Tracker Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 31 minutes ago, Gotmilt said: CFL draft is a crap shoot at the best of times, taking a chance on a big athletic WR who may never see the field is a chance id be willing to take. He has the tools where as Etienne obviously did not- that's poor drafting. Waggonner obviously did not pan out for us but that doesn't make him a bad pick either, with the salaries in the CFL a lot of times the guys could make more money pursuing other careers as much as we don't like it. With Waggoner having jumped the fence, I do wonder if trying to swing a deal for Judge would be a good idea. Waggoner's CV wasn't as good as Judge's and a ratio-buster NI linebacker is always welcome- there has to be another Mike O'Shea out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we need to but i wouldn't be against it if the riders can't get a deal done and Walters can give him a similar contract Waggoner had. I have a feeling Judge is a very similar player to Waggonner and Jones did not take into account he would have to pay a STer 1st rd money. That's why Riderfans is pretty testy these days.

Judge seems to have a higher ceiling, so may be worth pursuing, providing Jones is sane. Nickthesizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I told my brain "fetch me the number of that internet maligned Canadian receiver the Bombers drafted in the second round", and my brain came back and said "#15!". Only afterwards did I realize I should have added "and NOT Aaron Hargreaves!". Body is back, but brain is still gone fishing. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i saw their testing results i can't recall exactly but i believe Waggonner's were slightly better but comparable, i think the fact Judge played for UCLA helps a lot though and his pedigree might be better with better coaching and playing in a better conference.

Goalie Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Out of curiosity what is the deal with Burton. What does placing him on the suspended list mean? Miss a flight? Passport issues? Why would they do that and not release him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm.. technically Gray is under contract too... just not to us. So, ALL of our DP's are signed to professional contracts. Jones has drafted one player that has a valid contract signed, Auclair. Who has signed with.. the Bucs. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 With Burton (for the time being?) out of the running and leading in the race for the Jernigan Award, I am jumping on the TJ Thorpe bandwagon. Santos-Knox, Carmichael and Jeffcoat on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I think I'm an early believer in Roc Carmichael. It just SOUNDS like an old-school 1950s CFL name......I'm down with that. Nickthesizz and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Interesting. Means nothing but Carmichael listed as LB on depth chart. I think Jeffcoat is a safe bet. I'll go Nick Temple at MLB and we will go with a surprise guy in Porter at dB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
