When they pretend to know literally every guy in the draft it is hilarious
JC Abbott is the king of this.

great posts in here and all are appreciated. Just wanted to reiterate that I think "John Hodge" is actually a parody account "pen name" for Mike in the ultimate bit of CFL satire......
“I really like our 7th round pick, he’s alive and what more can you ask for?”

Everybody thinks they're experts on the Draft. These are all unknowns. Selecting them is a dice throw in a crap shoot. We know the Bombers & other teams have done their due dilligence but John Hodge?
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

Wow!!! Why do you watch, then? Still waiting for your Mock Draft.
😂 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.

Even if Mike wants to play the Debbie Downer card (you really should leave that up to the pros, bro...) I'm choosing to be excited about the draft tonight. If nothing else, it means we're that much closer to camp starting and it gives us something legitimate to talk about tonight, and for the next week. Next Weds is Rookie Camp and next Sunday is Main Camp. We're almost there!!
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.

Karl Schmitz bounced around the NFL after being spotted on Youtube kicking a 70 yard field goal. His age isn't that big a deal to me for this season. What else do we expect from a low second round global pick. The fact that we got someone who might help us in some way at that slot is notable. I was thinking maybe we would snag an NFL bound global at that pick.
You love to make every move the Bombers make sound amazing, don’t you? LolThis 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.

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

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.
