Pretty sad to get out drafted by Chris jones lol. clearly the riders go ol here ya They do and it’s Hergel bit surprised they didn’t go with a guy sure to be here

Slow af I hate it And the rbs go mardner good for us

That’d be the smart thing to do

Good player even jones couldn’t mess it up

I’m not sure baker was ever better than average. He’s made some awful deals and ran teams into the ground.

Have the IPP lead to the global draft. It’d be super easy and work great for both sides.

As of this year they make the same scale. But they have the most incentives to stick it out with the nfl. about half or so, yeah. The other half played in the ncaa most recently. Dibs on Hawaii and the South Pacific!

The 3 dl and the lber that went between our picks. The dl all have nfl deals/camp invites. Maybe it was about who would be here in camp this year.

CFL has him listed as a db but he’s a lber, or maybe they think he can pass rush. A draft with impact players and we went with low upside teams guys lol. I hope that’s not an indicator for the cis draft later today. Hopefully they got em here so we don’t need to cram teamers onto the roster. dean and couch both got passed on in the draft despite no nfl deals seemingly. Either would be real nice for camp.

My draft wish list for our top 4 picks are De Luke brubacher, dt Daniel okpoko, a top 9 ol, and wr Kevens clercius. We’ve got 3 picks in the top 20, brubacher would have to be our top pick unless his nfl tc invite really cools his stock off, then some one would have to fall and we’d need to get real lucky to scoop one of those guys probably clercius at 28. An nfl bound ol like Hergel would be the dream. The global draft similarly has a bunch of higher end nfl bound prospects. A good punter, one of the dl and another lber would be great. https://3downnation.com/2024/04/29/top-eight-specialists-in-the-2024-cfl-global-draft/

That’s a damn good way to put it. In general while I enjoy drafts a bunch of sports I follow, the lay out and time seems like a dinosaur. I feel like a really good podcast style setting with portions that involve each team and their picks in a fast paced format would reach todays target demo for sports a lot better. If we take 2 guys on the front 6 in our first 3-4 picks along with 1 ol I think we will be in great shape.

Any one else think the draft was better when it was mid day. Lightning fast and mostly followed on line? The tsn/live streams have been gong shows, and painfully slow. Making a big show of picking through the best of what’s left is like a tired old trope.

We have just 2 guys for the 3 starters. One of which is Murphy who has I think 2? Games in the cfl. We could use 2-3 more bodies for camp. One maybe two could be late round or udfa. But we need guys to develop to replace em. Can’t expect all 3 to play a full season.

We for sure need a wr from the draft but it has no urgency of being an early pick. We need to get a rotational front 6 guy or two and the ol could just as well be a futures guy. That’s the one position we can draft a teams type guy at.

Yeah. I am optimistic that we won’t give vets a blind walk back to their starting jobs of previous years now.

I tend to agree I think in general defensive stars are less of a priority league wide. For us we lacked WRs and were spurned so frequently while we churned out dl talent. I think they are stuck in that mind set. We should be able to get a good rookie nose though. Dl is deep with imp talent.

I’d be happy with him in a none 1st or 2nd round pick. The drop off from the guys who will likely be available in the first like duguay to Bosse is step. With another drop off from guys who will be in the nfl for a couple years. I think Bosse is a guy who will be reached for though. I think duguay will go over Wallace. Given the current 5 of the top 10 ol being gone, maybe one more signs in the nfl, Bosse would be the 4th best ol that would be in the league and available. I’d rather take a shot on a guy with an nfl deal than use a first on Bosse. Dobson came in about 15 too heavy, Bosse is a handy 20-30 above that, with a fraction of the athleticism. I think the threat to an ol going to ssk or mitel going to ott is arku or Dublanko if edm gets crazy.

Between the dl/lbers and ol available our first round pick should be some one who contributes rotationally right away or a futures guy who should start and could be a star. With the wrs and the usual player/positional reach we could well end up with two of those guys.

Stiggers is good for the league imo. Should increase the flow of blue chip jc kids to the league.

That’s pretty wild but he’s a gooder

I think we will see a lot of udfa deals this year for Canadian prospects.

Streaming on Amazon would be huge.

Let’s be real too, they don’t have owners a stadium or a market for expansion. If any thing if the league tries to shoe horn a team on the coast it’ll cost the league and every team. What was it, 3 teams over the cap this last year? Average of 100k with a dollar for dollar penalty? 200k right there. Teams just stopped handing the top fa wr 300k but started giving bananas money to ni ol. They could spend it ni doubt. Some teams didn’t spend the cap and some lost money either way. 250k isn’t making a big change. They could just use that money to bump up pr money and or spots. No team would be against that

If he dies, he dies. I think they clearly tried to bring in some nose tackles since stove left. Just doesn't seem like they have found what they wanted in one. They were really hard stuck on walker last year too. I can imagine being a nose in the cfl isn't easy. Unlike the NFL you will have to run and move a lot more and can be stuck on the field for a lot longer. Might be that they haven't felt comfortable with the ability of the bigs abilities to stay on the field and remain effective.
