I also wouldn't be surprised if he made it... good size for DE... should have enough speed... worst case scenario is it brings some American attention to the CFL... The "plus" side to him getting cut is it shows that CFL is no push-over for former NFL draftees... That was proved a long time ago. To CFL fans, yes... but most NFL fans still think the CFL is bush league and any NFLer can dominate here...

I wasn't aware of his veteran combine numbers... that could definitely hurt him if he isn't in better shape...

I would think Pointbriand would have to regress significantly to be cut in favour of a rookie... Not only is he a fairly reliable FB but he's a special teams ace as well as the captain... Could see Normand/Lattanzio taking a year to learn and compete for the starting spot next year...

So to clarify.... you're suggesting that our scouting department and GM don't know what they're doing and are using a first round pick on a guy based on Nick Moore's recommendation?... Also that Ed Tait/Waggoner lied in the article and Moore was actually recruiting him to play in BC?... Bolded statement also doesn't make any sense... the article from the BC Province said 4 teams offered a 1st round pick for him... sounds to me like other teams did, in fact, go after him...

Hoping for 9-10 wins (or more).... what I really expect to see is the team progress as the year proceeds... hopefully we hit our stride by playoffs...

Problem is when Miller, Walters etc are doing good things.... we need something to complain about!

At camp in 2013 I woulda ranked him 2nd behind only Buck... Buck, Yantz, Hall, Goltz, Chase something (I forget the guy's name) ... then again, there wasn't much to be excited about that year... Chase Clement. Yeah there wasn't too much memorable about him.... I'm sure he's a nice guy though

Sounds like Kyle owes Duane Forde a doughnut. Also - how pissed off is Wally right now? He had this kid in the bag and Forde totally screwed it up for him. It would have been interesting to know if Wally was planning to switch Waggoner's passport after the draft passed by. Didn't someone say earlier in this thread that you can't do that??

Also if BC needs a safety so bad (according to that article they do)... why wouldn't they use a late round pick on Chapman... rather than try their luck at signing him as a free agent...

The Lions were one of four teams to offer a first-round 2016 pick for Waggoner, but lost him to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who reaped the benefit of a higher waiver claim order from missing the playoffs last year. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/05/20/lions-not-playing-safe-to-replace-safety/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed Now that the great and powerful Wally Buono has justified this selection, I am happy with it!

Leggett is a ball hawk too, great anticipation skills, hate to lose him in the secondary. No reason got can't have Leggett on the field at the same time as a Canadian safety in certain packages... but all signs definitely point to our ratio being 3 o-line, 1 rec, and 3 on defense

Poor planning and forgetting fans needs is something that I thought was gone with Wade leading the charge... always look forward to watching TC... I guess we'll see what they come up with...

The woman's FIFA tournament is taking over IGF. Well that makes sense and is forgiveable... but still disappointing...

Is TC seriously not being held at IG field?? This is a massive disappointment....

Was 2011 the year with Poblah and Laurent?

Cam Marshall played in the last game against Calgary last year... I was hoping to see more of him in that game, had a couple decent runs...

At camp in 2013 I woulda ranked him 2nd behind only Buck... Buck, Yantz, Hall, Goltz, Chase something (I forget the guy's name) ... then again, there wasn't much to be excited about that year...

Something people are forgetting.... last season Greaves played between an injured January and a declining Morley... putting him between Bryant and Picard will make a huge difference... I agree that Greaves is no all-star... but surround him with all-stars and he'll definitely help solidify the left side...

Hopefully he can be what everyone has wanted Fitzgerald to be... or a combo pack of Fitz/Pointbriand

Maybe we should be worried if Walters think like Taman...

This is one of the saddest "highlight" packs I've ever seen... it was just still photos, bad angles, and practice video... I'd love to see an actual video of what he can do...

That's a fact that everyone seems to be ignoring... Canadian WRs is something every team needs and Sask and Ottawa both passed on him... the final rec rankings were Durant, Demski, Richards, Harty....

Based on that list of RFAs I would take Holtby in a heartbeat... Huberdeau, Galchenyuk, and Taresenko are great players but they wouldn't be as significant an upgrade as Holtby would be... there's where I'd spend my 25M over 6 years... And for all the buzz kills out there I guess it should be clarified this is kind of a dream scenario... no one is actually suggesting the Jets will sign one of these RFAs away from their team...

Canada taking on power house Belarus right now in the quarter finals... 4-0 after one... this would be fun to watch if I wasn't at work...
