17to85 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 So this should bump up the bombers 2 first round picks this year right? All in all pretty sweet. This is of course assuming the Als wind up dead last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Jesus, Chris Jones loves him some criminals. He's always signing some ****** with some kind of assault, domestic violence charges. I mean, this guy is probably a slight step up from having a receiver as a DB, but still scraping the bottom of the barrel. 25 minutes ago, 17to85 said: So this should bump up the bombers 2 first round picks this year right? All in all pretty sweet. This is of course assuming the Als wind up dead last. That is also assuming it isn't the Riders who finish last, which at this point looks likely.

How have the mighty fallen. True but their opinions are meaningless. On that site it's the opinions of a select few that matter. Some are subtly defending Jones by trying to spread the blame around. Others are warning against "knee jerk" reactions and putting critics on the defensive for being over reactive and not providing solutions...as if thats the fan's responsibility.

Booch Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah in the draft next year we will have 2 picks in the first round where there will only be 8 picks in the round..so for us that's a pretty sweet deal. Over last 3 years..and with next year we will have built some nice depth and talent via the draft and not had to overpay for free agents.

What the actual hell? Put Carter at receiver (his normal position) and Elam at DB (also his normal position). Not rocket science, Jones, you stubborn idiot! This Carter experiment has already failed. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otoh, the QB that Riders recently released was not brought in to be a QB but to try out as a CB. So, Mike it turns out that you are right after all....you can't make this stuff up.
