Last pick - DL Owen Hubert from McMaster.

Maybe his service record is classified.

Second last pick - OL Michael Vlahogiannis from McGill.

Our 6th round pick is local kid AK Gassama.

Bombers take a swing, grabbing Giovanni Manu at 46.

Yup, updated my post with more info. He's returning to school next year so it's a futures pick. Bombers take Waterloo OL Ethan Kalra at 40.

Bombers take Ian Leroux lb from Laval at 37. 3DN had him as their top long snapper.

He went at 32... Must have just been a typo by Hodge!

Mini-camp with the Jets.

Would have been nice to have him learning from Willie.

I feel like Chris-ike could have been available at 20. BC taking Benedet was a no-brainer so that only left Hamilton Edmonton and BC again. Do any of those teams need a Canadian RB?

Dislike that pick... at that spot anyway.

There's one! Are you making your picks from the toilet again?

Bombers can now draft two FB's to fill their glaring need - Hodge (probably).

13, 14, 17 & 20 now. Only thing I don't like is having to wait longer! 😂

O'Day says hold my beer and drafts a guy who might not be up here at all!

Pre-season yes but regular season will depend on where you are. The CFL Plus page says: https://www.cfl.ca/plus/

Yes but some people don't care about facts.

I feel full just reading that name! Used to go there for work lunches every so often and never left extremely satisfied and extremely unproductive for the rest of the day. Definitely could have used an afternoon nap on those days! 😂

I agree that DL is more of a immediate priority but the draft isn't a great place to address immediate needs as there are very few players that can step right in and make an impact. I mean we took Bennett because he was the most "pro-ready" DL available and we saw what he did. The rational for a receiver isn't bad (IMO) and it's very similar to our OL needs. We have aging players in both spots (Demski, Neufeld) that will need to be replaced at some point and we've lost a couple of depth guys (BOLO, Gray) so it makes sense to get a couple more guys in the pipeline.

No different than when we took Ford. If he eventually receives legitimate NFL interest, he'll be allowed to explore it (either released by the club or as a FA). Is it any more risky than drafting someone from another province and worrying about how long until they want to go play at home?

3DN did a live 2 round mock draft yesterday and I thought it was a good listen. They had Hodge, Abbott & Ben Grant each picking for 3 teams over the first two rounds. It was interesting for me since we now have a better idea about NFL prospects and the fact that they were picking against each other, it forced them to change their picks on the fly if someone they had lined up was taken as GM's would in real life. Here's how they picked: Round 1 1) Edmonton - Joel Dublanco, LB - Cincinnati (Hodge) 2) Ottawa - Kevin Mital, WR - Laval (Grant) 3) Saskatchewan - Geoffrey Cantin-Arku, LB - Memphis (Abbott) 4) Calgary - Nathaniel Dumoulin-Dugay, OL - Laval (Hodge) 5) Toronto - Kyle Hergl, OL - Boston College (Grant) 6) BC - Benjamin Labrosse, DB - McGill (Abbott) 7) Hamilton - Daniel Opoko, DL - San Diego State (Grant) 8) Winnipeg - George Una, OL - Windsor (Hodge) 9) Montreal - Christy Nkannu, OL - Washington State (Abbott) Round 2 10) Edmonton - Nick Mardner, WR - Auburn (Hodge) 11) Ottawa - Gabe Wallace, OL - Buffalo (Grant) 12) Saskatchewan - Luke Brubacher, DL - Wilfred Laurier (Abbott) 13) Calgary - Tyson Hergott, DL - Waterloo (Hodge) 14) Calgary - Christophe Beaulieu, DB - Laval (Hodge) 15) BC - John Bosse, OL - Calgary (Abbott) 16) Hamilton - Kevens Clercius, WR - Connecticut (Grant) 17) Winnipeg - Theo Benedet, OL - UBC (Hodge) 18) Edmonton - Michael Chris-Ike, RB - Delaware State (Hodge) 19) BC - Nick Wiebe - LB Saskatchewan (Abbott) 20) Winnipeg - Dhel Duncan-Busby, WR - Bemidji State (Hodge) https://3downnation.com/2024/04/28/3downnation-podcast-2024-cfl-mock-draft-live/
