If Fontin can start….

Or Shay. My gawd. Lots of choices. 

Beautiful draft really 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Newell just seems obvious to me but maybe this is a run on OL.  Fortin or Anderson.

[Goalie]

Osh talking to the pick there. Looked like a number out east. 

Connor Shay it is. 

[wbbfan]

Wow Shay falls to us. We are crazy deep at lber. This guy gonna take a job when he comes up. 
 I wouldn’t have gone lber mid to high but his upside is incredible. 

[Blue28]

Wow. Insane. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Fine with that pick.  Interesting athlete for the style of D we play with guys moving around.  If they can teach him how to pass cover he'll be amazing.

Honestly he’s a high floor guy and a high ceiling guy. Great athlete, but also a really good run guy. 
 Feel like we are a great team to develop him too.

We only have old Gauthier and Cadwallader as our Cdn LBs, our thinnest Cdn position. Shay is a good pick I think.

He already did! Walters was 2 steps ahead of everyone and let Charbonneau go because he knew Shay would fall to us. 🤣

I mean vs imps. Shay’s reasonable floor is those guys. This is a guy who could start next year imo. We have 4 starting lbers as imps if Kyrie isn’t toast. 

Incredible value pick. Getting a legit no1 talent ratio breaker with a high floor at 6th is wild. 

[rebusrankin]

So the consensus is we got a steal?

Am I wrong to assume we can start him slow, primarily on ST and slowly give him reps on D?

[Goalie]

Shawn Burke was on mad TV when he was fatter. Does great wrestling impressions. 
 

 

Say OJO 

 

Ar gos.

"Mike we can't bring back broken old Bighill again this year"
"Fine Kyle, but I want Canadian LB (O')Shay in the draft then!"

I would like the Bombers to keep Samson too but this regime value vet experience to a fault. It's obvious that Ticars is not interested in our other National DLs to agree on the trade.

why would they wanna trade for the shittier ones?....who would....we couldnt give them away to be honest

[Goalie]

Bombers gonna get a couple guys here in the 2nd also.

100% steal. Couldn’t maybe got a better fit but no doubt we got the bpa. 
 

especially going to rookie camp. Might get situational reps first year.

And the best Canadian on our roster that we picked, are 2nds n 4ths. It’s pretty crazy. 

[Goalie]

I’ll give tsn credit. It’s not dragging as much this year. 

[wbbfan]

Waiver claiming a forfeited draft pick is bs

And half the draft picks aren’t up on social media before the round is over

Let's not go crazy here.

2 wr 2 ol 2 dl 2 lbers. Strange first round for the cfl draft

Just saying, if Bombers initiated this trade to get the Global 2nd overall from Ticats, they have to pay the price/value.

Db or linemen next for us 

They should’ve done this before the draft…
