OK, I did it anyways... 2013: (1) Mulumba, (2) Robertson, (3) Fitzgerald, (4) DiCroce, (6) Stephen Alli, (7) Billy Pavlopolous 2012: (1) Pencer, (3) Aprile*, (3) Biukidi, (4) Rene Stephen, (4) Jake Thomas 2011: (1) Henoc, (1) Jade, (3) Brendan Dunn, (4) Swiston, (5) Volny, (6) Liam Mahoney 2010: (2) Watson, (4) Chris Smith, (4) Woodson, (6) Greaves Bold = still with team Italics = good player, or high potential *traded for Bucknor, so still valuable Please let me know if I missed anyone/pertinent details... I know Kito Poblah should fit in there somewhere but I forget where cuz he was a supplemental pick

I'm tempted to look back at the draft history under Mack... but terrified to see the results.... The only possible redeeming factor would be if one or all of Muamba, Mulumba, and Bilukidi become serviceable CFLers one day... or returns to all-star form in Muamba's case

The entire Lord Lyle, Young Brendan, Mike Kelly, Joe Mack era was a blight on this franchise. Almost a decade and a half of nothing but incompetence! It is disappointing that Taman basically "interned" here and when he was finally ready to be a real GM we cut him lose and now Saskie is reaping the benefits...

"Paris Cotton: Maybe a little too small to be the every-down back, but a classic scatback with all kinds of speed and game-breaker potential. Can return kicks and might prove effective catching the ball out of the backfield." This could've been the exact scouting report on Charles Roberts when he first came here...

This, along with Robertson, just continues to show what a black cloud the Joe Mack era was... really disappointing that these guys did turn out this way

This is exactly what I was thinking.... if Willy tweaks something and needs to sit the 2nd half, it'll be Hall... but if Willy suffers a serious injury and is out for the season (let's just hope this doesn't happen ) they may go to Marve.... assuming he keeps up his play from Monday night...

Interesting that everyone thinks Seattle is deep at receiver.... after Harvin there's a pretty steep drop... Balwdwin and Kearse are good up-an-comers, but not quite Pro Bowlers yet.... other than all the other rookie competition, he's got a decent shot at the PR at least.... Bilukidi would be a nice addition... maybe doesn't fit etch's system, but you gotta make it work

If he makes it as the 3rd stringer, I wonder if he gets consideration as the short yardage QB... probably a better option than Hall for that role

I much prefer Wild at the LB position than Dunn... not sure how Dunn ended up on top of the depth chart.... Considering our lack of NI depth I think Canadians will have to really stink out the joint to be quick cuts...

And the Jaymar Johnson go-out-of-bounds-2-yards-before-the-first-down debacle. I his defense, he was off-balance and tried to tip-toe as far down the line as possible but he lost his balance too early.... assuming we're thinking of the same play...

Speaking of Argos coaches, did anyone else notice that pot belly on Milonovich? Head coaching hours are really starting to get to that guy!... Another thing about Willy that I liked was when he rolled out his throws to the sideline got there quickly and without skipping.... I'm getting far too used to seeing a floater or a ball skip on it's way over

Not saying Brohm gets cut but he's PR at best right now...

Unless Brohm steps it up against Calgary I have a hard time believing the depth chart to start the season isn't (1) Willy (2) Hall (3) Marve...

two plays by WIlly stood out to me... 1) I didn't like that deep ball to Moore.... even if the throw was on target Moore was still lined up to be destroyed by the safety.... Willy just needs to recognize that coverage over the top... 2) loved when he handed off to Cotton (maybe it was Grigsby?) and then took off in front of him to block.... it does make me a little nervous to see the starting QB as a lead blocker but still love the determination in the red zone... Overall, a pretty solid effort... I can't remember the last time I left the stadium feeling ok about a loss...

getting fired for "having a beer" seems a little fishy... let's just wait till all the details unfold... wasn't Worman in the running for our OC job or was that just a rumour??

I'm a little late to the party on this.... I don't think we woulda got him but I'm disappointed to hear we didn't even get in on the Laurent sweepstakes.... I understand the reasoning, but then again conventional CFL wisdom says you never pass on quality Canadians if you can get them.

Are you suggesting hosting or panel member?

haha I like out the title of the thread says BLOCKBUSTER.... but yeah when I saw this, this morning I thought this might actually entice be to give 1290 pre game a listen, instead of CJOB.... I like Bauming and Walby, but not a huge fan of Westy... I think CJOB may need to bring in another analyst to compete.... Who would you take in an anchorman-style fight? Team TSN: Climie, Schultz, and LaPo Team CJOB: Knuckles, Doug Brown, and Mitch Zalnowsky Team 1290: Bauming, Walby, and Westy

If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then

That wasn't a training camp injury. Yeah I believe it was around week 4 or 5

Good point, why even bother showing up? Quick, someone email Wade Miller now to let him know we can just sit out 2014 to make it a nice even 8-team league again...

I hope he's not referring to a hoopla similar to the Jeff Reinbold days we're all so fond of...

I guess we needed to replace Creehan in some way shape or form... Thanks for the report.... any idea how to pronounce Nzegwu?

He'll be 30 by the end of the year... definitely still time to recover.... but this is very unfortunate news.... I was looking forward to seeing him on the d-line this year

Lawless writes/says some questionable things from time to time but he would never be dumb enough to bad mouth Bob Irving on the radio... Irving is a legend arond these parts and Lawless respects that
