Poblah. It's got to be Poblah. 12 Canadians and we don't have to protect Renaud? There's no way I don't protect Poblah I'd protect ... Poblah, Cauchy, Henoc, Volny, Pencer, Greaves, Watson, Kohlert, Thomas, Neufeld, Swiston and one of either Sherman/Stephan. This of course is me holding the assumption that Etienne has an undated deal with the Bombers that they can file at anytime, since that's what I've heard. I'd also hold off on protecting Fitzgerald because let's be honest, they'd be stupid to take him. I'd emphasize the protection of receivers and defensive linemen because Ottawa has yet to really bulk up there and they're going to have to. That's what I'm predicting though.

Bombers are so thin at Canadian talent, this draft is really going to cripple us Ottawa selects James Green

FB Patrick Lavoie FB John Delahunt Positionless James Green OL J'Michael Deane OL Alex Krausnick OL Joe Eppele DL Keith Shologan

Campbell must want to employ the Fatcat offense. Wildcat ... with fullbacks.

... happens all the time with live feeds. Not just with CFL.

TSN.ca feed is where it's at. CFL.ca sucks for everything.

Hahahahahahahaha James Green!!! it pays to be super thin. Who are they going to pick from us in the next round? The contractual rights to Brian Guebert?

Alex Krausnick ... J'Michael Deane ... Matt Albright

Keith Shologan LOL

JAMES GREEN?!

Joe Eppele ... John Delahunt ...

Patrick Lavoie wow

I hope so.

I think one thing that was proven correct ... Ottawa is sure staying away from free agents as far as imports go. Or else they're just terrible at drafting.

If I was Winnipeg, I wouldn't be trying to trade for competition for Collaros. The big selling point we have over other teams at the moment is that he would be the clear cut starter. Start acquiring pieces to compete with him and all of a sudden, we're no different than Hamilton or Montreal.

If Miles was unprotected, I doubt Kelly was protected. I would've rather lost Kelly, to be honest. Makes me wonder who they DID protect though. If I had to guess, I would bet they protected quite a few guys on the DL

James Lee and Carlton Mitchell Never heard of either of them

Well, if Ottawa sticks with Demarco and Glenn, I'd say they're most certainly out of the Collaros sweepstakes.

BC loses Demarco

Not impressed we lost Wallace Miles lol

and here we go

Pretty sure they'll be announcing one round at a time.

I'm still not convinced Ottawa doesn't take Collaros. The only reason I think they pass is because they can't afford to give Toronto AND Calgary the option to protect more Canadians and I can't see them passing on one of Glenn or Tate. Don't really care about imports other than QB, but as far as NI talent goes, I think this is how they do it Saskatchewan -- OL/DL Toronto -- OL Calgary -- WR Montreal -- OL/LB Hamilton -- Skill position BC -- OL Edmonton -- DL Winnipeg -- OL/WR

-- Protected a handful of free agents -- Said the lengthy amount of free agents they have was done on purpose but he feels like teams will resign a majority of those names once the draft is over -- Not sure if Desjardins will actually avoid free agents, he mentioned that it thought it was strange Desjardins has emphasized it so frequently in the media. -- Not going to "sell the farm" if he thinks they can just as easily sign a guy they want on February 15th -- Asked if chances of bringing Henoc back are lower now with the NFL interest, answered yes. -- Negotiation list draft was today at 12 PM -- Coaching staff coming along, says O'Shea has been given full power to choose his own staff in entirety.
