bluedawg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I think Manu is high boom or bust potential for NFL. Not upset at the Bombers betting on the bust side of things at the end of the 5th round... Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) You can't complain about taking Manu in the 5th at 46 overall. FYI recent Winnipeg 5th rounders include Chris Ciguneau, Kyle Borsa and Nicholas Dheilly.

Yeah but with his body and athleticism he'll kick around PR's down there making $200,000 USD until he doesn't want to anymore. 2 minutes ago, bigg jay said: Our 6th round pick is local kid AK Gassama.

bluedawg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I'm sure several players drafted will be in training camp and then return to school and be non-counters in 2025 camp. Happens every year Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Sombach is a nice little pick for Calgary. Undersized but a hell of a player. Bet he plays some safety in this league. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedawg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Ton of investment into developmental OL. I really like it. 4 OL picks is a ton with a lot of different swings MOBomberFan, rebusrankin, Noeller and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 45 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Nah take a look at him on his film tape. He's 6'3 295 and not fat at all. He's a nose in this league. Doesn't look to me like a guy who will need to fix his body at all like some of the recent U of M picks we've made or Wallace this year. He is not by any means a lean 295. He’s not Matt Sheridan, but he has a worse build for an interior lineman than Dobson came here with. he’s a player though. I get why they like him. If he translates his game it’ll be a great pick. 21 minutes ago, Goalie said: Bombers grab manu. He ain’t coming. He’s far from a sure thing to stick in the nfl he’s a project that needs a decent bit of polish. He’s less risky than some guys who went earlier imo. he’s gonna sit for a year on the pr for sure. But I don’t think he’s 1 year away from making an nfl active roster. Could be here in 2-3 years, and could be a huge impact for us if he does. Great risk vs reward that late. I mean we took the gamble after drafting a long snapper. 11 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: The long snapper from Laval is going back. Mike Ike is bound for jets camp too.

bluedawg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Mike Ike is just a minicamp guy, that means he is not going to be in rookie camp but will be there when main camp opens. He will be on the team this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
