  1. What bb1 and floyd said. I could see BC taking him, but think they will go OL. No matter the focault trade. Unless the top 3 ol are sure fire gone to the nfl. I dont see him falling past the hammer. is that deal official now? I think vandervoort could probably start as a rookie for half the teams in the league. us included.
  2. Idk if vandervoort has the up side. Will really have to see him on the field in camp/pre season / action to see. He is the highly polished show ready low risk high reward type though. I have trouble seeing him come in and be less productive then jamie stoddards better seasons. 500 with 4tds. Seems like a real hard worker. Smart, and football guy too. I dont think weve seen as polished a wr come out of the cis before.
  3. planning how to get back into a position where he doesnt have to be bothered with such plebeian things as the combine.
  4. Not vernon davis, brock lesnar crazy but for a NI pretty close lol. Corney put up 4.69 40 4.15 shuttle, 38" vert, 10'2" broad jump and 34 reps. Id say auclair is far, far more polished as an offensive player then corney was as a DE.
  5. is that your 1on1 drill rankings? I didnt get to watch it all good to know i can go back n watch. Id love to end up with one of augustine or ante litre.
  6. Perhaps the most cfl ready. You can coach a guy and fix technique issues, but you cant teach speed. His speed may translate better to football then the 40. But over all mediocre at best run jump numbers kinda worry that he might max out at a jamie stoddard type player. Compare auclairs pro day numbers to vandervoorts. Auclair: 4.82 40, 4.33 shuttle, 7.28 3 cone, 33.5" vert, 9'9 broad jump, and 22 reps on the bench press. 6'5 256 Vandervoort: 4.73 40, 4.35 shuttle, 7.20 3 cone, 31.5" vert, 9'6 broad jump, 13 reps on the bench press. 6'1 203 http://3downnation.com/2017/03/13/antony-auclair-sees-17-nfl-teams-attend-pro-day-laval/
  7. I think in general a bunch of guys put up less then expected run/jump numbers. That combined with the guys who skipped, and of course the fact that not every one can put there best foot forward on 1-2 days between seasons, leaves you with more questions then answers from the combine. I dont think we get one of the top teir OL at 6, or vandervoort. If you go top 3 at each position, we would have it in our power to have 2 of auclair, vandervoort, behar, bladek, gray and woods. A side from who you want/dont want ideally, and who jumps to the nfl, that is a fantastic position to be in. I think behar, and auclair would have the best chances of being available at 6. Of course i dont think auclair is much of a chance to be in camp this year.
  8. Its his combo of good quickness, great strength and size. Hes a project but so is gray. And a project ol with huge size and quickness + the right pass port gets a ton of push up the boards. Hes not a guy Im hoping we grab in the first round but I wouldnt be sad either. He certainly doesnt have slow feet, he doesnt have that amazing quickness that allows him to over compensate or over come bad angle etc but his quickness is solid easily. Gray seems like the bob wiley wet dream prototype for an OL. If we end up with him, id be pretty happy.
  9. 1) Ankou 2) Senior 3) Auclair 4) Woods 5) Vandervoort 6) Gray 7) Boateng 8) Mulumba 9) Ekakitie 10) Bladek Some guys who will (or would) have interesting transitions to the cfl. Really big for their positions up here. But a good few of those guys will be the ones with nfl interest.
  10. No idea how far teams will go for his athletic ability and size but it will be interesting to see thats for sure. Now that the combine numbers are in how about a top 10 board? Not gonna go into whose going to the nfl and whose not, team needs etc. Just the best prospects available this year.
  11. 31" vert 9'7 broad jump and 31 reps. I only saw his reps. he used far less back arch and leg drive then most guys who put up 30+ reps.
  12. I imagine they are going to put every villain possible in dark seid, then end it by going into a new 52 esq reboot. Must rush and ruin every story line possible! gremlins 3? really? Zombieland was amazing. If 2 has the same cast ill be holding my breath for it to be good. If not ill prolly pass.
  13. i guess they are gonna be really broke now? eh? eh? ill show my self out... never watched it my self.
  14. im thinking of giving it a 2nd try. i think i made it 3 episodes the first time. I hope the TPB season is better then the last / out of the park. From the trailer it sure looks like they are trying some thing different.
  15. gigantic. Unless the no1 pick was a legit risk to not be in camp id be more inclined to gamble with the 6 on some one like auclair then reach that much.
  16. Yeah he'd be a toolsy type project. A better / coke free version of reaves. Exactly yeah, the wrs really didnt look great in numbers testing. And with those kind of leap numbers i dont see a better result coming with the 40. you think height at DE is that important? center of gravity with, how well they sink their hips, standing reach and vert are much more important imop. Im pretty un impressed with height in general to be fair. Seen guys like shelden williams out of duke (nba) who is listed 6'9 I think measured 6'8 or a shade under, and has a good 6 inch + of forehead going for him. While other guys like arland bruce (totally apples and oranges here i get it) who made up for height with considerable reach (or rondo to keep the basketball comparison going) I do really like a DE who can disrupt passing lanes though. Like rahim abdullah with the esks, and all those pass knock downs at the line. Not saying how high or low boateng should go though. the cfl draft has got to be the least predictable in the world. The difference between some teams big boards and rankings is gigantic. This is an interesting point. I wonder if its a product of the surge in the last decade of talent in the draft, systems, or just guys with size and any football talent / athleticism being pushed to the OL. http://www.cfl.ca/2017/03/15/cfl-ca-provide-next-level-live-broadcast-2017-cfl-combine-presented-adidas/ Still coverage tnite of the bench, then tomorrow the 40, position and 1 on 1s.
