  1.  

    How I see it:

     

    Plan A: Draft Lavertu at #2 overall, have the option to start Neufeld or an American at RT.

     

    Plan B: Ottawa takes Lavertu, draft Foucault (or elsewhere) at #2 overall, start Neufeld at RT, import at C.

     

    Of course they could take Goossen at #2 as well, but I have been led to believe that the club is not all that high on him.

    Interesting. I wonder what the Bomber brain trust sees in Goossen that leads them to believe he should be ranked lower. Attitude? Lack of speed? Teachability? Fragility?

     

     

    I think it's just general ability, to be honest. He's not at the skill level you'd expect out of a #2 pick.

  2.  

    the NCAA has some absolutely ******** rules when it comes to athletics and what can make players ineligible. 

     

    Bombers have a guy from FSU - Daniel Glauser - attending mini camp next week who lost a year due to playing two games in a Swiss league prior to attending JuCo. Missed out on a National Championship this past year.

     

     

    Still calls himself a National Champion in his Twitter bio too.

  3.  

    We need help this season. I'd stay away from Lavertu if he has eligibility. Go with the player that can help us now. I don't think we can go wrong with Matthias Goosen if the Bombers are set on picking an offensive lineman. With the second pick  we have to find a guy who can play. Especially after last year's draft & Andy Mulamba. I thought the draft rules were changed to stop this from happening? Why are players with eligibility left even in the draft? Let them finish CIS first.

     

    In my evaluations, Lavertu is the only guy I like to play right away. Matthias Goossen would be the sure bet, because he comes out of Simon Fraser in the NCAA, which means he can't return to school, however I feel he is atleast two years away from making an impact.

     

    I can't imagine a scenario where Lavertu returns to school, given how high the Bombers are on him.

     

     

    Bingo. PS, glad you signed up, Tyler.

  4. After being cut from the Lions in 2012, he spent 2013 playing baseball at Arizona Christian University.  My bet is that he showed up to one of our free agent camps and did enough to earn another look.

     

    Would be inclined to say you're dead on.

     

    I don't hate the signing, he looks intriguing at worst but I would just expect we would be able to do better than a guy whose most recent athletic endeavor was a varsity baseball team.

  5. Yep definitely take LDT in the 3rd if he's there. Toronto took Sewell last season even though he signed an NFL contract and now he's signed with Toronto.

     

    I don't know if we can afford to spend the 20th overall on him but we certainly could use one of our next two picks.
