His entire strategy for Winnipeg's mock draft seems to be entirely based off the idea that he doesn't view Jake Thomas as a full time starter.

That's totally fine, but for the most part, these guys are proven as commodities before they ever step foot in NXT. Case in point, every guy you named - Owens, Joe, Rollins and Balor - were world famous before they hit a NXT ring.

Too tough to do mocks these days. First Round Potential: WR Vandervoort, WR Behar, OL Bladek, OL Woods, OL Gray, OL Senior, OL Spooner, DL Ankou, DL Luke, DL Ekakitie, DB Wright, LB Mulumba Second Round Potential: OL Schram, OL Roy, DL Boateng, DL Vaughn, DL Okafor, DL McGough, LB Herdman, DB Woodson Roughly.

The key is to get better wherever we can get the most better.

Guess I better make some babies.

I remember all of that - and the old school Wickman jersey that he swapped out for a straw hat and overalls at the Banjo Bowl. I wish they had done a better job of recreating a section S style experience at IGF.

Whatever happened to the eat the corn guy?

We will always have the REAL Canadian Air Force, Rory Dough Alert and Jay Detain. But really, reading that the "Balm hers move twitch main forage hearse down" helped no one.

I agree with very little of that mock, since according to a lot of reports, Bladek had a very good combine. This is the same thing that happened last year, though. His mocks are usually full of reaches.

You won't see anybody draft Augustine that high.

What an epic waste that would be.

I'd do it without the #6 and #7

I still think Bladek at #1 but maybe you take Vandevoort #1 and let Bladek go #2 to Saskatchewan.

I'm not feeling Woods first overall. If I picked today, I'd be taking Bladek first overall.

Not too worried about Herdman looking bad. He's not going to dominate testing. He's a football player, not a track star. I did expect more, but that's fine. He'll bounce back.

Didn't even notice it. Not sure about him. Wouldn't be my first pick at #1 but we'll see how he does at his pro day or whatever. Would be a surprise in my books if he went #1.

Two of which are not CIS linemen. Quinn Smith is not much of an impact player. Junior Turner is probably the rare exception.

Wonder how far Boateng drops when teams find out he's barely a shade over 6 feet tall as a rush end. I wouldn't draft him anywhere in the first two rounds myself and his height measurement just goes to further my opinion.

No.

Can't say I've ever noticed the noise levels so I'm going to go ahead and say no, it's not an issue. I agree with the idea of getting Nichols or Harris (I'd get them all to do it, but I have an imaginary budget of infinity hours and dollars) doing up a clip for the jumbotron telling fans to SHHHH on offense. Most of the kinks of the stadium were cleared up last year though ... either that, or I'm way less of an entitled dbag because I don't remember being annoyed at all last year by the poor spelling of the closed captioning or by the lack of full screen replays on the jumbotron. One suggestion I would make though ... the TVs in the concourse should be playing the live feed. If you want to inundate me with people taking selfies and hashtagging them on the jumbotron, that's fine. But I'm at a football game and if there's action going on, it'd be nice to know that if I'm in the concourse taking a leak or grabbing some food, I'm not going to have to see only every second or third TV showing game action.

one of the greatest

I'm very critical of our coaching staff. I think they're terrible. I just don't support booing the players because of it. I'll boo the players when THEY deserve it.

I don't think you understood what he meant when he said premeditated.

I wouldn't shake my head at the entire team. Having been there live, I'd shake my head at a guy like Nic Petan who was a -2 with a 17% success rate in the circle. I'd shake my head at a guy like Mark Stuart who was literally almost single handedly responsible for 3 goals. I'd shake my head at Connor Hellebuyck for letting in a couple of softies. But no way am I going to shake my head at a guy like Josh Morrissey who went +3 with the game winning goal in a buttload of icetime ... as a rookie. Our team isn't bad. It's very skilled. It's just being sunk by a bunch of weak links.

Sorry, but that's a load of crap. Taking a private photo of yourself does not carry any illegality with it, so to say somebody shouldn't be able to do that in private is total nonsense. All because someone may violate their privacy in an illegal fashion? Nah.
