Here's a list of 2nd round draft picks over the last several seasons... 2013 - Charles, Stefan Robertson, Kristopher Haidara, Seydou Junior D'Aguilar, Ben Shahin, Hosam Urban, Brent Jones, Brett Gabriel, Jermaine 2012 - Laing, Cleyon Plesius, Frédéric Lavoie, Patrick Hurl, Samuel Rockhill, Carson Capicciotti, Justin Stephen, Courtney 2011 - Petrus, Moe O'Neill, Hugh Butler, Craig Forbes, Maurice Lopez, Hugo O'Donnell, Matthew Barrette, Anthony Turner, Junior 2010 - Sisco, Jordan Watson, Cory Gore, Shawn Shaw, Grant Borhot, Saleem Allen, Taurean Ihekwoaba, Chima Dublanko, Curtis 2009 - Lambros, Matt Hinse, Gordon Sterling, Dee Hinds, Ryan Bedard, Martin Singer, Matt Black, Tristan George, Tamon So really out of this complete list maybe 20% of the players ever made the team and really how many would you say are greatly better then Neufeld? The Canadian Draft is a complete crap shoot like I said before, people make this out to being like the NFL draft where the first 4 rounds almost guarantees that the player will have a complete NFL career. Walters made the right move, Neufeld can play NOW and while he is average, that alone is better then crap like Boatman and Morley at this point in time. O-linemen usually peak later in their career, so why not try the guy out and maybe he will gel and have a half decent career. I just find it funny that people are in an outrage and think that we got royally raped in the bum, I don't see Robertson lighting it up for the Blue and he was a 2nd round pick... what about that Aaron Hargreaves fellow that Taman drafted in the 2nd round he really lit it up didn't he!

First round picks are a crap shoot, how many first rounders in the last few years have made a big impact. Heck we seen early picks get cut in training camp!

It was the same when Kelly was here, everyone knew he was getting canned and we all were wondering who would come in and who would be our qb.

Good on Turner! I wish there was a way the fans could tell the players to be patient and that next year they should have a much better coaching staff to work under.

I don't mind the trade at all, if what the previous poster said about him being under contract for three more years then it's pretty good. I do think the riders win the trade with that second round pick. It would of been better if we swapped third round picks. I don't hold much weight in any draft picks. Look how great our last first round picks have been playing. A starting non import is easily worth any pick. Hall won't come back he was going no matter what. We can find someone else, the team didn't die when we dumped Odell and when Hunt left. In the end this helps us out and Walters did OK.

Can anyone give a recap of the post game show? Was Irving still pissed as he was earlier in the game? Did Burke actually have some sort of emotion, if I was him i'd be melting down like Kavis did in the past....

Do we not remember how the offense was even worse then it is now. The jet package, Brock Ralph going deep and running in circles?

Reilly looked OK today. It's to bad that the defense did not show up. Donovan Alexander is absolutely brutal out there. I wonder if there will be consequences from Reed after being blown out.

Sheets did look pretty darn good so I'd give him a break on that. Suitor hasn't been that bad this year in comparison to years past.

This isn't the first time. That's the cold hard truth. It's been a long time since things have been this bad though. Mike Kelly era wasn't that long ago.

It would be nice to see him have a break out game though.... with Elliott it was either great or poop.... with Hall it's been consistent mediocrity.

I watched parts of the Lions game and they looked completely uninterested in playing tonight. Poor effort on the defense , looked like a Creehan-Marshall fusion defense where all DB's had to play 10 yards away from any receiver. DeMarco made some critical poorly timed interceptions early on which killed them. Buck is downright atrocious, he pretty much nearly gave up a safety, tossed 2 passes out of bounds.

Toronto playing sloppy, looks like they will lose this one. Collaros also looking very green out there.

Some pretty bad comments on here.... But if Sask is interested in a trade, Hall for a starting O-lineman would be fine by me.

Good for him, go figure a team would want a qb with some cfl experience

That's really a shame, I wish that the qbs wouldn't get so beat up. Poor Edmonton has lost both there qbs this season

No way Toronto gives up Ray....

Even if it was Tate?

As for the game, kind of ugly to watch... London is just brutal and surprised that they are playing him. Riders are just out of synch , maybe Khari and Cortez are over rated.

This would be prime time to trade with Taman... Maybe we can get something for Mainor or some one in our secondary? Maybe mainor, Cauchy and Stewart for some decent talent and a draft pick

Another one of these threads For the record they should of brought in Jyles a few weeks back instead of Boltus. Oh well ride out Hall and Goltz and next season reload with Collaros, Glenn, Tate, Burris, Willy whoever they can get....

Lol if Burke is kept next season then good luck on them trying to sell season tickets for next year.

You mean no more coaches that look like this during the game

Fantastic point!

Really what could Miller do at this point? Only big move he can make to maybe ease the pain for the rest of this season would be trading for Tate. Toronto is not going to trade Collaros not while Ray is still on the mend. Firing a coach makes no real sense, going to the public and saying the team sucks really doesn't make sense at all either. At this point Miller can't do anything aside from interviewing for next season.
