Figured we could get one central thread going for all the articles, tweets, thoughts and comments of the day. I encourage everyone to join the chat tonight as well.

So Ottawa is comfortable with Krausnick, as I figured they might be... Gott can play centre too though.

Farhan Lalji thinks Stamps take Lavertu. But why? They have Brett Jones at centre.

yeah i dont think its lavertu they are after to be honest, it makes no sense.

I'm trying to figure this out. Is Pruneau going first overall?

I doubt they traded up to get Gill at number 1 so maybe?? 6pm can't get here so enough.

I can't see them doing that unless they want him as a guard or move Jones ...

Ottawa just traded 1st overall straight up for Gott?

And rights to Hage. Not sure what that does since he's retired.

I wouldn't put it past Hufnagel to trade for Lavertu and kick him or Jones to guard and really bolster the line. I don't think the Bombers are safe yet.

It would seem the pick is better value than Gott

was it gott straight up for rights to retired hage and number 1? or did ottawa get calgarys pick also, which is what? 6 7th?

Unless they traded for the 1 spot so they can package It for a few different picks?

Farhan Lalji is connected so his Lavertu to Stamps call concerns me.

It wasn't Farhan Lalji that speculated Lavertu to Calgary, it was CFL_News retweeting him and adding his own thoughts

Whatever happens, I hope we draft wisely cause the Sun thinks we should start doing that LOL

it cant just be straight up with no pick coming back to ottawa, that would be ridiculous.

Does marcel know he's retired?!?

holy crap, it is, tsn just announced it love. unreal, what is desjardins thinking here. :s 

Gott is not worth that pick...he's one concussion away from retirement...feel bad for any Ottawa fans.

Hage is going to Stamps.

What an unbelievably short-sighted trade for Desjardins.

 

I still feel like Lavertu will go #1.

BREAKING TRADE ALERT: The @REDBLACKS have traded the 1st overall pick to the @calstampeders for Jon Gott. - http://on.cfl.ca/wOu96  #CFLDraft

Desjardins must be very, very drunk.

Something triggered this if they take Lavertu. Perhaps Federkeil is retiring too.

 

Bryant - Peach - Jones/Lav - Lav/Jones - Wilson

 

Edit: They also have Craighead... Five Canadians... Bryant going somewhere?
