April 30, 201411 yr Deal signed, but unannounced. Good signing by Walters, Maher had legit NFL interest. You may remember reading about him in the mini camp articles, he was the kicker that was quoted as being really impressed with the club and how they operated.
April 30, 201411 yr Can't see them dedicating two DI spots to special teams, especially with how much Etch likes to rotate guys.But then you can point to O'Shea's emphasis on ST's. If we have one guy handling both jobs kicking and Wild as the longsnapper again, we'll have extra bodies available on D, they'll just have to be Canadian. True, it'd just be so unorthodox. Our Canadian depth scares me as it is. Our first rounder likely isn't going to contribute on D. I just don't know where those bodies would come from. Rene Stephan might work until he gets injured in the first half of week 1 We'll have a shot at a decent backup linebacker in round 3 I think. I don't know what we're going to do with our picks, but I could see us landing Travis Bent or Max Caron. Maybe even Beau Landry if he drops further than expected.
May 1, 201411 yr 3 OL, 2 receivers, Safety, 1 DL/LB/DB There's our "7" starters, with likely 9-10 players filling those spots regularly, more if you include Pontbriand/Fitzgerald. We need a NI receiver and LB/DL badly IMO. Hope we can get the LB/DL at the draft, receiver we might have to pick through other teams discards during or at the end of training camp, and pray that at least one of Feoli-Gudino or Brescacin can be useful on offence.
May 1, 201411 yr I think the names max caron and thomas miles should be names we familiarize ourselves with.
May 1, 201411 yr 3 ol 2 receivers, safety and someone else. maybe newman could play lb, maybe its alexander at corner (im not convinced he makes it out of camp tho) how do you think so? because honestly i dont think he's very good.

I would like to see us try and draft Alexander Fox. I believe he is the best receiver in this draft but he will fall due to being 5'8". He can play. Would be a nice pick in the 4th round.

I like Kit Hillis for the same reasons, although I don't think he's the best, I just think he's better than people give him credit for.
May 1, 201411 yr If Wild doesn't earn a starting spot out of training camp, does his ability to long snap earn him a DI spot? Hopefully Fitzgerald has been practicing it as well.
May 1, 201411 yr Ian Wild was solid as a rookie last season. I can't imagine anyone will push him out of his starting spot, but I guess an injury could.
May 1, 201411 yr solid? Ian Wild was one of our best D players last year, period. Not only is he going to make it outta camp (barring injury -- knock on wood) but he'll have a monster season if he can, again knock on wood, stay healthy.

Indeed, he was my clear choice for the Bomber ROTY candidate. Does anyone recall who was our ROTY candidate last year? Zach Anderson? Or was it actually Wild? eidt: Pardon, 'Most Outstanding Rookie'
May 1, 201411 yr I believe, Wild can play the S spot too, if needed be. I think he will fit nicely in Etch D.
