Dragon37 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 People talk about the Larks being a mess the Argos not only crapped the bed all the way from third to last in five weeks but lost their first round pick in the process. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanger Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just now, J5V said: What makes you say that? Look what he got! A player who leads the league ( well tied ) in interceptions, plus a first round draft choice! We were going to lose him for nothing at the end of the season. I just feel like this is very similar to the Jets trade with Buffalo. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'd like to see us grab Danny Vandevoort. We need a great Canadian receiver in the worst way...and he's a great football player too. I think he'd fit really well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Our track record for 1st round receivers has been dismal. Draft an olineman to replace Chuungh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Maybe we use our first pick to trade for Franklin? Just a thought. Riders fans seem to think he'll be a Rider sooner than later. That's all they've talked about since Chris Jones got to Regina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if Edmonton would let him go for a 1st rounder, but that being said, they probably lose him to FA after 2017 so maybe worth doing. Reilly ain't going anywhere so Franklin won't be starting for awhile yet in Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... but you've got to give Barker some credit for taking a risk and trying to go for it all, remember they host the Grey Cup this year and at the time the Willy trade happened, Ray was injured and the Argonauts were still very much so in the East Division playoff picture. I wonder how much of this trade was Milonovich singing Willy's praise and how much was the Argos needing to shake things up. As it stands right now though, it looks like it was a terrible move for the Argos - especially considering the Bombers were likely going to release Willy this off-season if they hadn't traded him.

JF has taken Nichols' job before. Yeah, probably. Though Nichols is our starter as he earned it. Jones just didn't care for Nichols in Edmonton. Nichols is more entrenched here as the starter than he ever was with the Eskimos. Franklin would be for the future. He'd have a better chance playing here long term than languishing behind Mike Reilly in Edmonton. Edited November 6, 2016 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a great Canadian receiver, just a decent one. If we re-sign Chung, we won't have to force ourselves to pick an OL first overall either. I would be on board to grab a play making receiver as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely support getting some more depth at National receiver. I am tired of watching Kohlert play volleyball out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 You're kidding yourself if you don't think we need an outstanding Canadian receiver. Think of having another impact starter ala Sinopoli, Fantuz, Bagg or Gore over an often subpar Kolhert. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
