Also, he isn't as big but since Normand left we haven't had a good blocker for in front of Harris and he can fill that role.

To be fair, they could run. They just couldn't do anything else. Jade Etienne is the scrawniest pro football player I've ever seen. I loved our approach to this draft. Walters n co did a great job of getting immediate value while keeping high upside. Seemingly every player we picked could legitimately be on the roster and contribute with play on teams, and short yardage packages.

Great point, those two are not todd krenbrinks. The OL battle this year is going to be epic. Lots of talented young guys, spots within reach, some good players are going to get cut. At this point NI wr and NI ol are the spots to watch.

Im saying those 3 have star potential. While couture foketi and speller have starter potential. And neufeld is imo the average level of a starter / 6th ol in the cfl. Go watch some of their film, especially Eli. 40 pancakes in his freshmen year. If he had stayed healthy and not wavered on football he would have been an nfl draft pick and never seen the light of day up here. He would be a very good prospect as an IMP.

didnt say this year...😂 Bigblue204 called it. Though thats about as tough to call as riderfans talking trash before LD. Yeah all 3 guys have star potential on the OL. Fast turn around talent that for most teams in most years would make the game day roster in year one and see some reps if not more. I think one of those guys won't start, or won't last long starting. Foketi didn't play well at guard, and I'm not sold on couture. Those two sides by side seems risky. I think Gray steals a job this year at some point. 3 guys with that little experience would be disastrous no doubt. I think its gonna be a tough start to the year for the OL in general with the group noeller listed + gray. He’s different. He’s close to 260 pounds and the way he runs, he’s violent. Walters on Tariq lachance. Man, that just screams football player. Exume being called the best Sts player in the draft is really interesting too.

It would be unreal if we ended up with gray, desjarlais and eli as our starting interior OL.The level of talent we have at NI ol despite losing 2 starters in the offseason is just unreal.

or at any time between 13 months ago, and the past 10+ years. Its a nice change of pace.

Im, sure he will get a look somewhere this year. IMO he doesn't stack up to the NIs we have now. Peterman and Simonise are head and shoulders above him as a developmental player with less time in the league. Plus Olivera has hands. He isn't as fast as Demski, but he is kinda similar in skill set. Our NI depth on the offense is impressive.

Love the draft from the bombers. 3 guys with our first 3 picks that can all start in this league. The OL is gonna have some tough decisions this year. A very talented young NI OL is gonna get cut and land with another team.

Crazy that kongbo is now a guy who likely plays this year and betts isnt. That injury recovery is not going to lack for motivation.

I think one pick like that and one pick for futures would be good. Though without offseason if we draft all guys in the first couple rounds that'll be in camp it could help replenish our stocks. Looking at the last fist full of years draft picks, aside from faith its been great high picks. Im sure out front office will find us some great pieces. This would be awesome if it happened.

Imagine if we dealt up and got demski instead of addison richards?

Lebowski thor lmao soo true. Yeah that and, no you get the small one.

hey its a 3 hour movie...$#%^ happens.

Cap wielding Mjolnir and smacking Thanos around with it was the biggest in mine. But a lot of that may have been me making noise.

Id love to end up with betts. Id be happy with one futures pick and one in camp this year pick out of our firsts. Yeah, they are in a tough spot. I feel like the ruling has a negative impact on the league and the player. I'd rather see these kids play and develop. I would treat it like a first offense for a player in the league. Automatic 2 game suspension. Suspend them for the preseason, and the first 2 games. Let them go to camp and practice. Maybe even put a limit on when they can be picked. So if you pop you can't go in the first 2 rounds.

I heard the same, watched captain marvel last week and also feel the same way. They always seem to do that, especially with hindsight. Shield didn't step in and save tony stark when he was kidnapped, captain marvel never stepped in, etc. They seem to send just enough firepower for each event. I loved how many people reprised old roles, and how great it all played out. Not easy to do without making it feel forced. Don't like Falcon as Cap in the comics or MCU. He just doesn't have the toolset to be that leader of heroes. They couldn't do that because of starks daughter and similar issues. This part doesn't bother me. Though fast forwarding peter parker in age would be nice. Yeah, they did the time travel great. It bugged me a bit that they didn't just go back to get more Pym particles, and they didn't close the time travel door at all. Also, why they never use the infinity stones against the bad guys. Like cmon. (I really want to see hulk with the power gem.)

That's true, but peak talent isn't the same as the overall level of play. Also with the sheer volume of teams, you're gonna hit more guys like that.

No kidding. Im sure he is making great money and living a good life working with IMG though. He would be fantastic as a coach up here though. He could do soo much. Having played MLBer, excelled on teams, running, catching and blocking.

They have more quantity, but in my experience, they suffer in quantity. I hope it leads to the spread of more Junior teams in more provinces though. Id love to see teams in brandon, winkler/morden and steinbach.

Dont think itll happen, but I could see us rotating jones and jake thomas.

2 cbs 2 hbs 1 sam import for sure. Jones at S seems extremely likely.

Pretty incredible story, with a good book to accompany it. (Trial and errors the people vs Brian Gordon Jack)

This is another spot mike sellers could've slotted into. The longevity of ernie pitts, in that era no less, is incredible. Gonna do coaches eventually?

What he managed to do with soo little to work with in Ottawa was incredible. Return of the shovel pass! Also he is just the best kind of person in football. I remember when we did this. I think it lasted half a year. What a mess. It smacks of indecision and lack of trust for your coaches. If you give a young hungry ast coach more responsibility and invest the faith in them to run things you find gems. Doing it by committee just tells the coaches involved management doest trust them to do the job. Not to mention none of those guys are going to take the full responsibility. Its not THEIR job. If we ended up in the same spot and lost plop late in the offseason, I have no doubt they would anoint buck the new OC and give him all the time and trust to learn the job. And Buck would run with it. Same with mos and plop etc. The management has shown more trust and dedication to dom davis then to their offensive coaches.
