Jeez, starting RT for the Crimson Tide, says he has slow foot speed and projected to be a guard in the NFL.

yeah i see your point, I also think Nichols isn't the quarterback we really want to be throwing those long passes anyways. In Ottawa Burris throws to the wide side with a flick of his wrist. They probably would value that position a little more than our offence would i'm guessing.
Thank you baby Jesus!
I frequently see Evan Gill and he has hinted multiple times he could be considering signing with the Bombers at the end of his contract.
I apologize i don't have the interview on hand but it was a pre draft interview, he referenced Ed Tait's article about how the position only receives 3-4 targets a game, its the hardest throw to make, etc, etc.
he is a really interesting prospect, according to Dunk and Forde he had pretty poor quarterbacking at U of A and still seemed to produce on par with the top receivers of this draft. i would love to see him stick on the PR for a couple years and develop him. He could be a nice deep or screen threat if we give him some time I think.
Personally i do like the pick, I just see him more of a receiver. He runs really nice routes and has some pretty nice hands, add a little more strength and he could be a solid prospect.
There are so many "if's" associated with the Riders draft
"if" Judge doesn't work out in Houston he "might" be a starter "if" he can play safety
"if" Auclair somehow come loose from the NFL he "might" come to the CFL
"if" Meredith didn't actually retire from football and "if" he doesn't actually weigh 225 pounds he "might" be a good prospect on the OL
regardless of how many targets i think they're looking at this wrong.
Nobody is afraid of JFG on the wide side and can easily just put their weakest cb out there in man coverage. Teams will give us that all day. If you put a real threat out there teams have to respect it.
agreed, which is why my concerns are more play to play not long term. having a rb who can come in and change the pace or even catch a ball out of the backfield could be huge.
