Thats such old school thinking its crazy. We now have starting Cdns at RB.. At Receiver.. DL.. OL.. Safety..
In my opinion.. I don't care if we start 3 Imp OL or 5... Starting 5 means we have the talent elsewhere . I've always thought if there was a way to start 4 import OL and have your 7 CDN starters eksewhere... ****.. Nobody could compete with u.
Mack was a hell of a scout... We are bullshitting ourselves if we are pretending he didnt bring in a ton of quality American players. His downfall was 1. His inability to draft CDNs.. And the lack of QB.
Reilly is good.. I think the overrated comment might be because hes a duck n chuck QB... Meaning his receivers really did make some amazing catches for him. Hes good but.. The best QB for my money is BLM.
Lets start with the drafted guys.. Specifically Desjarlais Kongbo Oliviera and The Samoan.
Then... Simonise and Pettermann.
Then id like to see our WIL LB.. Whoever it will be.
And last but not least... Our DBs.. Malik Boynton is intriguing
There is a market for sure. AAFs problem was lack of promotion.
People were watching.... AAFs business model was flawed.. It was 100 percent based on the idea they would be an nfl developmental league. Nobody told the NFL that tho... Theres a market for football there.. Im not convinced XFL is in those markets tho.
Go look at Carolinas Playoff history.. Its insane. They either make the conference finals or cup final or dont make the playoffs... Seriously. Its crazy.
That was my other thought. There isn't many teams who start a Canadian RB so maybe Oliviera or Lyles would be there at 25 and you improve your CDN ol depth at 14. I see them wanting an OL who u send back to school tho.. A true developmental type.. 14 seems early
