Ya if they removed the picks we'd be better off but they weren't ever doing that. Our picks at 15 and 18 were at 15 and 18 before today's announcement. Also, wasn't our first round pick at 7 before today? Now it is at 6.

Ya totally agree that it doesn't make sense. The picks should just be forfeited. Bombers aren't any worse off though. Just Calgary gets a huge bonus.

How was Woli not given a chance? He started for years. Him and Demski are the reason no other Canadians got a chance at receiver.

No extra picks were added though right? So isn't that pick in the same spot? Our 1st rounder would have moved up a spot since BCs pick was moved the end of the round for Calgary.

Ricky Walker missed the play in the backfield. Jefferson was out there but contained the right side while Kelly ran up the middle. Jake couldn't fill the gap when Kelly scrambled. For those that want to re-live the misery - 4:20

Anybody listen to the OB special? Anything interesting of note? Haven't listened to it yet but here is the spotify link

They usually post them as a podcast too on Spotify at least

The real reason the Bombers lost the last 3 cups... they didn't play the Ti-Cats. Hopefully the Ti-Cats are good enough to make it there this year!

True but who was really available to get? Ceresna was always going to Edm. Brinkman would have been nice. Geno Lewis? Price tag exceeds production.

Ya McManus is worth it for sure but he's the best D player in the league. Kelly was on a rookie contract for the first cup and didn't even play in this years. Ceresna they traded for and then lost immediately when he was FA again. Overall TO isn't going out chasing all the flashy FAs and paying top $. That isn't how they won the 2 of the last 3. Spending all that money on Schoen and Lawler last year bit us when they got hurt and there was no one left but rookies to play.

I get what you're saying but they locked up Schoen and Brady last year for top $. Two star guys in their prime. Who has won anything recently making FAs the top paid players?

Based on how a lot of draftees turn out, getting one all-star season out a 2nd round pick is pretty good. Anthony Bennett and Faith E now those were wasted picks.

They made him the highest paid non-QB of course he's going to say how great the Ti-Cat organization is.

Got to be pretty much everyone not on a rookie deal makes $100k
