To be fair, the thread I read was prior to him signing with us... I'm sure their tune has changed now that he's with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age and roster space is the issue imo. Except he was never cut by the Riders, he was a free agent after last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would your opinion of this signing change if you found out that (as an example) Irvin told Saskatchewan he had no interest in coming back to play for them? That's a fair point...

Well still don't like the signing. If Irvin is the one that decided to move on, he really needs a new agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do we trade down our first draft pick and take two players who are generic top tens in this years sweepsatkes ..... if so what would we actually want back in return: an extra draft pick or a specific veteran?

If we ever trade down, I dont want it lower than the Ti-Cats. Say if we trade down with TiCats, I think #1-3 picks will be... Vandervoort, Woods & Gray. So we still have - Herdman, Bladek & Ankou on #4 as our choices. Our #1 & #23 for TiCats's #4 & #13? Edited March 16, 2017 by M.O.A.B.

WBBFanWest Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 We pick 1 and 6 right now. I really don't see why we would trade down unless we acquired an additional pick. Even then, I can't see how we don't benefit from having the first pick overall. I remember all those years of not having a first round pick, and now we have two of them including the first overall. It doesn't get better than that. IC Khari, bearpants and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally against paying a bunch more money to our tackle just to have a Canadian who may or may not be as good as Hardrick. IMO priority one is keeping Nichols upright not filling the ratio on the OL... at this point we have enough good Canadian starters elsewhere.

Foucault is almost guaranteed an upgrade at RT... and probably a ratio changing RT in CFL for ten years. As for Ruby, I'm more looking at him as a game ready backup if Hardrick goes down - guys still young, could be a gamechanger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
