If he isnt eligible for bengals (i have no idea that status) he really needs to play a full season of junior or go to the arena league or some thing. As a player, id take him right now with the first over all if possible. I wouldn't. Not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton of guys are about to get picked who arent ready, and even who dont have a great chance at becoming ready. Talent, athleticism and size hes once in a generation type imop. (for the cfl draft) You bring in a ton of kids, you have to hope that your coaching staff and team can help bring out the best in him. Which we have the team and coaching staff for imop. Id rather bet on our team to help a guy with all the talent mature, then hope they can some how divine talent into a character type. That is how i am though. Faith who we are rumored to take has had questions of commitment n such as well interestingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith who we are rumored to take has had questions of commitment n such as well interestingly. Biggest difference between them is the level of play. Faith Ekakitie has played at a much higher level the past 4 years than Simonise has. Better coaching & much, much tougher competition. Simonise played against 18 & 19 year old corners in CIS & junior. Faith has played against NFL ready offensive linemen.

Pete Catan's Ghost Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I want to live in a world where on November 3rd., I'm watching the game against Calgary and be secure in the knowledge that the Stamps will have to go to the pass because they know in advance that Messam will not be able to run against our Dline.

Floyd Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm liking the Ekakitie pick more and more... reading about all the crap that guy has gone through in the states, I think he'd be pretty excited about a long career in Winnipeg... Still prefer Bladek first overall - but he has been out of football for a year plus... and if Judge develops as a linebacker the way everyone hopes - he'll ditch for the NFL at his first chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate007 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Since TSN is raving over his testing numbers, let's compare #2 this year, and the guy we gave up #2 last year to get: Pro day results: Waggoner: 6’0”, 224, 4.56 forty 1.53 ten), 39.5 vert, 25 bench, 10’02 broad Judge: 6’0”, 220, 4.55 forty (1.59 ten), 36.5 vert, 19 bench, 10’11 broad BRock71, Fred C Dobbs, WildPath and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Walters completely wasted a pick on Gray at 8 and is still making out like a demon in this draft.... amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Happy with the pics so far......Guess we had to grab Grey at 8 or we wouldn't have a shot at his rights....Says a little something about the quality of the draft....O linemen that used to be a premium...not making the top rungs...There was one super o lineman and we have his CFL rights...OKAY....Spooner is no slouch ...just wish Wiley was still here to get the best out of this guy...
