That guy is a talent that demands a call and consideration from every team in the league. He'd instantly elevate any DL considerably.

1 earned modp, 1 default. If it was just his career here, he wouldn’t get a sniff of the hof. lots of guys got rings. His bc career is hof material by it self. That stretch was one of the best by any lber ever.

Im a bit surprised biggie went out a bomber and not a lion. I love the guy and he had a couple big years here. But nothing like what he did in BC.

Yep, they love his intangibles. Outside of decent hands he doesn't have any pro wr traits. Gonna be soo gutted if we push him over clercius.

That or they reach in the draft and push a guy early. Now, this draft is not a strong WR draft at all. But even outside of the top 2-3, who are alright, you have a mix of guys who either have size/hands or have strong measurables. Taking from either group is about as good as ajou any way, imo. The gap between the 2-3 top tiers of wrs in this draft isn't huge. They all got question marks and need development. If we don't get Cenacle or Demontagnac, getting 2 mid tier guys would be pretty good. Like Djete (though some one will reach for him), Gavin owen who would offer a ton of early value as a teams guy too, Or sibley, or mcbean. I could also see us falling in love with Ojutalayo for his teams value as well.

It is, but I don't think the ALS takes any moral flaw seriously. I'd note that Chad did not shut up and do everything he was supposed to. He spoke out against his punishment twice, failed to meet the terms of his deal on time, and didn't he have an incident at a college or hs game he was attending while he was suspended? For real, he's a slightly bigger Corcoran with one of the biggest character red flags in football.

Thats true, but he could sign and challenge the suspension just like Lemon did.

Short yardage is 99% having a brain and effort. KG was the best short-yardage QB we've seen. Wasn't worth the injuries, though. Currently, yeah in modern terms. 2016 is the next best right now. That year didn't pan out as aggressively as it could've but it gave us a massive and badly needed influx of ni talent at the right positions. (Loffler, Corney, Couture, and Gauthier.) 2024 has the potential to be that kind of draft for us as well. Wallce, MCI, Clercius, Leroux, and if Manu hits it up here.

my hope is that the biggest reason we picked him and did it early was we liked the intangibles from the interview and conversations with his coach. If the kids soft skills are as good as his raw arm talent, he’s got as good a chance as it gets. I don’t expect any thing of value on the field this year from him. I’m hoping he shows a bit more of what he did in nfl pre season, but mainly that he shows great strides between now and next years camp.

Nailed it. When Ajous suspension is up, how long before the als sign him? I Bet they already made the call lol

I don't think we will even get a decent idea of how good he is/can be this year. He's extremely toolsy but just as raw. I suspect he will be glued to qb4 or qb3 spot this year unless something crazy happens. Either moving him up, or failing one of those early practice red flag checks.

glad he finally made it here, it’s good timing for us and for him. For us, it doesn’t fix our qb situation but it does deepen our talent pool and we need any help we can get at qb. That said, now that he’s signed if any one would give us a second or higher back for him in this draft class i’d take it in a heart beat. He does have a ton of talent, and I think he has a chance to be good. I could see mos falling in love with him. It would be hilarious if he was one of the first cuts though. Small chance it happens too, we have a quick process of elimination for qbs no matter the talent. if they don’t show the mental toughness and mental capabilities quickly they get shown the door. taylor didn’t see the field today, but he was giving this blank stare i don’t like, should cut him. Saw him throw a ball under arm to a coach on the side line and not to over blow it, he might be the goat

hull is an excellent pick up for the coaching staff. Outside the usual circle of guys we’ve been using. Think it’s a serious mistake to not have a qb coach, but not much to be done about that now

he’s got very comparable wheels to lawler actually. very similar style and skill set as well. The big difference is kenny developed the polished route running and had that understanding of how to get open. That’s always the case really. Wrs are a crapshoot, far more guys with the tools needed fail then make it. Even the ones that make it like lawler almost always need a year and 2 full camps to turn the corner.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
That’s a big part of it. his size is basically what’s expected, doesn’t have the athleticism to break away at the top end or separate at the break. he also doesn’t have a great get off move or route running polish to get open. Not like he’s un athletic, or bad technically at his position. he’s just kind of average at every thing save for his hands. He’s clearly got top level hands. He also played 4 years at a small school and basically put up 1 good season of production in a year and a half. A guy like that in a program like that has to do more for more years. His upside would be lawler, but he has a lot of work to do to get close to that.
