rebusrankin Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Its like having multiple arrests is one of the things Jones looks for when scouting. Mark F and DanoT 2
Mike Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Apparently they’re converting Elam to receiver ... you can’t make this up

Zontar Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Riders plucked a cdn o liner off HAMs garbage pile. Week 4 and Riders are in full scrap heapin' mode. The Classic and wbbfan 2

Wonder how long before they kick the tires on speller. Im surprised they didnt go after tyler johnstone. Ohhh maybe we could trade them neuf. Thatd be great...
rebusrankin Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 I'll guess that they did bid on Johnstone but got outbid.

Jacquie Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Just now, Tracker said: Any other news from the supplemental draft? There was only one player in this supplemental draft and it's the last one for this season.
17to85 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 So this should bump up the bombers 2 first round picks this year right? All in all pretty sweet. This is of course assuming the Als wind up dead last.
AtlanticRiderFan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Jesus, Chris Jones loves him some criminals. He's always signing some ****** with some kind of assault, domestic violence charges. I mean, this guy is probably a slight step up from having a receiver as a DB, but still scraping the bottom of the barrel. 25 minutes ago, 17to85 said: So this should bump up the bombers 2 first round picks this year right? All in all pretty sweet. This is of course assuming the Als wind up dead last. That is also assuming it isn't the Riders who finish last, which at this point looks likely.

How have the mighty fallen. True but their opinions are meaningless. On that site it's the opinions of a select few that matter. Some are subtly defending Jones by trying to spread the blame around. Others are warning against "knee jerk" reactions and putting critics on the defensive for being over reactive and not providing solutions...as if thats the fan's responsibility. The Classic 1
Booch Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah in the draft next year we will have 2 picks in the first round where there will only be 8 picks in the round..so for us that's a pretty sweet deal. Over last 3 years..and with next year we will have built some nice depth and talent via the draft and not had to overpay for free agents. The Classic 1

What the actual hell? Put Carter at receiver (his normal position) and Elam at DB (also his normal position). Not rocket science, Jones, you stubborn idiot! This Carter experiment has already failed. bearpants 1
DanoT Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) 18 hours ago, Mike said: Apparently they’re converting Elam to receiver ... you can’t make this up Actually, you or someone can make stuff up as Elam a DB has been brought in by the Riders to try out at CB. Otoh, the QB that Riders recently released was not brought in to be a QB but to try out as a CB. So, Mike it turns out that you are right after all....you can't make this stuff up.
