2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
bb1 and 5 others reacted to MOBomberFan for a topic
Now that we are being rewarded for it, playing 8 Canadians at times and relying less on the new Nationalized import rules seems like less of a failure to utilize the roster and more of a strategy to lock down a bonus draft pick. Great incentive to play Nationals even when you have Nationalized imports with snaps to spare6 points -
I know we're one of them. Ed Tait slipped it into one of his recent articles. Winnipeg now has 10 selections in the 2024 CFL Draft — each of its picks in every round, a bonus in the second round, 20th overall, as a reward for snaps by Canadian players in 2023 and now Ottawa’s fifth-round choice, 40th overall, secured from the Brown trade. The Blue Bombers will pick 8th, 17th, 20th, 28th, 37th, 40th, 46th, 55th, 64th and 73rd overall. https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/01/18/dru-brown-traded-to-ottawa-for-draft-pick/6 points

agree....If it came down to it..we a better team with Scoen/Strev than we are with a bloated BO salary...especially when we can get same out put there with an entry level, or second contract import (Hello Mills or Logan)5 points

I’ve thought this for the last 4 years tbh. A lifetime of watching the Argos and Lions pay anybody and everybody with zero consequence? Yeah if Bombers are contenders they should go over every year. **** it.4 points -
That's all I'm saying, winning is better than a bonus draft pick and getting this draft pick made winning games harder than it needed to be. Coaches set things to hard mode when they set their roster.4 points

At this point, as much as I like Brady, I'd pay Schoen and go import and cheaper at rb if we can only keep one.4 points -
thats why if we landed a Payton Logan in FA....or a rookie clone in lieu of BO if he gonna hold us hostage where we would excell in the screen game...guys like that...get a small hole...or get edge outside with the explosive speed are eating up huge yards....we have lacked that aspect and at times it has hurt us when our deep to intermediate game was off...or taken away and we had no answer to it4 points

Who exactly do you think we got from reputation? Bailey hit the market and didn't have much for offers. For an example, a guy like Bane was already getting better offers than him last year. A guy like Alexander has been kind of a mess with injury and diminishing returns. Didn't have much of a market. Everyone got paid. Brown needs to play.4 points -
I would hope that we will see a few blue chip DT prospects in camp this year. It was definitely a short coming last year. Walker played well but not great. We need great.3 points

I would like both and see no reason we couldn't have had both. The playoffs do not determine the 2nd rounder, it is based on regular season. What part of our regular season let you down? The 1st place finish? What we did with our roster in the post season is completely independent of this. We had secured the extra 2nd rounder before the playoffs started.3 points -
I think it's a crazy rule in the first place.3 points

not bringing in at lest 2 legit NT or at least beastly DT's to compete in camp....legitimately compete against incumbents would be a recruitment failure, as that would be 3 yrs now running ignoring a glaring hole....much like the Rider woes on o-line2 points

He was not mediocre. He was, at the very least, average. And average was good enough to get us to back to back Grey Cups. Not everyone is an all-star. He was a stopgap, but he came in with zero expectations and was cheap, which allowed us to push salaries elsewhere.2 points -
Argos cut bladek ahead of free agency. Some one wake up the riders and their fan base time for them to get all hyped sign him to a big deal and anoint him the starter and cure all to their ol.2 points

I'm not saying we dispose of Ricky, but we need that true NT. With the clusterfart that is the XFL/USFL merger cutting most of their teams out there should be a ton of talent now looking for work at every position.2 points -
........gotta be a diamond or two in that bunch......And I know we always pick wisely so Walters will have his cup full and hopefully it brims over2 points

Yes indeed! Today we lament the impending loss of Oleary Orange and crow about the potential in Tui Eli.... both of whom were 4th rounders. More picks in the 2nd is a great thing2 points -
The bonus draft pick is great but I agree that it is not something that should not affect our roster selection. If we can get it and still win great.2 points

I read somewhere that barely 10% of CFL draft picks make it on to a regular season roster. Of course, your odds of finding one of those 10% goes up with more selections. As we creep towards cap hell trying to extend everyone it's important to have guys in the pipe 14-4, first in the West and a championship berth on hard mode! AND a bonus draft pick! Stop bragging!2 points -

Came real close to doing both... besides, the draft picks are rewarded to the teams with most Canadian snaps by end of the season, not the most Canadian snaps in the championship game... so the two things have little to do with one another... To answer the question though, obviously a GC! But they are not mutually exclusive.2 points -
I could see a trade by us pre or during draft to add an established talent....or move up cup....Canadian draft is a crap shoot at best...prob 25% of all picks amount to some kind of legit/game changing play...rest you could all throw in a pail and toss one to each team randomly till they all gone2 points

The need to be a starter before we really know if he's ready may turn out to be a career killer for Brown. Who's to say if he signed a 1 year deal with the Bombers & continued to learn under Zach & Buck there may have been a better opportunity next season. I just see this guy as the 2024 version of Nick Arbuckle. Then there's Ottawa itself. That team & coaching staff is going to ruin him.2 points -

The Bombers did Brown no favours trading him to Ottawa. he had a chance to be a very good CFL qb but now he's in Ottawa's system. he'll be trotted out as the starter, beat up. spit out & fail. Just like every qb after Hank Burris that they've had. They've all been used & abused. That's just how that team rolls. Lousy coaching & lousy team. I'm sad we lost Dru Brown but I'm more sad that he ended up in Ottawa.2 points -

Yeah, but we're going to lose players to FA anyways. So, Walters will have to shop a bit. We don't have young depth to step in.2 points -

Hard enough for Walters to re-sign his own FA's, never mind having money left over to shop for outside talent.2 points -
The difference between have one guy like lawler/schoen and having 2 is gigantic. Lawler and schoen both worked off each other really well last year. Lawler came in and played like his hair was on fire then teams shifted to him and schoen took over with all those tds and yards before getting hurt.2 points

Stickem and one other reacted to JuranBoldenRules for a topic
A lot off scrambles though, right? And teams are rolling coverage on him so there's guys nearby below and above. Schoen's averages are higher with Lawler last season, and his games with Brown are well below his average. I think his connection with Collaros will probably keep him here really. I could see Bailey and BOLO following Brown. I'm just not sure anyone will commit to Bailey being more than a 3-4 type receiver.2 points -
We've also had less holes to fill than other teams. Other than at DT, we haven't really had a need to go hard in FA.2 points

This is a bad take. A rookie leading the league in yards doesn't fly off the page? And then backing it up with another fantastic season....keep in mind in his rookie campaign, he was the guy. There was no Lawler etc taking coverage away. Schoen is top 2 rec in the league right now easily.2 points -

Should the CFL open FA earlier? Perhaps after December? That's the only way you can alleviate those concerns. Unfortunately, even with a contract, you're always on edge.1 point
