Well, Mike please provide your 3 round detailed mock draft...
As mentioned last week, when another decided to rip someone, its a chat forum with all supposely providing their thoughts, suggestions, etc... I for one, look forward to John Hodge's and Marshall Ferguson's mock drafts...
So because all opinions are welcome, I’m not allowed to say someone who gets paid to express theirs is bad at doing what they do? And for the record, I don’t pay attention to the draft much anymore, but when I did, I would notice many of the mocks shared by posters here (mine included) were miles better than any of the ones the talking heads would come up with.

I swear Marshall Ferguson is the most useless CFL analyst out there. Nothing he says ever makes any sense and it reeks of a guy who has the connections to get places but no ability to do anything with what he’s seeing. Cole Tucker and Jake Maier working underneath to imitate Collaros and Schoen? Schoen led the entire league in yards per catch because he was blowing the top off the D, not working underneath in the soft spots. Michael Brodrique to Montreal, he’s French! BC traded a number 1 overall pick LB for a 9th overall pick to draft … a LB! David Dallaire to be FB4 for Montreal in the second round, he’s French!

Evans can't carry Willy's bag of footballs if you compare the two. Willy's OL here was light years worse than anyone else's. He never publicly blew up on any of his teammates like Evans did. He took his lumps & suffered silently while we thrashed him as a shitty qb. Evans would have been in a straitjacket in a padded cell had he played behind that cruddy **** of an offensive line while being criticized to the bone by us, the fans & media. Willy never had a chance to have success here. The damage was done once that ankle & foot injury happened & Willy tried to resurrect his career in Toronto a year later.
Show us on the doll where Dane Evans hurt you

https://www.cfl.ca/draft-tracker/2017/I would more say woof what a garbage scouting year
There are more contributors in the 5th and 6th rounds than in the 1st and 2nd. Yikes.

Goodson looks to be a Casey Sayles type of NT. Not the biggest dude but very agile for a 300 lber. Will be nice to see what he can do.
I wouldn’t say he’s anything like Sayles, way lower point of attack and not a guy you’re going to flex out to the edge ever. He’s a bull rush Stove type tackle with a bit more athleticism but a shorter wingspan. Former wrestler collegiately, I think he’s got potential to be a good one for us.

I’m wondering if the Bombers look to use the global draft this year as a way to bring in any level of competition at DT. There are a couple of reasonably successful NCAA DT attending the “global” portion of the combine.

Once again... is Walters not bringing any bodies at all to camp? Doesn't his track record give him way more then then the benefit of doubt that he can find real talent?
I don't understand why we need to be chicken littles and also pretend that this team hasn't found numerous high quality gems over the last many recent years?
So instead of saying this team is going to suck and Walters sucks for not over paying on free agents... maybe we can talk about how Walters has the ability to find amazing talent year in and year out? It's like people forgot that Dalton Schoen was a complete unknown last year and look how that turned out?
I’m really curious lol why do you almost always reply to comments nobody has made?

Justify it all you like it's still a bad take.
It’s a bad take provided the Bombers find at least one new impact starter on D. There are a couple things in there I don’t really agree with (I’m pretty comfortable with the secondary as it sits) but for us to be going into 2023 with a worse DL than 2022 is scary.
We can talk about being two years removed from an all-time historic D all we want, that’s irrelevant to 2023. Our studs on the DL are older and need complementary pieces that can rotate to keep them fresh. We saw that last year and another year of aging isn’t going to help. Our interior DL as it sits today is probably the worst in the entire CFL. Nobody is scared of Jake Thomas and Ricky Walker. The all-time historic D that we had in 2021 was propped up by incredible pressure from the DL and right now, we’re missing the pieces that allow us to do that. We’re not one piece away on the DL unless that piece is all-star calibre from week 1. We’re two pieces, maybe even three, from being able to have anything resembling a “great” DL in 2023.
Is our front office good enough to find those pieces? Probably. Do we need them to? I’d say almost definitely.

True but I do miss him working free of the required bias

I think an injured Kyrie Wilson and Brandon Alexander made the D look much worse than it was for a big chunk of the season. If those two play a full season, I think things look much different and all of a sudden everyone's talking about what a bounce back season _______ is having in the secondary/LB corps...... we weren't that bad on D last year...just missing too many key pieces.
It’s easy to say this but you HAVE to bake in an expectation that we’re going to be missing key guys this year because our key guys have proven they miss games.
Wilson, Jeffcoat, Alexander, Bighill … it’d be out of the ordinary if they DIDN’T miss time at this point.
1 hour ago, rebusrankin said:Disagree on the secondary. In addition to Alexander and Nichols being strengths, Houston looked very good at hb before his injury, Parker looked good at both hb and cb and Lawrence looked good at db. Rose sure is a question mark but may get beat out or rebound.
Nichols, Houston, Alexander are all super capable. I’m apprehensive about Rose, excited to see Parker take the next step. Not sure what the overall doubt on our secondary is stemming from.

Gee almost like I know what I’m talking about @bluto

Word is Bombers signed a punter, Devin Anctil
college teammates with Dalton Schoen … should be announced soon
EDIT: just looked at the CFL transactions page to see if it was official yet and it is, plus they also seem to have signed former NFL 7th round pick DB Jordan Brown

That seems a lot to give up for 2 extra off season months of a guy that they can't keep anyway... But I wouldn't be mad about it.
It’s a compromise. They don’t have to trade him to you, you pay that price to avoid the risk that someone else picks him up.

It's too bad Bombers can't get Dane. Either way, I predict he goes to the Argos for a fourth and a neg list player.

Not sure why we're hating on Blake, he's not terrible. Certainly an upgrade for them, even if he's old as hell. Godber sucks, not quite sure I get the idea they're going for there.

Since you guys asked and I'm bored ... I went through and looked at the statistics for every game. The amount of times O'Shea opted to punt instead of attempting a 45-49 yard field goal equals a grand total of zero
These are the only ones times we punted from 45 yards in or closer all year.
Week 1 - punted from OTT 45
Week 2 - punted from OTT 43
Week 3 - punted from HAM 45
WF - punted from BC 44 up 8 points with 2:02 left in the 4Q (that is to say, it would've been idiotic to kick a FG here)
GC - punted from TOR 43 in the 1Q down 3-0

I hope in 15 years, Bailey is still with the club somehow as our very own Pinball type guy. Hearing those quotes .. wow
1 hour ago, TrueBlue4ever said:Not sure I totally buy Farhan’s “belief”. Bailey was expendable here once we got Lawler signed and Schoen did not get an NFL bite. Bailey committed to free agency knowing he was not a priority here, and we heard crickets for a week, which suggests that the other teams saw what Walters saw, that Bailey is a supplemental piece and not a number one receiver (and his career stats back up that assertion, IMO). I don’t buy that he left heaps of money and a higher profile role as a prime target receiver on another team to come back here as the 4th option in the progressions. My “belief” is that he did not get any great offers, and teams were not prepared to pay close to his $130,000 salary from last year for a 35-40 yards a game average third option American receiver. So he chose the best option which was to come back where he was comfortable and knew the system, and earn what he could and hope for bonus playoff cash. But a great depth signing if we got him for less than 6 figures.
There’s absolutely no way he took a pay cut. Also, be quiet
