Grant isn't a tailback.

🤮 Not peak Rory Kohlert or that one really good Matt Coates game?

Burmeister intrigues me. He was a decent QB at a fairly high level (ACC). Started for Oregon as a freshman so just on raw talent there's something there. He just converted to receiver with Rams last year. Kind of wondering if they are looking at him in both spots....or even just QB. He must really have NFL dreams to come up here as a receiver because I have no doubt he could play QB in the UFL based on some of the guys playing there.

All the combine testing does is show who is serious about moving to the next level. If you're an OL walking into a combine where you can't do 20 reps of 225....you're showing that you're not willing (or able) to do the work to be a pro. Now if you have tremendous film you'll probably get a chance to prove that wrong. If the film is meh, the testing is meh, the on field stuff is meh, you're done.

It's done after this season. A big chunk of that league will be gone. Will basically be a GTA and Vancouver/Victoria league. The model they are working under makes it impossible for the league to grow. It's part of the whole Canada Soccer fiasco.

I don't think the hyphenated name guy would be a crazy pick at 8 overall as a running back. Kind of a hybrid guy.

Hergel won't be up here either. I think we'll be picking mostly from players who attended the combine.

The only way Dublanko isn't the first overall pick is if he dies (Ottawa might still trade up for him though) or it's revealed he's got a bunch of skeletons in his closet. He's quite likely the best player and for certain the best player who won't be in a NFL camp of the players available.

Blaise Bryant. Hell of a back. Wrecked his knee in the second to last game 94. Underrated reason for the playoff flameout that year vs Baltimore. He was a great receiving back that year too, like 120 yards from scrimmage per game type back. Played a couple more years but was busted up...and best QB those couple years was Reggie Slack. They started about 8 different guys. The end of Cal Murphy's run. In 94 they went to Keith Woodside who was a washed up NFLer to replace Bryant for playoffs. I'm pretty sure Dunigan hated him, no chemistry anyway. Totally ****** up that offense which was one of best in CFL history for the playoffs.

Unemployment. Was at Arizona State as OC and head coach took away playcalling. Left at end of season.

I can't even believe Hamilton was in that deep on Brady. Makes no sense to me. So many better ways for them to use that money.

Chisari is a guy who would fit here. Has tailback skills. Showed really well in the 1 on 1's vs LB's/DB's. He'd be a guy the D would have to count, not like a Jackson or these FB's who can't move. Would be up gaining the blocking skills and special teams. Between him, Augustine, the receivers and a 6th OL you'd think you'd have any "fullback" reps covered in terms of bringing in extra blockers to backfield or edge.

Put up terrible numbers for speed and agility. Doubt he plays offense in the CFL. Better be good at special teams.

Nah, Benedet, Adams, Wallace and Hergel are legit NFL prospects. Pretty likely the first two are drafted and potentially fairly early. The NCAA guys at the combine have all tested pretty average to below average. A few of the FCS and D2 guys did ok. Like Nkanu, Washington State. Brutal. If he doesn't dominate the live reps he's going to drop like crazy, not like it matters that much as long as someone drafts you.

Chris-Ike too for backs. I think if you want a FB you're better off taking one of those guys and seeing if you can teach them how to block. Herzog would probably have to transform himself into a Demski/Coombs type player. The FB's from U Sports are basically OL. Mital might end up being more of an H-Back type too. Not many 6' 230 lb receivers around.
