March 30, 201510 yr I'd take Demski at #2. I'd love it if Archambault was still around at 11. I just don't see us taking an OL at the top spot, we need guys who are ready to play this year, and we used free agency on 2 o-line with experience.

I just don't see us taking an OL at the top spot, we need guys who are ready to play this year, and we used free agency on 2 o-line with experience. I'd be interested in Archambault too, but we were one of only two teams who didn't interview him at the combine. Wonder why.
March 30, 201510 yr Archambault would be pretty low on my list, with the depth of players on both sides of the ball I wouldn't even look at him with one of our first three picks. He's either going to get a little leaner to play LB or convert to DE. It would be nice to get a contributor on each side of the ball out of this draft and a couple guys with upside. I think that is possible with the picks the Bombers have and the slightly underwhelming performances of some guys who have NFL interest.
March 30, 201510 yr A quick mock draft... 1 Ottawa Redblacks – Mateas 2 Winnipeg Blue Bombers – Demski 3 Toronto Argonauts – Waud 4 Montreal Alouettes – Archambault 5 BC Lions – Groulx 6 Saskatchewan Roughriders – Chungh 7 Edmonton Eskimos – Ruby 8 Hamilton Tiger-Cats – Ackie 9 Calgary Stampeders – Durant 10 Ottawa Redblacks - Campbell 11 Winnipeg Blue Bombers - McEwan 12 Toronto Argonauts - Richards 13 Montreal Alouettes – Lavoie 14 BC Lions - Konar 15 Winnipeg Blue Bombers (via Saskatchewan[5]) – Murray-Lawrence 16 Edmonton Eskimos – Tennant 17 Hamilton Tiger-Cats – Guy 18 Calgary Stampeders - Boyko

I don't see Durant falling that far in the first round. He is a top 3 pick imo.

March 30, 201510 yr Mateas didn't even compete at the combine did he? Not sure he's going 1st overall to be honest, could see a guy like Chung going first, from what i've read, he seemed to have had a very strong showing. Really, i think the draft is a crap shoot, I still kind of get the feeling that teams in the first round will take non OL guys knowing that several will still be there in round 2, obviously some teams will take OL, BC i think is a team that will take an OLINE, probably SASK too but outside of that, i could see the first round being a bunch of WR'S, LB's and DB's and then OL going in round 2. I've also seen some suggest that they think Walters will trade pick 2, or is wanting too, Reading the new blog by cameron the bomber site, i don't think that's very likely but why would you trade down? I mean, if there is a guy there at 2, Let's just say It's Demski, why not just take him? Why do you have to trade down to take him? If he is the guy you want, why not just take him at 2, Does it really matter where the guy is picked? I don't get this trading down stuff in the CFL draft, I get trading up, i don't get trading down, If there is a guy you want at 2, it's likely he's going to be there so why wouldn't you just take him and avoid the risk of someone else taking him. If he is the guy they want that is?
March 30, 201510 yr I'd be surprised if the Bombers picked Mateas or McEwan. They just drafted a guy who is a centre last year 2nd overall. Chungh or Groulx depending on his NFL chances would be the likely OL at 2nd overall. Lots of options though with some defensive players and receivers.
March 30, 201510 yr Author I like Chungh at 2 then one of Nic Demski, Addison Richards, Lemar Durant, or Jake Harty at 11.
March 30, 201510 yr Just FYI Floyd, Dillon Guy isn't in this draft class anymore. Ah, I just threw a name in by that point anyway... why isn't he?
March 31, 201510 yr Author @JDunk12: Canadian QB Brandon Bridge (@Air_Canada_7) has already gone through a private workout with the #Indianapolis #Colts. #NFL
March 31, 201510 yr Just FYI Floyd, Dillon Guy isn't in this draft class anymore. Ah, I just threw a name in by that point anyway... why isn't he? Was given a medical redshirt last season to gain another year of NCAA eligibility because he was hurt all year.

According to Dunk, we didn't interview with any of the LBs at the combine, so it doesn't seem to be a position we're targeting.
