Over all I give our draft value a B+, with a good chunk of guys who could be on the roster. The fit I give a WTF. This draft had a bunch of guys who will likely be starters for years in this league and likely a couple all stars. Outside of our top 2 picks, very little chance we have any of that. We basically reverted to the thing from a few years ago where we draft all the special teams guys with a good floor and little ceiling. It got us into trouble previously, leaving us with weak starting Canadians. We’ve continued to lose starting Canadians this off season and not replaced their potential. It’s a calculated risk, guess we will see how it pans out. We drafted two ratio breaking lbers in Shay and smith who can both play, but we didn’t need to fix our lb core. They have tons of upside and a very good chance to fulfill. We could platoon them or start one this year imo. One should be a starter by next year. In our system it makes a lot of sense to flip a lber to ni and use the imp on either line. We drafted a qb, lol, who does have upside and arm talent, but it’s gonna be tough for him to go from playing usports Ds to pro Ds. Novak is a sequel to cadwallader Gauthier etc. teams guy very little upside. Vibert is a high floor low ceiling ol that fits well this year but idk if he is starter material. Corcoran, acceptable size, good polish great work ethic solid teams guy. Ball while his dad sucks, is a strong value grab. Good enough athlete with a teams inclination. This pick looks worse because the draft had soo many stud db prospects. Lang is a low ceiling undersized sub par athlete at book end. Could be teams but likely has to add weight to be useful on D. We basically drafted another gowanlok. Finally we drafted an injured raw lotto ticket in Uwubanmwen.

Yeah it’s gonna be a tough go. They probably really like his intangibles. maybe he’s a guy you bring in to look at as a fb/te/goal line stand etc and see if you can mold him into some thing rotational with that.

Does he have the frame to go up significantly from 239? I mean I don’t think he could be less of rusher at 265+ but idk if he has that transformation in him

Cmon now he’s literally 3/4 the man Sheridan was coming out of college lol! Laing idk if he has much to contribute to the ar, but I think he’s a good scrappy kid who is valuable as a tc body. Good off the line good hands tough nasty and high motor. But really undersized and not an athlete.

Hes a solid pick yeah. He could be a 6th ol in the league this year. He’s not a road grader, but he’s strong with decent feet and the right head space. Backed up most of his career before finally becoming a starter last year. He can also be a C or a G. Really good value at that spot in the depth. He’s more of a blood n guts type but the league always needs guys like him. He’s better than that, solid though not likely spectacular.

Hence the slightly larger. He isn’t really less athletic, McKnight had Terrible measurables. They are clones play style wise. Smooth, smart route runners who under stand how to read zone cover and manipulate man cover, not fast or long or quick or any thing special athletically. Good hands.

I’m gonna be kinda surprised if guys like Pyle and von muehldorfer go un drafted. But I’d be pretty happy to scoop a guy like that as a udfa.

Best part of the draft coverage

Tachinski lol then we convert him to lber!

I’d love to see us take Pyle

He’s a slightly bigger ni kelvin mcnight… well that’s his upside any way Ol and tcf

27” vert lol. Tested like ajou ajou last year, only he’s half a foot shorter.

Tsn goes off air for game in progress on other channels after round 2, cfl.ca site crashes, tsn stream of draft loses the plot with one pick. Yep just another day as a cfl fan

Mbb migs over here taking swings lol Oh man he can never play in this league. Imagine if the rourkes teams play each other…
