Of course there will be misses but what can you say about Goossen (2014), Chungh (2015), Corney and Couture (2016 9th & 10th) ? SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you take his whole body of work in rebuilding our Canadian depth... cuz it doesn't fit your narrative? Walters has done a fantastic job building our cnd depth.

Since the Blue are so high on Lankford perhaps we should make a deal. I'm sure Wally would bite. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Rainey will be cut next week if they can’t trade him. Likely cost is a mid-round conditional pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Well he would alleviate our return issues thats for sure...but how do we roster him when we can't even roster a Flanders if we wanted JCon, blue85gold, Tracker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Rainey is a solid little returner but it would be tough to get him into the line-up for sure....I'd prefer to pursue Burnham IF Hervey is wiling to deal....A receiver of his calibre would go quite nicely with Adams...

Not sure why this qualifies as cherry picking? One might expect that the first overall pick is a LOCK to be a front line impact player. As for the other picks listed....well done but I’m sure they align with comparable picks across the league. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think. But in the CFL that just isn't the case. Mostly because the 1st overall often isn't the most talented. Just the most talented who isn't going south...which often means there is a few years of development a head at best. Though sometimes you get a good one and they play right away. But that's not the norm. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Trying to think of the last first overall that has paid off... Lavertu I'd think I'm excluding 2015 draft because basically the entire first round paid off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
