CFL draft is a crap shoot at the best of times, taking a chance on a big athletic WR who may never see the field is a chance id be willing to take. He has the tools where as Etienne obviously did not- that's poor drafting. 

Waggonner obviously did not pan out for us but that doesn't make him a bad pick either, with the salaries in the CFL a lot of times the guys could make more money pursuing other careers as much as we don't like it.

With Waggoner having jumped the fence, I do wonder if trying to swing a deal for Judge would be a good idea. Waggoner's CV wasn't as good as Judge's and a ratio-buster NI linebacker is always welcome- there has to be another Mike O'Shea out there.

Matt Nichols is still the starter but Mike O'Shea has stated he is "on thin ice" due to having a child recently.  MOS believe players should be totally focused on football. Clarence Denmark was b

Allow me to re-phrase my earlier post for the pedantic newcomer... The Winnipeg Bombers have now signed all of their 2017 draft picks with the exception of Geoff Gray.  Gray is currently under co

Never understood the fascination with sitting here bemoaning the what if's of a draft class, especially when we've had the success we've had. We're averaging a starter a year from the draft and we're

I don't think we need to but i wouldn't be against it if the riders can't get a deal done and Walters can give him a similar contract Waggoner had.

I have a feeling Judge is a very similar player to Waggonner and Jones did not take into account he would have to pay a STer 1st rd money. That's why Riderfans is pretty testy these days.

haha, I read your post, and basically said that exact thing in my head (#15... Matt Nichols??)... then I went to the Bombers site to confirm... b/c I like to research stuff before posting to make me seem smarter...

Judge seems to have a higher ceiling, so may be worth pursuing, providing Jones is sane.

See, I told my brain "fetch me the number of that internet maligned Canadian receiver the Bombers drafted in the second round", and my brain came back and said "#15!".

Only afterwards did I realize I should have added "and NOT Aaron Hargreaves!".

Body is back, but brain is still gone fishing.

When i saw their testing results i can't recall exactly but i believe Waggonner's were slightly better but comparable, i think the fact Judge played for UCLA helps a lot though and his pedigree might be better with better coaching and playing in a better conference.

Out of curiosity what is the deal with Burton.  What does placing him on the suspended list mean? Miss a flight?  Passport issues?  Why would they do that and not release him?

FMB officially signs so all the draft picks aside from Gray are under contract now.

Umm.. technically Gray is under contract too... just not to us.  So, ALL of our DP's are signed to professional contracts.  Jones has drafted one player that has a valid contract signed, Auclair.  Who has signed with.. the Bucs.

Could be anything really.  Might find out more if they have a post-practice press conference today.

I know this is your schtick and everything, but we don't need that here. We know the deal with Gray, guys like bigg jay don't need to be corrected on semantics. :rolleyes:

With Burton (for the time being?) out of the running and leading in the race for the Jernigan Award, I am jumping on the TJ Thorpe bandwagon.

Santos-Knox, Carmichael and Jeffcoat on D.

Interesting. Means nothing but Carmichael listed as LB on depth chart.  

I think Jeffcoat is a safe bet. 

I'll go Nick Temple at MLB and we will go with a surprise guy in Porter at dB.
