The draft isn't terrible. Plenty of quality players.
I never said there aren’t quality players. Of course there are quality players. Overall, it’s a very weak draft class.

This isn’t really a hot take but this draft is terrible
I have the lowest of expectations for anybody making an impact on our roster

That is wild. Very curious to see where this goes.
…. but how bad do you have to be at reading to not be able to play for Alabama? Sheesh

O’Shea Jr was a guy I thought was really going to be a player a couple years ago but seems like he may have peaked and his pro potential seems slim at best. I would be happy to see us sign him as a UDFA or something, but I hope for both SR and JR that we don’t invest a draft pick - not fair to either one.

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.

Bombers added a few camp bodies
Receivers Tre Turner and Manasseh Bailey, Canadian DB Jordan Veltri and the one I’m probably most intrigued by - DT O’Bryan Goodson
Interesting note on Tre Turner: might be the first Bomber born in the 2000s, he’s only 22
-
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.

Ed Tait as a Bomber staffer is still less biased than those too.
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

2023 CFL Draft Discussion
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted
And in case you’re wondering how seriously the CFL teams take the draft, the guy we took in the second round is 35
Not even the oldest guy in the draft though … Elks took a 36 year old kicker 2nd overall
