I would also argue that maintaining the grass in the fall would be too challenging, with all the football that's played there. Easier for it to recover in summer, but not so much in fall.

WinnipegGordo Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, JCon said: 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. With the Goldeyes finally getting a new scoreboard it got me thinking. Will the Bombers ever upgrade their jumbotrons? It would great if they were replaced by larger versions at some point. rebusrankin, JCon and Piggy 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnipegGordo Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Bombers sign Larnel Coleman. He's an American offensive tackle who was drafted in the 7th round of the 2021 NFL draft. He played 1 game in the NFL and played college at UMass. Noeller, bb1, wbbfan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedawg Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I think Larnel Coleman's 36 1/4 inch arms give him the longest arms of any player in the CFL right now. Good get! https://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=1024887&DraftYear=2021 bb1, wbbfan and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) I hope despite Bennett and Schmekel they realize they still need DL from this draft. Because there's a handful of really good ones. Athletic, rush end types and 3 tech types...some who played end in U Sports/NCAA. Need to replace Hansen/Maruo too not in terms of Global status but their reps.

Pete Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) As Walters said, who we pick will have to beat out someone on our existing roster, our first round will likely be Oline after that it will likely be who can improve our roster the most. At our second pick. it will depend whose available on the dline that better than Bennet or Smeckle. Or if we go reciever whose better than Murphy.

Except that hasn’t happened the last couple of drafts. Picking our type of guy is great, as long as they are an actual viable contributor at a position and not sts guy who doesn’t have the potential or ability to play a position. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 They need to pick talented players with the potential to start not roster fillers like Bennet or Smeckle or guys who are just going to be STers. wbbfan and Piggy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Cept neither is even good at teams lol. with this strong a top portion of a draft and soo many picks I’m sure walters will have his best draft in years.

Two years ago he didn't have a first rounder and last year was just a bunk draft year. I don't think any team in this league is particularly stoked by their last 2 drafts.

I’m pretty sure Walters could blindfold himself and throw darts at a John Hodge mock draft and end up with a better player than Tanner freakin Schmekel Piggy 1, JCon and rebusrankin 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few draft choices may go back for their last year in college. A few will start the season on PR as development players. It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of the 2024 draft choices actually make the AR. We've lost a few Canadians that spent most of 2023 on the AR, so there are some open spots. It also wouldn't surprise me to see a few Canadian depth players not make the roster in any form. So we'll see how our selections go. Previously I suggested that we might try and trade up since we have 10 selections this year. As an example, would we trade our # 8 & # 17 or # 20 for a top 5 draft pick? Just spit balling.
