I think they'll bring a guy in. At least that's what the story implies.

Avon Cobourne has left to pursue other interests outside of football. Thanks for sticking it out, Avon. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/01/bombers-running-backs-coach-avon-cobourne-parted-ways/

If it was true, Priders heads would explode. I kinda like it then!

That makes me cry out the way Rick Flair did whenever he was in pain in the ring. "Oh Gawd!!"

Anyone drafted in that bonus round is akin to either a Canadian qb with no chance of ever making it or a charity case if it's another position.

Well, to be fair our record of drafting & developing Canadian receivers has been dreadful the past few years.

One of my least favourite characters.

He's inexperienced. He's depth for sure. A guy like Gurley can start.

They'll never last all 18 games. We know at least one of them will miss games due to injuries. We have virtually nothing behind those guys.

You said, "when healthy". When is that? He's a walking injury. He's never been healthy.

Now we really need receivers. Expect any $$ left over from the Smith deal to go towards that. Not a DL with delusions of grandeur probably only willing to sign a 1 year deal. No thanks.

Trump's base will say So what?

I don't but if you read his statement it's pretty clear that he can't play football anymore for health reasons. I just wish he'd have told the Bombers two months ago as I think he knew then (based on his comments) that he wasn't coming back.

I wondered about Gurley myself. Wish Smith the best but the timing kinda sucks. If it is job related, not health related (which I doubt with his concussion problems last season) & he knew he had to make a choice I just wish he let the Bombers know a month & a half ago as there were some pretty good receivers available then we could have pursued. Having said that, he still has to look after himself first so he made the best decision for him & his family.

McDuffie signed with the Cowboys.

The Bombers have to keep up. You chintz trying to save money in one area then it affects others. If players aren't happy or encounter difficulties on the road then it affects their play on the field. I can only imagine how bad it was under Butchko & Mack.

Seemed like a legit comment to me. JBR's not wrong though. Just that now the Bombers have some flexibility to not draft offensive linemen only with their first pick.

Don't agree. It is if you have an offensive line that blows like we had until last season. We have needs at other positions that must be addressed more than just continually drafting OL. Thank God we've gone past those dark days of a few years ago.

Guess we'll see who Walters goes with in a few weeks. The more legit targets for Nicholls the better.

Despicable.

There was a guy with a big head when he was drafted. Played games with Hamilton for nearly 2 seasons. Is Plesius even starting for the Ti Cats?

Dressler is on the other side of 30. Adams & Smith had injury issues last year. We had Rory Kohlert playing boundary receiver & to be blunt if he wasn't awful then he was useless. We need to start a Canadian at receiver & our choices are fairly limited. To me, this is the most important position to shore up. More than any other.

He could ultimately be a thousand yard receiver. How can you just blanket bracket him like that? I'm going by need & our need at Canadian receiver is glaring.

At 6 for sure. Just not sure at #1. Two first round picks, at least one has to come to camp competing for a spot.

I'm selfish. (1) I'd like him as a Bomber first. Two, then the NFL if he's drafted by someone else.