  17. when linemen are out jumping you, its not a good sign. shade over 30" from zver is pretty impressive. Reminds me of a few years back we had an imp ol that would run past skill position guys in the sprints. Didnt stick long tho iirc. A few DL jumping really well. senior, auclair, ankou, woods, and ekakitie i could all see in full tc. so id say 4 is probably around right. Some one gets hurt, decides they dont want to be soo far from home, nfl draft/fa falls a certain way it could easily be + or - 2. 5, even 4 kinda sucks when you have the first pick. Im trying to keep my expectations down for this draft class. One of a wr that can produce a bit more then weve seen out of the ni spot the last couple years, or a LB that can rotate / play good teams this year out of the top 2 would be nice.
  18. mini camp isnt the same as a camp invite. And not projected to get much interest. so far at the combine behar has gone from a listed 6'2, to a shade over 5'11 and put up a meager 31" vert and 9'4 broad jump. A bad 40 time (which those would project) could push him down pretty low. Dont think any chance he gets taken over vandervoort even if vandervoort signs. Carter is crushing right now. 6'6, 40" vert 10'5.25 broad jump A good 40 time could get him nfl interest on measurables alone.
  19. not being in camp for your rookie season in the cfl is massive. yeah i cant see vandervoort falling below hammy either. Little on the stamps, or ott. I also cant see us going gray over mulumba at 6, or herdman, vandervoort maybe even auclair.
  20. number of prospects doesnt equate to quality of prospects. You could cut out the top 20 guys and youd still have a top 10 list. Itd be the guys 20-30. Again that listing is dubious at best, and seems to go by position. Mason woods imop has a strong chance of being in an nfl camp as well. That would seem to be the logic, but it sounds more and more like focault to bc is the move. Which is a very good deal for both teams.
  21. next up for me is the dave chappelle special on netflix. After that its on the hunt for some thing else to watch besides star wars rebels till trailer park boys new season comes out. Any one finish jessica jones?
  22. 2 on the ol and 2 on the dl is a great position to be in. For ol neufie and keeping i believe are still both under contract as well. No question we can take the bpa. Some people think you are allways in that position unless you are say a play off team with 1 hole to fill etc etc. but that a side we are among the better off teams as far as ni starters / depth goes imop. An nfl gamble wouldnt be bad with the 6th for sure. Id love to see that or a trade down for more pics next year. No idea where radford would go. Or if he has eligibility left? But seems like a depth pick guy to me too. I dont think we get that much in the first 3 rounds. I think pretty much the whole top tier of this draft will be getting looks from the nfl of one level or another. I see a lot of homer swing type guys but im not sure the rest is automatically roster material. This draft isnt the strongest. We certainly have a chance for any guy in that top 3 round range to make the roster, but i wouldnt go in expecting it. Tempering expectations. Just hoping for some one who contribute at some level or another next year.
  23. we arent going to go just nationals any time soon on either side... And again, the two des and chung alone are well beyond solid. couture started, that isnt unknown. Corney as well. hes an athletic freak who has needed to sharpen his technical play. Thats not unknown. Denzel radford had him self a nice combine at the western regional. (6'2 200) 37.5 vert (tied for first) 10'6 broadjump (first) 4.65 40 (5th) and 16 reps in the bench press. Hes a multi sport athlete (track, soccer. and basketball) Both his brother and father ran track at indiana. 2015 8 games, 18 catches 329 yards 1td. 3 st tackles. 2016 10 games 14 returns for 446 yards and a td. 11 tackles. Only see 3-25 catching last year. But they have a deep wr core. Big strong run jump athlete who can play teams? yes please. Litre put up 4.76, 22 reps, 33" vert, 9'1 1/4 broad jump, 7,54 shuttle, and a 4.38 3 cone.
  24. Our ol was one of the best last year with the starters in place. Its far from 2 solid and a bunch of unknowns. As well the 3 DL are far from unknowns. Even thomas at the low end we would get what we have previously or some thing similar. Allstar level performer, = known commodity.
  25. The top end isnt as strong as the OL but its deeper. DE Westerman - corney DT Thomas-butcher DT Nevis-irvin DE Okpaluaugo-cole PLus guys like tennant, green and the rookies coming in. Thats two all star level DEs, and an allstar level tackle in nevis. Thomas people are split on. Certainly the low man on the pole, but I think hes exactly the type of guy to fit in and do the gritty work to allow the rest to be crashed on less. A poor mans doug brown if you will. Butcher and corney are freaks with huge up side. Cole had some really nice flashes last year. The whole line struggled, despite talent level. A better performance from the group is a tide that raises all boats. Especailly some one like cole. Irvin is a similar situation. At worst hes a vet who can come in and push other guys. Imop its a good idea to bring in new NIs at each position group every year. Thats how you find diamonds in the rough, and how you keep from stagnating at a position like we have at NI wr. Id look for more butcher/corney esq DL, or a role guy who could come in and push to do more earlier like thomas. But in the mid to late rounds. Unless some one is taking thomas spot this year or next I wouldnt spend a first on a DL. (or if our scouts feel the dl available is in another tier above the rest of the available players)
