So of the 2 linebackers who is likely to fill the Gauthier special teams role better.

I like the DB. Nice size there.

Also turns out the kicker is a punter also.

DE was best available DLine so I’m good there. Mini camp with Denver.

Cline was nice. Was hoping for a futures pick and he’s a solid one.

I actually hoped we’d grab another futures pick but guess not. You never know.

Puke but liked Sasks approach.

Converting the punter to oline maybe. Christ he’s a big boy.

10 of 18 picks were a punter or kicker.

Toronto really only team to not take a kicker or punter as they go 2 OL.

Let's not be hasty. We should make sure we have Goalie's replacement in the new member pipeline before we cut him.

Don't want to pull a Mike Kelly and replace Goalie with Stefan Lefors!

Other than the Daniels trade/pick, Bombers got generally +ve reviews for most of their picks. We’ll see if Cline comes here soon but I’m hopeful. If Daniels is the “**** kicking blocker” Walters claims then maybe I’ll view the pick more +vely than I do now.

The nature of pro sports is what was old gets revived again sooner or later. Daniels, if he pans out, could give the Bombers the old-fashioned tight end who could block on running plays and smoke d-backs on short/screen plays and be a threat as a receiver. A receiver of that size in full flight would cause many clenched sphincters among 170lb defenders.

So between last night's first pick and today's first pick, did we take the new Kongbo and Hansen?

Walters: Blue Bombers CFL Canadian Draft takeaways - Winn...

All across the Canadian Football League today GMs, head coaches and personnel types are still riding the post CFL Canadian Draft high. There are high-fives and fist bumps galore and the usual euphoria

On Daniels they want him to cut weight and play that spot that Tui did in the heavy sets. Be a blocker and more of threat to catch a pass.
