Super Duper Negatron Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I will make my prediction after training camp. The trenches are a big question mark to me and it all depends on the recruits. JohnnyAbonny and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Right now I think we are an 11 win team still in the late season battle for first/second in the west with bc. But if our ol doesn’t replace rt well, or find a new impact player on D that could be plus or minus 2 very easily even before injuries are considered. I think this will be the closest the top teams have been in the cfl in years. All the play off teams could be with in like 2 wins of each other.

Noeller Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 As mentioned, we have the best QB in the league.... if we can protect that QB, and if our offensive weapons stay healthy, then we'll be in first at the end of the year. I'm hoping for some improvement along the DL (I don't know enough to know if it's scheme or personnel) and in kick covers....... but I truly believe we'll be much of the same the next two years. After the home GC, all bets are off... but the next two years should still be lots of fun. HardCoreBlue, Piggy 1 and wbbfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If however we can find an impact player especially in the front 6, that’s a game changer. We need to replace JJ full time, instead of half time, but I think we will manage. Teams is going to be a battle to watch in camp as well. Going to be tough if we struggle kicking off/punting and covering especially if grant isn’t back to over compensate for a lot of field position.

JCon Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 We need to improve on both sides of the trench and at special teams. If we do that through drafting and recruiting, we'll be in good shape. Could take a while, though, for everyone to gel. rebusrankin, Noeller and wbbfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure seems like both drafts are great candidates to fill out gaps if we can manipulate the draft and get quality picks at positions of need. This could well be a team that is much better in the final 1/3rd of the season as well. Noeller and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 This draft is worse than Hodges, no way that Ottawa not take a reciever in top 2 picks. Nor does Deblanco last more than 3 picks. Straker at 2 is also dreaming JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cos play analyst says once the first team picks an ol, the panic run in ol will begin. With a good 5 out of 7 picks following it being an ol. I’d love to see us grab a couple guys who will be in nfl camps refill the futures cupboard in the mid or late parts of the draft. But if we get one guy who becomes a starter and two decent role guy that will be a big win. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 gotta say I'm not a fan of people on this forum who make snide remarks on the commentor vs the topic being discussed. (and for clarity ive said earlier that I dont think Hodges draft was good, just that Fergusons is worse.)

JuranBoldenRules Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) The only way Dublanko isn't the first overall pick is if he dies (Ottawa might still trade up for him though) or it's revealed he's got a bunch of skeletons in his closet. He's quite likely the best player and for certain the best player who won't be in a NFL camp of the players available.

Alright let's break down your 3 gripes about this mock then. 1) Ottawa is in need of a NI receiver but in a deep draft, do you reach and fill a position of need, knowing you can get a similar quality player later? Both mocks had the best available receiver going first so who's next and how far is the dropoff? What Edmonton does with the first pick could shape the way the first few rounds goes down. 2) Even Ferguson said he doesn't think Dublanco slides to 7th. He also had Lacrosse at 4 but says that's too early. Not sure why he put guys in spots he doesn't think they'll be picked in... It's kinda the whole point of the article? That's probably my biggest issue with his draft. 3) Didn't see you have the same angst for Hodge picking Straker at 3 as you do for Ferguson putting at 2? I get why both guys have him high though. Borderline NFL interest coupled with an underwhelming pro day means he will most likely be available for a team this season which is what you want from a high pick.

Mike Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Ferguson’s mock draft is pretty bad but he does an alright job of tiering guys off, IMO. I’m probably going to put my first one together so I too can be laughed at. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 In term of Ferguson's mock, I'd be good with us going OL-WR-DL as he has us doing. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyAbonny Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Chris Jones is an idiot sometimes, but I don’t see how they pass on Dublanko I agree with Marshall’s prediction of Bombers taking Hergel. He seems to have the attitude and physicality to fit in here. If Wallace slides, maybe but I’d figure him to be on an NFL PR for at least a year or 2. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa doesnt have a national receiver on their roster that caught more than 1 pass ly, do you think they will pass on Mital and/or Mardner? Duncan-Busby is the next best but there is a noticable drop off (Hodge has him 15 , Ferguson 17 pick) Ferguson doesn't have Ottawa picking a receiver in any of their 2 picks Your point 2 where Ferguson doubts his own ranking also indicated why his draft is less than stellar As far as Straker goes i may have understated his value, although as an armchair gm, Deblanco seems a better pick Edited April 3 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
