I guess anything is possible, but I don't think walters would bring him back. Plus reality must be sinking in that no one wants him. For one of the best lbers ever, being a last gap add mid season after no one wanted him all off season would be pretty embarrassing.

I think at a 6th or later, he makes sense if you like his skill set. Personally, kinda meh on him. Thomas was once a good Canadian player, though. Kolo has always been up jumped TCF. Both are extreme shades of suck. At least we are down to two of those guys.

People always think that, but modern movies have some outrageous content, just not main stream movies. The ability for low budget movie makers to find a crowd now is way easier with all the streaming services. The free and niche services from tubi to shudder have some pretty out there stuff

4th round or later I think you can do what ever you want with picks, doesn’t matter much with the miss rate in that range. I don’t think any one should look higher than that for him, it’s a gamble on a gamble. Some one may well get stupid though. I have no idea where he is going to go in the NFL draft but he’s gonna be down there 2-3 years. He could well come up after that and bring no value.

It’s true the pipe line has not been strong. id agree but I think rourke mania has a chance to be the wtf pick of the draft. It’s not a strong ol class but decently deep imo. The 2nd and 3rd tier guys will be better than the usual “well you can’t teach size, and say on a d1 practice squad his whole career” guys. I think we will see more career usports guys with good intangibles. Horth and Pyle will likely depend on strong 1on1s to move up. I really hope we take one of them. We’ve succeeded with guys built like Pyle in the past and in a hurry. Horth the short arms will really put some teams off but I love that nasty undersized type at C. It’s high floor vs high upside imo. Horth should easily be a strong 6th ol for a team like us. Pyle could be an impact starter at C in year 2. Mobility in the drills is gonna be what speaks volumes. If we took one of those two and Fortin in the first we’d be in very nice shape.

Nah. Was the kid actually playing in that scene? Who ever did it had chops for sure. I can’t imagine spending all that time to master a banjo though. That’s like being the best wing T coach in the nfl today.

Idk we don’t have a strong history of drafting u of m kids in the top of the draft. Only gray comes to mind in the mafia era.

Canadian deliverance. No burt reynolds lots of pig noises.

A million times over. Beautiful architecture and soo many advantages here. Some thing for every one here.

Yep. Giving young nis a shot would really help vs long in the tooth guy we know can’t get it done. Once all the old guys retire maybe it’ll happen lol. first mocked draft https://3downnation.com/2025/03/11/john-hodges-2025-cfl-mock-draft-1-0/ us taking rourke would be the most shocking bomber news in ages. Have we ever drafted a qb?

Money and not a fraction of the taste or culture. The best town is the last one you see on your way out.

Lawson yeah, as long as he’s 100% he should get the most reps. I just hope Thomas doesn’t eat up woods snaps.

I figured the reality of the situation had set in on him that he wasn’t getting signed by this point too. Guess not, not much of a chance he gets another look any where. A lot of vets get that thought from us on their way out, but ba is legit one of the best candidates for coaching. Might make more sense to have him under Jy after hall retires though.

An absolute top tier S. Great over all as a db, but man he did it all back then at S. Solidified our coverage, put the fear into opposition WRs, stopped the run and made all the plays.

Ba calls it a career. https://3downnation.com/2025/03/09/veteran-bombers-db-brandon-alexander-announces-retirement-from-cfl/ 8 years strong with 1 professional team. To the Blue Bombers that gave me a chance to play ball again I’m grateful and hopefully every day of my 8 years, I showed how grateful I was/am for that opportunity. My teammates/fans over that period of time made it easy to go to put it on the line everyday. I can’t thank the fans enough that accepted me into your home of Winnipeg, Manitoba. You’ve seen me start my career as a 23-year-old young adult. Always stood behind me and watched me grow into the football player y’all loved to cheer for. Winnipeg only shines because you all put the lights in and on the stadium. I will miss the love I’ve felt over the years. #1 fanbase in the CFL without a doubt. And to my teammates, ya’ll already know what it is. Too many memories were given to me that I will carry for the rest of my life. Can’t replace that. “Love y’all boys.” 37 out”

I mean I totally believe they went over by 300k+ that’d be a huge blow for the lions to lose both picks. does the league have some one who is the acting commissioner? Haven’t heard any updates on the role being filled in a while.

Yeah that’s pretty insane to put a forfeited draft pick into the waiver wire for priority

None that I’ve seen, which made it extra spicy for me. Last I heard it was up in the air with Randy stepping down. Yeah honestly for us that’s a great position. we killed it with upper middle picks last year and in the past. With bc and edm losing their picks I wonder if they look to move back up and trade with us. I’d be in favour of flipping 6 for an established ni like we did with Lawson. That said, if we could get horth or Pyle at any pick I’d be very happy. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/rashaan-gaulden/32004741-5530-2029-3b23-6366532d8402 if he’s old af I’m scared to find out what I am. Or half the posters on here lol. Sat on the stamps pr for a bit, like 3 years ago. it’s a strange one that’s for sure.

I can’t imagine we give him 200k or any thing. But he’d be sick to get back.

Love adding bolduc. Tons of varied experience in the cfl, strong connection to Logan as well. I also love the diversifying of our offensive coaching staff from guys who orbited around lapo to all kinds of experience outside our norm. (Including Jackson in that as well) Billy Jean is an interesting one. Very well regarded football mind. Feel like he’s a strong Xs and Os guy who is a bit more raw in coaching pro players and positions in general. I’m sure he’s gonna be like James Stanley for the O. He’s gonna be an assistant to the offensive coaches, where as Jackson will be a more experience guy who can support hogan in his transition to full time play caller. We’ve done a great job of bringing in quality, experienced guys front office to coaching staff. Especially when giving younger guys a chance to move up, by surrounding them with highly experienced guys who can help them develop. If those guys can gel with the mafia we should see a lot of fresh looks and adjustments. Half our front office is new, with the 3 pp directors/ scouts, while Costello is the only guy on offence who is holding over at his position. A real interesting take out of that “B.C. is currently slated to pick third overall in this year’s draft but is expected to forfeit that selection due to salary cap violations.” if thats the case im alll for it. They flaunted the cap as bad as any one ever has.

https://3downnation.com/2025/03/05/b-c-lions-promote-longtime-scout-rob-ralph-to-assistant-general-manager/ kind of an odd move for this time of year.

I hate the off season

You’re right I just looked it up, 22 reps at 177 lbs. such a beast. Wish we kept him. Augustine did a ton of hard work to make him self fit the pro style of rb better. Not many guys make them self quicker/faster as a pro. That guy has future coach written all over him. SnC, RBs, or out side of football. we’ve had guys like blink excel and guys chiseled out of granite fail. But that’s the same at every position in every league. Leg power is key, but I think you see a lot of that projecting well from 10 yard splits and agility drills For RBs it’s more about having the right mind set for the physical tools they have then refining the running style to work with both. I see soo many big backs run away from contact where as smaller backs understand how to offset impact by not letting guys square up rather than trying to avoid contact all together. What was once considered the balanced back, is now the go to. Not too big they struggled to get through holes or get small, big enough to bounce off blocks and push the pile. Quickness has always been the biggest value for a rb imo. Change of direction, explosive acceleration, pile pushing soo much comes from quickness. Flexibility, balance, and toughness are what unleash the potential of a quick player. Grant showed that in spades. As much as we saw him stiff arm guys, we saw him just keep his base under him and fight off tackles while running at cover teams. I still think he could’ve been soo much more on offense too. He’s better all around skill wise than Chad Owens was.

Gotta have the low ceiling sts based imp for camp lol. Guy like that will either translate speed to the cfl field or be tcf
