Mike

Ya you know me

Amen. I hate the blue shoulders, it’s the only thing I would change on our uniforms other than maybe just thinning out the number set a tiny, tiny sliver. He’s nowhere near fast enough to be a returner in this league. To put his athleticism into perspective, his 40 time would’ve been dead last at the NFL combine for receivers by almost .2 seconds. Would’ve only beat one tight end. No linebackers. No corners. No safeties. Even the punter who ran the 40 this year was faster than him.

Lol and herein lies the problem: everything he does is going to be considered notable

OBG not at camp

I count 18 non-counters and those are just the ones I’m sure on, so I’m sure there are far more

Probably already made the team

gonna make a big guess here but I think Barrington Wade and OB Goodson are both future all stars

Jackson is an interesting one. 30 year old who didn’t play high school football and walked on at Nebraska after a 4 year term as a navy seal. He’s 31 in July and just finished up his fifth year of eligibility and is trying to make it as a … long snapper?

Could be a million things, even an opportunity to try him out and see if he can contribute as a special teams guy. The one thing I really doubt is that it’s a legitimate chance to make the club as a receiver.

Well, we did it. We signed O’Shea Jr

Stove is finished. We might have the new one in camp with OBG.

Barrington Wade is one name off our neg list I’m very happy to see us sign I didn’t say I would cut Rose. I said I wonder if they’ll consider getting younger. Darby is an option too. They’ve always got huge competition in camp for DBs, so you never know.

DB doesn’t worry me at all - I am wondering if we get a bit younger there this year though.

Very curious to see Joe Beckett, OB Goodson, Jadrian Taylor and a few other rookies

JC Abbott is the king of this.

“I really like our 7th round pick, he’s alive and what more can you ask for?”

It’s really all about team fit too. That gets talked about nowhere near enough as it relates to the CFL Draft.

John Hodge’s pick analysis is incredible on 3DN Bull was their 9th ranked prospect, picked 1st overall. Hodge Verdict? “I like this pick” Brodrique ranked 13th by 3DN, picked 2nd. Hodge Verdict? “Makes sense for Edmonton” Korte-Moore ranked 11th by 3DN, picked 3rd. Hodge Verdict? “Good use of resources” laughable

A good handful of them, yeah

😂 touch grass There’s nothing wrong with saying this is a poor draft class. So many factors and circumstances, not the least of which is that the Canadian talent is getting better and better so the NFL is taking the best. We’re largely being left this year with undersized players, average-ish NCAA talent that turned out to be Canadian on a technicality and project players. Not to say that nothing can be made of this class of picks, but it lacks the top end talent we’ve seen in past drafts.

Why is it being a Debbie downer to say this is a poor draft class? It is. It’s a step below the usual tier for the reasons JBR stated. Are there players that can help us? Sure. But I don’t see many starters in this draft unless it’s after 2-3 years of development.

You love to make every move the Bombers make sound amazing, don’t you? Lol This is legitimately a nothing transaction. I would be shocked if this guy even came to camp. This draft has basically become a giant waste of time, you can tell how seriously teams take it given that it took less than 20 minutes from start to finish for 18 picks. There was one guy in this talent pool who has a legitimate chance and legitimate interest in the CFL and he went first overall.

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

I never said there aren’t quality players. Of course there are quality players. Overall, it’s a very weak draft class.
