the same post? 

I would prefer that we drafted three FBs instead. 

If you swap out every letter in Pete for a different letter, it spells John
 
stay woke people 

below are the 
Projected Cdns as of this date
 Starters:   Olivera     Demski      Neufeld     Kolankowski      Eli      Wolitarski   Lawton 
primary backups: Kramdl  Hallet   Augustine   Dobson   Thomas    Ford    Gautier    Murphy   Bennet
special teams Caldwader. Benson, Kelly
above account for 19 of 21 starters, 2 of which Jones and Kramdl may also become starters if needed
on the bubble: Smeckle,  Beeksma, Charboneau Hallet, Macdougall
Of the 19 starters I would say we could use upgrades on Bennet, and  Thomas,  With 10 draft picks we are in decent shape
