Thank god

OL Randy Richards, Missouri State LB Cyhl Quarles, Wake Forest as per Darren Cameron http://bluebombers.com/article/bombers-add-two-imports-richards-quarles

Apparently Biceps McFlannel was an option. ... wow

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.

Can't see Walters trading down, there's no point to it unless Lavertu suddenly pulls a Varlamov and we see his draft stock tumble.

Rids: what's your take on Smith? Where do you project him?

Michael Ray Garvin is the name that caught my eye ... I've read about him before, he's an ELITE athlete. He was a NCAA champion sprinter, he had legit 4.2 speed in college. He's also immediately one of the most physically fit players on a CFL roster, he's absolutely shredded. But can he play football ......

I like the work of Penton lately, my only critique of his mock is that I can't see 9 picks going by without either Lue or Thibault going off the board. But that's also just my opinion. Not sure Quinn Smith is a first rounder either.

What he probably should have said was "I'm not sure if the Bombers have a rep" because let's be honest, he's not going to recognize everybody that goes to these things.

What about the NFL interest? waaaaaaay up

I hate watching Hamonic play. But I respect it. He frustrates the hell out of me as a fan of the opposition. If he was on the Jets? I'd love it.

I can think of several pieces I'd like from NYI Okposo and/or Hamonic, for starters. de Haan, Strome, Pulock would all be nice. Not necessarily saying I want a trade, just saying NYI has pieces I like.

LDT destroyed his pro day. CFL draft stock way down.

Do they know something we don't? Did you badmouth Gainer? No way, man. Gainer trumps any mascot! It's something they do with all new members. The admin has to activate the accounts so they can post. For some reason, mine hasn't been activated. So I can't even post on my own board. What's your username? I'll send a PM to the admin over there for you.

Disagree with the last line. James Wright is useless. I'm sorry. We can find energy guys who compete nightly who also have a single ounce of offensive ability. Wright has none.

Have to be careful with how you word that, because he blew past 20 goals once on his way to becoming one of the youngest guys to ever score 30. Then he got hit with a lockout season and it's not reasonable to count that. And he's likely to put 20 in the net this year. So really, 20 goals once in 5 years could easily turn into twice in 4 years in a hurry. And let's be honest, we know Atlanta rushed him. He may be in his 5th year but he's also 22 years old. It'll come.

Maybe this is me just being a simpleton but when I hear "Grey Cup in Winnipeg", I'm not bothered by the 4 million dollar "grant" or the profit not matching up with the money the government is giving us or any of that stuff. Politicians want to politic? Let them. The Grey Cup means a huge economic boost to this city, it means a great party right in our own backyard and it means an extra incentive for the Bombers to improve their on-field product in short order. Sounds good to me.

Would not trade Kane. This is a guy not even in the prime of his career. It blows my mind, I've never seen a city ride a guy so hard when he's a) so young and competes so hard on a nightly basis. Seriously, is there a guy on the Jets other than Kane that competes with such a high level of effort night in and night out? Wheeler maybe? People criticize him for not being enough of a team guy, but that's not what I see at all. Personally, I want to see Scheifele feeding Kane passes for the next 10 years.

Totally disagree, then again I don't really personally care about travelers. Night games work best for me and I'd prefer if they had to be during the afternoon that they be on a Sunday.

The team was basically the equivalent of an expansion team in terms of asset depth when it relocated. People need to be patient.

Not surprised Troy Westwood would think that no matter what the situation is, you play the game. He's obviously not one to take an unforced break, not even 2 years after he became no damn good.

You suggested we take all judgment out of it and then suggested we penalize "unfair disruptions" Fair / not fair is always a judgment call.

Are they critical because he missed it or are they critical because he missed it and we're in a "playoff race"?

People aren't saying we don't have any safeties. What they're saying is we're not sure if we have any good ones. And I'm saying Alexander and Newman are good safety's. Tough to say for sure. I wouldn't bet either way on that one, they could be good but we also thought Cauchy was going to be good because he came advertised as such.
