I don't worry about how Walters and Co. manage the draft- they have done an exceptional job and will continue to do so. As always, I will follow the draft with interest, not dread as in the previous regimes. Fatty Liver, Stickem, Bigblue204 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not too surprising to me when you look at the guys who’ve been big fa pick ups for other teams and gone to the nfl. I’d like to see the stats for drafted by that team and 1 on a cfl roster and 2 a starter in the cfl. We’d move up on that list fast. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Nice to add a talented player like that last minute especially with all the talent heading south of the border. rebusrankin, wbbfan and Stickem 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Some pretty interesting dl prospects this year. Be great to get a rotational depth piece to fill out the roster. Noeller and Colin Unger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 There's no way of actually knowing but it would be interesting to know how many talented players are out there who could have qualified as a Canadian in the CFL but nobody discovered them. In this guy's case sounds like it never would have been discovered had it not been for him showing up at an Elks open try out. Not expecting much from the bombers from the Global draft this year. There isn't an advantage to dressing more than two globals. Going to be very difficult for someone to crack the roster this year because they will essentially need to be good enough to beat out a Canadian. Wouldn't mind drafting a global kicker/punter if there is someone of high quality on the board. It would give us one more option out of training camp.

17to85 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Honestly if walters can dig up a good special teams guy or two call it a win. That was an aspect of the team I felt needed some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless we hit a lotto on an nfl guy. But I think this draft has more teams guys than most, and we could very much use a restock on kick cover.

JohnnyAbonny Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Anyone know anything about Noah Curtis? Clearly he’s lacking something, otherwise he’d be NFL-bound. Still, that kind of size in the interior… As long as he doesn’t Ekkakitie himself he’d be rotational at worst. JCon and Colin Unger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) As i was hoping the bombers took a Punter in the Global Draft just now. Jamieson Sheahan - Australia Averaged around 45.1 per punt last year for the California Bears. I think he can potentially be an option if he performs well in camp.

Colin Unger Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Karl Schmitz bounced around the NFL after being spotted on Youtube kicking a 70 yard field goal. His age isn't that big a deal to me for this season. What else do we expect from a low second round global pick. The fact that we got someone who might help us in some way at that slot is notable. I was thinking maybe we would snag an NFL bound global at that pick. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 The Aussie punter we signed played for Essendon in Austrailia...I don't think he made it to the top level. But the Essendon club is also known as The Bombers! Wideleft and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
