[Blue Bomber Talk] Early thoughts on 2015 CFL Draft

Depends if we can land a stud like Heenan or Holmes in free agency.  That would of course reduce our need to draft an OL with the second pick.

 

Even then, Waud/Durant might be worth making a deal.

 

It's all hypothetical anyways, unless these guys project extremely highly there's no need to deviate from whatever the current plan is, and whatever the current evaluations are for these players, they will not likely change at all until Ecamp (outside of Waud's upcoming game).

 

And if there's 2 guys we feel we absolutely must have, we still have to find a dance partner for a trade and hope the second guy is still on the board for us to take.

 

Can't plan for any of this in January, but we can be open to the idea.

Durant looks like a pretty crazy talent... any projections for him to get drafted in the NFL? 

 

Based just on percentages, it seems very unlikely.  About 30 WR taken per draft.  Simon Fraser is very low profile by NCAA standards.  On average about 1 or 2 low-profile school receivers get taken per year.  The chances it's him are not favourable.

 

But his agent could get him a free agent tryout.  Odds of that happening have to be a lot higher than him getting drafted.

Saw a tweet that suggests Waud may be drafted in the NFL draft

saw it too, Believe it said as high as the 5th round even. 

 

 

Waud for sure has NFL potential as a 5-tech DE. As a CFL prospect, I actually think he may have a better future as an offensive tackle. He has the height and arm length for it.

Ackie looks very interesting, At 6'1" and 210 he is still fast enough to play DB with room to put on a few more pounds. His tackling looks to need a bit of work, but he is not afraid to hit. He ought to make a helluva free safety or even an outside linebacker with some seasoning.

Walters said this week that he thinks there is going to be a run on Oline guys in first round. Said mostly due to fact that the last few drafts have been really weak Oline drafts teams will be looking to stock up. As a result there will be a few really talent skill position guys that will fall.
