blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Great for our future! Wonder if he plays right away, and if so, who does he replace?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 does he even factor in for this year now though?...replace Couture on active if anything?..can't see him supplanting a starter at moment..but if he has really improved since school you never know...at least...huge depth upgrade Bigblue204 and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 He's not going to make an impact this year but going forward, this will be huge. We have a lot of Canadian talent on offense. Bigblue204 and blue_gold_84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 More highly touted Canadian talent is always welcome. Figure out the rest later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Couture a FA in offseason. I think one of Nuefeld or Hardrick is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Not sure the free agent status of our O line guys, but having Gray for 2019 and 2020 is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 At one point could start 4 Canadians on the line and have 8 solis starting Canadians. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Walters took a big chance selecting him in the first round. But, knowing that he had Canadian talent already on the line, he took it. Job well done there. Now it's up to Gray to earn a starting spot. Atomic and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Really does make up for Ekakati not working out. Let’s Walters be creative this offseason with their two first rounders upcoming. MOBomberFan and BigBlueFanatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm assuming this is why Walters didn't go after other guys (i.e. Chris Matthews)...he likely gave Gray a nice signing bonus which counts against 2018 cap. Anyways...O -line could be strong for years to come. BigBlueFanatic, blitzmore and Mark F 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Say what you will about Kyle Walters but he made drafting OL high a priority from day one and now we have depth there that I don't think I've ever seen the Bombers have.

Tehedra Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sucks to sign during this year though, would have preferred next year to get to 2021 instead of 2020 Still awesome signing! Also gives some depth for the stretch run if required. So who has to be released now that we've added one to our roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
