Those draft prospects are tough to get excited about when you immediately have to ask, how many of these guys are getting NFL shots?

Sadly, I think we might be in the running for a high draft pick.

I hear we plan to trade down, our 1st for 8 8th rounders which we will spend assembling the greatest team of ST aces to ever grace a CFL roster.

Dru Brown is out this week.

said it before, say it again, I hate seeing young gun QBs get hurt.  League needs those guys on the field so bad, I don't care who they play for. 

(no disrespect on the Bomber who hurt him -- was it Vaughters?  It was a clean football play.  Just stupid bad luck.)

Vaughters sort of belly-flopped on Brown after Brown was down, but that did not seem to have affected the ankle that was damaged. Weird.

Is it bad luck or a guy who tried to make a play way outside of his athletic ability? Brown looks slow as molasses trying to evade the rush whenever he's flushed out of the pocket. Now, he's a walking injury. He doesn't do Bob Dyce any favours for his remaining enure as a head coach or help his team by constantly being injured. He seems to put himself into more trouble by trying to make a play with his legs rather than taking a sack. I'm thinking Brown just may not have the physical toughness to play at the pro level.

I see we're back to the No Quarterbacks worth drafting. How 2018 of the CFL Scouting Bureau for that.

Are there any this year that would crack the top 20?  There were only 6 Canadian QB's playing D1 ball last year & we had guys like Kurtis Rourke who (probably thanks to his brother) we had been hearing about for a couple years before he was draft eligible.  2 of those 6 QB's (Callum Wither & Drew Viotto) are coming back up north to play this season but they haven't seen much playing time so no idea what they could turn out to be yet.  Otherwise I don't recall hearing about anybody else coming up yet who might be able to make it at the pro level. 

This is also only the first edition of the rankings so we'll see what the winter & spring rankings show as they do change - maybe there's a couple QB's right now who are just off the rankings but improve their standing over the course of the season.  The article even states that only 4 of 8 first round picks in the 2025 draft were on the 2024 fall rankings so somewhere along the line, those other 4 shot up (and/or other guys dropped off) the list.
