Awwww sounds like someone's got a case of the hurt fee fees because 3rd down nation is called what they are... fanboi bloggers play acting at being real media

 

I think some of us just appreciate the extra content. The only thing more embarrassing than 3down’s terrible takes is forum posters who don’t even have a blog trying to Uncle Rico from the sidelines, “if only I had a blog, I could write way better than them. I just know it!”

I limit my visits and comments on this site as there are a few in here who wish to control the board with their views, roll their eyes at others and feel their feedback only matters. What collection of individuals. 

Isn't it funny how two folks instantly validated that comment?

Ironically, you’re one of the forum posters who could write as well or better than 3dn. 

You know it’s possible to be critical of something and still appreciate its existence right?

Anyone can start a blog, I've got no interest in that. I'm here for an open exchange of ideas with other fans... people who write blogs wa t their opinions heard without them being open to challenge. As seen by the butthurt here when people call their opinions trash.

I think what's interesting to see after doing this exercise is that there's SO MUCH MORE talent coming up from U.S. schools this year compared to last year

I went back and checked and only 11 guys in the CFL draft last year were from American colleges. 6 of those guys are on NFL rosters right now and the 5 remaining in the CFL are Dontae Bull, Cole Tucker, Francis Bemiy, Adam Guillmette, Thomas Bertrand-Hudon

Of the 37 guys in the four round mock something like 20 of them are coming from U.S. colleges and there were others that were left off the list at the end

It's a really good year for the bombers to have an extra second round pick

A deep top heavy draft could see higher than usual trade activity too. Maybe cam Lawson type deals

I appreciate all the work that went into this.

 

I like the idea of an OL in round 1 and then 2 defensive players in round 2. One question, where is the fullback?

RB/FB Michael Chris-Ike at 28! He's been a backup RB and core special teamer in college and has the size to play some fullback

I'm going to sound like I'm a John Hodge burner account on this forum (I'm not), but the CFL draft is by far the toughest to predict in terms of order, who gets picked. So many factors, but the biggest being the best players aren't ever picked high because of NFL interest. So, you're guessing on how GM's will choose the best "available" player, and then factoring in positions that actually matter in the CFL for ratio. This isn't the NFL, NBA, NHL where a casual fan can probably get 50% accuracy on the first round. I like CFL mock drafts (3downnation and cfl.ca) just to get to know potential players. I know RSEQ players pretty well because I watch every game for one school, but clueless as to anyone else. So if your criteria is you only like mock drafts for their accurate selection order predictions , no debate on CFL draft predictions.

Prove it

Hey, Bluedawg... nice mock. The two o-linemen from BC will get drafted and spend some time in the States, Theo probably longer than Gio in my opinion.

Was at the stadium Friday night for the Bryant & Streveler talk. It was very exciting to see the work on the field. It was really worn out, so it was becoming a bit of an injury concern. 

I bet they're cutting it up to hand out to season ticket holders like they did with the turf at the old stadium. ;)
