Interesting... We're second at the table this year...anybody of interest?

"Richards over Waud is baffling" ... its about where help is needed most We don't need help on DL? I know we're all excited about Westerman but he's got only two or three years left really We have way more flexibility for NI on defence. At this point we could put one at DE DT, two linebacker spots, wide side corner and safety. And we only need 2 of those at any given time, and we have a lot of pieces to do that. I can see why it is more important to bolster our NI receiving content as we are not very deep there.

We started a NI at DB last year too; Matt Bucknor. With more NI DBs on the roster they could choose to use a DI at a different spot. If an American DB goes down they could put Sherman, Newman or Morgan at safety and move Leggett into that spot

It's starting to look more and more like we could see a "surprise" cut at DB. Looks like we're going to run at least one NI there. It'll be a numbers game. I feel like some guys who could be a surprise cut could end up being a surprise trade because of guys stepping up and making someone expendable

Great Mike thread. SUBSCRIBE

Remember some hard hitting videos but I not the degree

I was around here during the Slay hype off season. That wasn't long ago. I just have a crappy memory lol

Or do you mean you just don't want to get on the hype train?

Was their anything impressive stats/pedigree about Slay or was he just impressive looking? I'm seeing a lot of comparisons being made without much justification lately. Not saying this is one but..

Really, REALLY pumped about Chungh.

And I really think they wanted Richards a lot more than they wanted Durant.

Impossible to say. I'm not happy about the Morgan pick either because that's not who I wanted to see, but we can't say "so and so would've been available" - it's pretty obvious that draft boards don't play out anywhere near what the media and fans expect. So while I'm not thrilled with the pick, it can't be called a waste at this point. Agreed it's impossible to say, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't think we got the expected value out of that pick that I was hoping for, especially considering how much Walters was pumping how great this draft was. After sleeping on it though, I think Walters had a solid draft, but he didn't hit a home-run like I was hoping for. A home-run for me would have been Chungh, Demski and Shortill. That would have been an A+ in my books. Instead, I give Walters a B. I'm thinking they really wanted Shortill but really NEEDED a receiver and really liked Addison Richards. By the time their next pick came around, on Kyle Walter's board I see Shortill's name crossed off and Morgan's name right under it.

The only interesting thing (I thought) was that they want to continue with Lirim handling all kicking duties and have a backup kicker. **emergency Right, emergency would be the correct word.

This guy! Good memory.

Kamau Peterson? No not Kamau Peterson...he was Canadian and I believe played a lot of football before he got to the CFL. This guy was a track star of some kind and we brought him in to see if he could catch the football too. Didn't make it out of TC.

Kind of reminds me of that super speedy american receiver we signed for TC that one time (believe it was Taman). He also hadn't played much of any football. Can't remember his name though. He couldn't catch the ball, at all. Hopefully this is a different story.

These things tend to work themselves out.

Little also out a couple games. He didn't seem like his usual self against Ottawa...

I was happy trading Kane and Bogo for Meyers, Stafford plus prospects and a 1st rounder. In my opinion it will make us a better team now AND in the future. I won't analyze it here in great detail but it was really an amazing trade IMO and I'm looking forward to the 2015-2016 season. This team is not a Cup contending team though. Some of the rumours of us trading draft picks to get forward depth scares me a little bit. Keep the cupboards fully stocked Jets. This isn't our year.

Hope last year didn't ruin him. He played very well at the start of the year despite the guys he had in front of him, but just couldn't keep it up due to injury(fear?).

Pretty excited to see him in a Bomber uniform. I think he will excel.

This is the smart way... is it not? I would agree. Very smart decision by the Bomber braintrust

Pretty clear we didn't want to spend big money on an import receiver so that we could use it on Canadians (and maybe an import OT...)
