pigseye Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Definitely skeptical. I really like Walters and won't question the players he chose, but the positions have me scratching my head: OL - makes sense WR - don't follow DB - don't follow FB - don't follow DL - don't follow LB - don't follow I would have to think that Richards & Morgan must have the ability to be something special to take those positions that high in the draft. The FB, DL, LB??? who knows, not exactly the body type if your looking for special teams demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm satisfied for now, time will tell in the end though as it does with all drafts. Like most, I was disappointed in the lack of name recognition in some of the picks but after reading more, I'm a little more optimistic. Duane Forde says Morgan is a smart player & one of the best athletes available in the draft. His lack of name recognition may be due to the fact that he only played 2 games last year after being ruled academically ineligible. His old DC from Queens (Pat Tracey) is now our ST coach so there is some familiarity there & he seems pretty versatile (he also played RB at Queens for a bit). Who knows...had Morgan played a full season, he could have been a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I keep reading that Richards' floor is Hargreaves and his ceiling is Clermont.....if that's at all accurate, I can handle it. the watcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Richards might be "raw" but he caught over 100 balls over the last two seasons after spending a couple years as a backup receiver in Regina. Anyone comparing him to Jade Etienne (who caught about 30 passes in 2 years after being converted from a kicker) is way out of their element. Does this guy look like Jade Etienne??? http://www.leaderpost.com/sports/Addison+Richards+ready+next+step/11049006/story.html Looks like a 1970's Bruce Jenner. Man that guy was awesome. I was just thinking the other day - whatever happened to that guy? Ducky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Taman doesn't need to draft Sask guys, they come back as soon as their first contract is done. Richards said the same things Labatte said when we signed him. Disagree with drafting anyone from that province regardless of ability. 50/50 he is here beyond his first contract.

Mike Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just heard Walters explaining the Morgan pick. They liked him because they viewed him as the only guy in the draft who can compete at both safety and field corner.

Sure, there's that awkward "getting to know them" stage that you don't have with cousins, but on the plus side, if you decide to have kids, there no "What in the world...?" from the doctor during delivery. kelownabomberfan, Judd and holoman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to get Richards introduced to the Winnipeg ladies so he stays in Winnipeg, much like was done with Kohlert. He'll be confused at first at the odd smell of soap and shampoo emanating from them, but change is never easy.

Tracker Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 To illustrate the point, there is a story circulating about a young man from Pense, Saskatchewan who came rushing into his parents' home with an announcement. "Pa! Ma!" he blurts," I've met the gal I wanna marry and she's a virgin!" "No way yer gonna marry her" says Pa. "Why not?" cries the lad. "If she's not good enough fer her family, she's sure 'nuff not good enuff fer ours!" retorts Pa. And such is life in Saskatchewan.
