    McDuffie was also productive when given the opportunity to play receiver mid-season.  I agree about Mayo and they should be able to pick him up after the Riders cut him if they still want him.  They kept Shepherd over Mayo but he hasn't shown as much as a receiver IMO, despite being better on ST.

    Bombers just couldn't hold the Mayo.

    Auclair is an interesting enough anomaly that he would be worth a second-rounder. No one really uses a tight end any more but that might work in Auclair's favour if he has a creative offensive coach.

    Vince Young has nothing on this guy, Ogden hasn't played in 10 years but a CFL GM recently contacted him to invite him to camp.   Oh, sweet Fairy God Mother let it be Jones!

    I am having a harder and harder time believing that the Gleiberguys are not behind the scenes in Regina.

    high receiver draft picks always seem to get injured early in the season and end up watching on the sidelines all year.  At least when we pick them anyway.  Or they just stink, like Harry Potter Etienne.

    Wouldn't a better movie  reference have been ," A Series of Unfortunate Events"?

    Combine Info from Ed Tait

    I came here to play football, not run a race. - Evan Foster 

    The University of Manitoba Bisons defensive lineman was arguably the busiest prospect at Evraz Place on Saturday, taking reps in the trenches and impressing with his speed off the edge, and then being switched to linebacker for another look-see from CFL teams intrigued by his athleticism.

    Listed at 6-1, 245, Foster flashed his skills at end. But his quickness seems to be intriguing CFL scouts and he had a hint he would get some work at linebacker after doing interviews with all teams except Edmonton on Thursday.

    Also meeting with all CFL teams was Nate Behar.
    “It was kinda fun,” he said. “Some of them try to goad you and get under your skin a little bit. But I’m an easygoing guy and so I don’t think I took the bait on any of that. None of them were really negative… they just tried to show some bad plays. You’ve just got to admit your flaws and tell them you’ll be ready to go by May 25th.

    Here are a handful of guys that jumped out for Ed Tait of bluebombers.com (in no particular order):

    Danny Vandervoort, WR, McMaster: Really popped off the page; no drops, great hands.

    Junior Luke, DT, Montreal: Had his moments in the one-on-ones, flashing an ability to overpower O-linemen.

    Kwabena Asare, LB, Carleton: Very raw, but he’s got size at 6-8, 296. A project type OL.

    Nathaniel Behar, WR, Carleton: There’s speed there and a great base of athleticism.

    Mark Mackie, DL, McMaster: It’s tough to project him as anything but a special teams guy, but his performance in one-on-ones might have moved him at least onto the radar as a later-round pick.

    Braden Schram, OL, Calgary: Very steady in the trenches.

    Johnny Augustine, RB, Guelph: Walters noted that his pass protection looked like it needed work on his game film. Not an issue at the combine.

    Ed Tait also supplies the Top 3 finishers in each category for:
    40 Yard Dash 
    Bench Press
    Vertical Leap
    Broad Jump
    Shuttle 
    3 Cone Drill

    Interesting- thanks, but it sounded like Hoover didn't suck too badly.

    The Waggle audio on Chris Jones:

    "Chris likes motorcycles and has a cool garage where he rebuilds, repairs and tinkers with them. He’s a pretty good cook, he was smoking BBQ on our first night in Tennessee and it was the best barbecue I’ve ever had.

    He’s a ‘more the merrier’ type of guy and loves having his staff,  players and family around.

    He’s grateful for football and for this league. Chris talks on The Waggle about the government housing he grew up in down the street from his home. He drove Max and I by during our visit and it was a raw experience I could hardly believe we were sharing. He makes it clear he never forgets where he came from and is  proud of what he’s accomplished. But Chris is humble, truly."

     

    Jones...humble,,,hmmm...somewhere several bovine excrement detectors have gone off.
