Wallace in my opinion is going to be the best O-line guy from that draft when all said and done...The professional coaching he has had already has advanced him so much...and from all I have heard he is a sponge and just "gets it" immediately...and....the bigger part he puts in the work for his craft Not saying that because he is a Bomber drafted guy....Just based on what has been seen....and things talked about If we get lucky and the kid who went to Detroit gets here....we will have grabbed the 2 highest upside oline guys in that draft4 points

I watched a lot of RSEQ football again this past season. Not as many high end prospects coming out of there this year as previously. However, I'd be shocked if Jeremiah Ojo doesn't turn into at least a solid rotational DL in the CFL. Tested really well at the combine, and was really dominant in RSEQ. He reminds me of Josh Archibald, who is now with the Alouettes, but I'd say he's quicker. If Kyle Walters is reading this, pick him, and you're welcome.4 points -
Hopefully they reign him back in...at some point.3 points

Wallace's slide was due to uncertainty about the level of NFL interest there would be in him IIRC. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Walters indicated that we would be going 3 IMP at OL to start the season as well in an interview on the Bomber site, in the article CFL Combine Day 1. Personally, I think this will be a good move and allows Wallace to break in a little more slowly.3 points

I'd expect to get 3-4 guys who can play this year. The OL group is probably the deepest since 2019. Talking about guys who will end up in the CFL. There's a **** load of good edge/3 technique guys for DL. Including the BYU guy who has potential to drop into a spot where he'd be a real steal based on how he's turned off the personnel guys in both leagues. There's a ton of very good DB's. There's a solid receiver group, although some guys in both receiver/DB group might get a good look in the NFL. I kind of wonder what other teams are prioritizing. There's a chance for the Bombers in the first round, remembering BC's pick is off the board and added back to the end of the 1st round to Calgary, to grab a real impactful DL, a OL who could play this year, or a starting receiver IMO. Like if I'm Walters and our pick comes around, Ethan Jordan still on the board, don't think I could pass on him. That guy is a star.3 points -

Wallace just improved as time went on for sure. He is going to start for us at some point.2 points

Sliding in the draft and sliding in the rankings are 2 different things though & he slid in both. If there was legit NFL interest, his ranking would have gone up, not down. There were a couple knocks on him (weight and foot speed) but nothing that couldn't be improved on over time. It was also a deep draft after a bunch of players deferred from 2023 - he probably would have gone higher in other years. Whatever the reason, I'm glad he fell far enough for us to grab him!2 points

He was fairly highly regarded. The CFL had him as their #2 ranked player in the fall before he started to slide (#6 in the winter & # 12 in the spring). We got him at 17 so a bit of a steal when you figure a few of the guys rated higher would be getting NFL looks. FWIW, Ferguson had him going 3rd in his final mock draft while Hodge had him going 4th in his first mock (16th in his 2nd).2 points

Wallace has for all intent and purpose impressed at every opportunity he has been afforded since being drafted. I don't recall last year was he a highly sought after? He, if I remember was our third pick late in the second round?? As has been hashed over many times most people have good hope for MCI and Clercius. IF Wallace continues to show growth and MCI develops into something for us, I would think we will look back and consider last year's draft a success from virtually every metric, just based on those three........My hope is we can get another Wallace...yes, I know easier said than done..... IF we can grab another O-lineman with solid potential, I think we look decent with our CDN talent. DL, LB, DB based on best athlete available which all seem to be fairly solid positions in this year's draft with at least one Ol in our top three is gravy... Honestly remember the old days of how our drafts looked......a draft result like we saw last year would have been unfathomable, now our expectations are that's our floor.....2 points

The strangest thing is the timing. Doing it half way through the off season makes no sense. If it was planned, you’d think he’d leave after the gc. Or to give the most help stay till just before rookie camp. The timing makes he think he was pushed out. Despite the fact he left with pure class. 2 years is a really strange band aid term. Montreal continuing to do Montreal things. The self sabotage and infighting they’ve had the past 10 ish years is insane. Idk if the ALs will ever have the stability we have here. It’s messed up, they have the market and people to draw from. But no one will build the stadium or invest in the market. Toronto is permanently dead as a market. edm and cal are on life support. Even with massive cash edm and cal won’t fix easily. But Montreal has the team and staff to maintain success with as good a fan support as they can with how much they are willing to spend on the venue.1 point -

Thanks for the info, regarding Wallace......It's nice to have a place where people have knowledge top of head and are willing to share! Here is to the hope another Wallace falls to us...Could someone on here who follows closer and has a better knowledge base of mine regarding the O-line prospects break down what they think of expected top O-lineman in this draft?1 point

Just took a peek at the Canadian rock charts to see what the kids are listening to these days. Turns out they are listening to literally the exact same bands that I was. https://ca.billboard.com/charts/canada-mainstream-rock That is simultaneously comforting and depressing. It likely means kids aren't listening to rock at all.1 point -
