Their mini camp starts two weeks after our final roster cut down. Means no camp here if he doesn’t get pulled in for tc

Their mini camp is next weekend.  Our rookie camp starts the Wednesday after, full camp the Monday after that.

This is incorrect, rookie minicamps all end by May 13 around the NFL

No, he didn't serve in any military branch.

Maybe his service record is classified.

He’s Canadian. He did volunteer peace keeping. Handed out socks n food. Did acid and shrooms. Good stuff. 

Wow 5 OL out of 10 picks is honestly overkill but at the same time I love it

Whatever happened to Tyson Pencer I mean Geoff Grey? 

Last pick - DL Owen Hubert from McMaster.

Gap filler type.  Played end at Mac.  All motor, no moves that will play here.  Needs to develop inside rush moves IMO.  Might get some 1st down reps at end, read and set edge kind of thing.

That’s their SnC.

Rfd begins on the 13th. Before that is optional draft rookies. 
 

we clearly targeted positions of need/want in this draft. But still managed to get a ton of value picks. Bunch of guys that can go back for another year of college which is always nice from late picks. 
 I could see 3 of these guys being on the ar this year, and gassama could easily stick on our pr based on depth needs a lone. Good handful of guys for futures. Say it was a B+ draft that could easily end up an A+ a bunch of different ways. 
 

Hope we sign a global punter still but kind of doubt it. 

Big thanks to all our resident experts who provided great insight this evening for the rest of us dummies and to Jay for keeping everyone updated once the draft went online only. It's greatly appreciated!

Can't wait for summer... Can't wait for football. 

The NYJ camp a handful of the CFL draftees are going to is May 3-6.

Lol at Hodge...

 

 

Gassama is a great kid.  

Don't know what he does in the CFL at 158 pounds even being a freaky athlete (but not very fast).  Feels like an obligatory pick a Winnipeg kid who plays for Bisons pick.

Yea...tip of the cap to the local U team by the Bombers.

Here is Ed Tait's article on the draft.    Walters to meet with the media this morning to discuss the draft.

So for those that didn't follow the draft, who did we take and why did it make booch unhappy 🤭

I’d rather have Burbacher than another RB.
 

Other than that I like the picks.

Didn’t love taking Clercius at first. After reading about him, and JBR’s opinion, I’ve come around. Seems like he’s a replacement for the things Bailey could do. 
 

Glad they took a few OL to develop, depth is very thin now. Still a crap shoot, but odds are at least one of those guys will be serviceable by ‘25. 

I don't know any of the players we drafted. I almost don't care who we drafted. But I am so ready for Bomber football it isn't even funny.

I'd be blown away if the Bombers use Clercius as they did Bailey. Well this year anyway. I don't see any way we go 3 CND rec with only 1 for depth. 

Brubacher sounds similar to the guy we drafted a couple years ago in the supplemental draft maybe. He could jump out of his pool easily. Athletic freak. But never translated to the pros. 
 

perhaps a case of been there done that.

Yes. That’s the guy. Trent Corney.

Waggoner I believe he means...Corney was a straight up draft pick

"Jake Thomas Clone" says Barker... Poor Booch.

That's a very good thing... as long as you're talking about the 24-30 year old version of Jake...

I don't pretend to know anything about the prospects but some of the resident experts around here seem to really like Brubacher... I wonder if we could've drafted the second round like this:

13 - Clercius
14 - Chris-Ike  Brubacher
17 - Wallace
20 - Samson   Chris-Ike

Still end up with WR, RB, OL, DL but potentially an upgrade at DL... just a thought
