In regards to Daniels not getting targets…. Is it possible that they view him as a bit of a surprise element for week 1 and didn’t want to put anything about him other than blocking on film.

I think a lot of the nonsense of last night was keeping cards close to the vest.

Doubt they even draft Brady if he's not from Winnipeg.

Did they take Jade etienne over Demski or no?

What cards? UNO? Osh should go viral and pull out an UNO reverse card on a challenge.

Sadly, that’s probably true

Dante Daniels would be Logan Stanley of the Bombers.

I always thought Logan Stanley was the Faith Ekakitie of the Jets.

We took Sukh Chungh over Demski in 2015. Etienne was drafted in 2011. 4th overall. Still no idea why we didn't take Coehoorn instead.

Demski we were absolutely going to draft but Taman scooped us one spot before.

Bryant Wallace Elsbury Neuf Brox. Eli. Vibert. 3 Americans starting

Elsbury showed well, think he starts

I don’t think the chances eli is healthy to start the year is good at all.

I think Eli, moxey, demski and vaval all go to the ir. Ceresna i think will play maybe partial banged up or atleast not 100%.

I’m not sure our vet lbers are 100% either.

Ya we're gonna be in rough shape the first month or so... Just with all th injuries. Never mind the lack of talent....

Agreed that we wanted him but he went at #6 and we didn't pick again until #11. Worked out in the end though. He was just starting to really establish himself as a pro when he hit FA and came home.

I think we're going to be fine. Week 1 - Okay Vernon Adams has carved us a new A-Hole once or twice in the past. Who knows how that will pan out

Week 2 - Home opener, Hamilton. Doesn't really scare me

Week 3 - Bye

Week 4 - Home Edmonton. Dub

First month, done. No reason we can't be at least 2-1 IMO.

Odd choices..Dumping Randolph for Poncias? He showed zip

Not sure what more Clinton needed to do..send away a promising young guy but keep 2 older vets..one of whom (Jones) is limited in what he is good at

Where did Oledejo materialize from??

Poncius was better than Randolph in the preseason games and his ceiling is higher imo. Plus the man is a unit physically.

We’ve already got three experienced CFL American ol on the roster. Randolph is redundant at this point.

neither had any success in the run game, poncius was worse in pass protection and last year randolph was our best ol.

I’m not surprised we finally picked between vanterpool and randolph. I like randolph better, but neither showed nearly well enough and vanterpool is more useful with how we will roster the ol.

A pure pass blocking rt is useful, but I don’t think randolph was gonna turn into a roadgrader. Which vanterpool is, but wallace’s versatility to possibly be a rt long term and fill in in a pinch does make randolph even more expendable.

At the same time, Bryant was worrisome in his limited reps. Media drooled over him in camp, but I didn’t see it. I worry he’s dropped off even more.

I’m sure randolph will get a look else where, and very may well work out for another team. I’m a randolph guy, but the move does make sense.

Especially since it seems like we might be filling up the ir organically and not really able to use it to hide guys.

I agree that Randolph most likely isn’t done in the CFL. I also think it’s valid to have concern about Bryant.

I liked Poncius right from rookie camp. He’s a few years younger than Randolph and I think he has a tonne of potential.

Can't believe they cut the LB who had a one handed pick six, I guess they weren't moved by it
