Thats an interesting read. Idk about us going with one of each linemen for our first round picks. I think we grab behar or if some how he should drop vandervoort. 

Its a strange draft. The positions with first round talent have multiple guys. dt, wr, ol none of them have one guy head and shoulders better then the wrest. I wouldnt be surprised if our top 3 picks are ol, dl and wr at all. But I think we go wr with the 2nd first. The drop off at wr is much faster and much steeper then DL or ol. Ol will go early and often, as it allways does.

I'm hoping by the end of the draft Evan Gill ends up on the Bombers roster.  If nothing else he would be great on ST.

Interesting... not sure if this has been mentioned yet...

EDIT: after reading the full article it sounds like he has realistic NFL chances... so I guess we'll wait and see...

Based on the level of NFL interest in him, he'll probably drop a few rounds.

yeah I kinda just read the headline and the first paragraph and thought this guy could be a first rounder... then after reading the whole thing it sounds like he may be a futures pick for someone later in the draft...

The NFL draft starts tomorrow so we'll soon start to see how much actual interest there is for the top guys.

Cameron Judge is ranked 834 overall in NFL prospects and 67th in OLBs. 

Weighing close to 220 lbs, he might be a little small for the NFL.

the kid definitely reeks of a MOS player....but likely a good shot at the NFL first.

With his athletic prowess he probably gets listed as a saftey, but his teams play would be what gets him on the roster. Every player who gets nfl interest could make them self a full nfl career if they just commit them self to excelling on teams. He seems like that kinda guy. With some eye popping numbers to back em up.

thats the truth. 

 

Holy sweet crap this guy is a missile.

I have no inside info, but I would bet he will be in the CFL this season. He does not fit the NFL linebacker model. Soooo....here come de Judge.

a guy like him can easily make the nfl to play teams alone though. his size would work as a back up saftey as well.

One of those teams, the Green Bay Packers, invited the six-foot-six, 315-pound Gray to Wisconsin for a visit. Gray is the CFL draft’s third-ranked prospect but his agent, Darren Gill, said all the mechanical engineering major wants is a chance to play in the NFL.

Better him than that Jonathan Hardaway guy........that's the one that's always been an ******* right? Was Henoc's agent?

[WildPath]

Yup. Hardaway was/is the difficult one who enjoys playing games.

But it always works out in his clients favour.  Just ask Josiah St.John who held out for less money than originally offered!

Between Judge and Colling, we'll have the opportunity to really improve our roster more than anticipated at 6.

 

EDIT: Sorry, let me clarify ... I'm not suggesting we'll take either guy, I just mean they've entered into the upper echelon of the draft board and as a result, the draft is deeper at the top now. Judge could mean us having the chance to take a guy like Vandervoort at 6. I wouldn't say no to Judge either depending on how the NFL Draft shakes down.

I think my favourite part of this article might be the accompanying picture of Kyle Walters with Joe Mack sneering in the background...

I'm not usually big on those "Quote This Pic" things, 'cause they're usually lame, but this one has potential for some good stuff, as clearly someone just dropped ass and Mack is the first to notice...

Judge seems to have a nose for the ball and sheds blocks incredibly well. Can't teach those things. Definitely a first-rounder if he is willing to sign.

yeah hes got great football instincts, work ethic, and is out of this world athletically for a NI. On top of that hes a guy who relishes playing teams. He would have scored among the best ranks at the combine this year, save for the bench.
