Floyd Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Pretty sure Wally is thinking the same thing... I think the only way Lokombo makes it to FA is if he's still chasing NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred C Dobbs Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Good article about Canucks in the Senior Bowl: http://3downnation.com/2017/01/31/scouts-saying-cfl-prospects-senior-bowl/ Nice hit by Herdman in the video clip. Could he step into Hurl's shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Blue Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I would be pretty happy if the Bombers left the draft with both Herdman and Gray. But then there's that huge hole we have at National receiver... Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'd rather Gray and a receiver out of our first two picks. Herdman really thinks he's gonna make the NFL. We need players out of those picks, not guys to wait on. Gray is an engineer too, so might not be into football for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Blue Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Herdman is a smart cookie too. He apparently has a 3.99 GPA and could go into med school. He's indicated that he wants to give pro football a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're getting a great player I don't mind waiting for a year or two. I don't really see the benefit of taking a lesser player who will come in and play special teams and maybe rotate in on offence/defence for a few snaps. We already have plenty of guys like that. I think the team is in a good enough position now that we can afford to wait on a star rather than intentionally taking a worse player just to have them in the lineup right away.

I'm not advocating that at all. There's a handful of guys among a group of really good players who are really chasing the NFL or have legit NFL interest. That has to factor into decision making when deciding who to pick. As a for instance, based on what I've seen I wouldn't single Senior out of the top group of OL as being more dominant, but he has pedigree and a legit NFL shot. In the CFL it's very likely Grey is a better player when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the CFL it's very likely Grey is a better player when all is said and done. I see. Certainly I wouldn't want to use a top pick on a guy who has been drafted or signed an FA deal. But Grey will almost definitely get a mini-camp invite and we've seen that that can turn into an NFL deal (rarely, but possible). I'd still use a top pick on him for sure. I put Herdman in that same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Is Herdman a middle linebacker or outside?... that might be the sealer for me... if he can play MLB, might be worth the risk to find a ratio changer there... Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Blue Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Jordan, who we've been talking about is a MLB. He has a twin brother Justin, who is an Outside Linebacker and is also apparently pretty good. They are from Winnipeg and are James Reed's sons.

Noeller Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'd reckon the next project for the league is getting the damn schedule out. That's usually around this time of year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
