Demski and Coates start, Simonise and Wolitarsky backup.  Petermann starts on the PR.  Looks good.

Depth is good.

two guys with good and great size and fantastic athletic ability at a position we havent had a strong contributor in years, and may start two nis at. 

Our Canuck receivers now include Demski (Good when he's healthy, but not healthy often enough and very expensive), Coates (1 good game), Blazko, Henry, Thera-Plamondon, Wolitarsky (1 catch career), Simonise and Petermann for 2 starting spots, 2 backups and a PR spot.

Wasn't Henry cut at mini camp?

Henry and plamondon were TCF last year. This is how you build depth though. pile up talent and let the best fight to the top. like we did on the OL.

Just curious.. Who would you have taken and why.

So you acknowledge we're shaky at receiver but upset we drafted two receivers.

When I start thinking you’re being unnecessarily negative... umm... just sayin ha

oh b oy we go dumouchel

Blazko may soon be released and Henry and Thera-Plamondon are going to be in tough to make the team. Its like as Atomic stated earlier: Demski and Coates start, Wolitarsky and Simonise backup, Peterman on the PR. Maybe one other NI WR on the PR.

Simonise, wolitarsky and petermann have star potential. TP henry dont. blazko has some potential but not as much. 

Edmonton scooped us with Tanner Green too.

Not a fan of AGD.

Thera-Plamandon could be moving to H-back.  Can long snap too.

I really like the dumouchel pick...  Great move

not the draft I would have done but I don’t hate it

Upside for days. Big and nasty. And he is going back to college.

I don't mind 1. I don't like 2, especially with our first 2 picks. Not really hard to comprehend.

Imagine TBURGESS being negative, I for one am shocked 

and messam is gone.

Been saving it up for a few months now.  It's got to feel good to be back at it.

I’m bummed out because I was fully prepared to make fun of sask for picking simonise...

Dumouchel has tackle potential but he is a project for sure.  6'9".

I wasn't negative about the first receiver. I became negative about 2 with the top 2 picks.

Imagine having a different opinion than the Bombers and then having to watch the cheerleaders around here complain about it. We've now got 8 NI receivers, only 2 of which have even a little bit of CFL experience. Well 3 if you include Wolo's catch. LOL

Yeah i think he is a good fit like that.
