I trust the Bombers on this. Looks like they didn't think 9 would yield them a whole lot so get a rotational DE out of the deal and probably go with an OL at 13....or maybe they are not done and we trade back into the 1st round.

Stickem Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 Cagey move by Walters and company to pick this guy up.....In a year that looks 'strained' for talent and with us having latter round picks, why not pick-up established talent from a willing trade partner..... wbbfan 1
rebusrankin Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I'll defer to trusting the front office. Wonder if this is a sign that Eli or Dobson will be in camp? Edited May 3, 2022 by rebusrankin
no71 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 Family friend is 5 year Oline for Queens and very smart kid. Says Cam is a “great teammate and a beast” (uSport level). definitely a position need for team and they likely judged better than anyone available at 9. Bigblue204 1

Looks very much like a young, new Jake too. Hard not to like this deal. We move down a bit and lose 1 pick but get a guy who would be on the active roster if the season started right now. Slots in very well with the loss of kongbo. Not likely to be a full time nose tackle as a pro, but a good DT who can play nose in a pinch. https://tdnprod.wpengine.com/2020/04/26/cfl-draft-profile-defensive-tackle-cam-lawson-queens/ Stickem 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 Still in a good spot to grab a LB/S type who can make our team immediately. 13 hours ago, Mike said: Bombers sign the new runaway camp favourite based entirely off name and name alone, DB Zeno Hannibal These “six year university” guys should automatically get the nickname Van Wilder. rebusrankin and Bigblue204 2
Bigblue204 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 4 hours ago, wbbfan said: I can see the logic in that, but the CFL seldom works that way. From eli being drafted in the first place, to ruby being re instated, and soo many more moves. The level of awareness in cfl front offices on peripheral players is extremely bad. To some extent its always going to be a fact of life. CFL teams have a fraction of the scouting funds that every other league in north america has, and they have 10x more ground to cover than every thing short of baseball and soccer. I wouldn't consider Eli a peripheral player. He's a known commodity at this point. A young quality CND Olineman doesn't just drop off of peoples radar in the CFL. Like I said, if he plays in the CFL this year I'll be blown away.

A young quality CND Olineman doesn't just drop off of peoples radar in the CFL. Like I said, if he plays in the CFL this year I'll be blown away. I would. He's known to us. Because we've seen a decent amount of reps spread out over a large sample size. Other teams do a piss poor job of scouting and developing NI OL in general. They do an even worse job of scouting other teams National ol depth. If he and gray etc weren't peripheral players they would've been hotly sought after previously. Same with most of our developmental OL over the past few years. Go back and look at what Couture makes with respect to the rest of the OL in the league and you'll see. Teams don't scout other teams ol worth a damn. The only time teams really go after OL is when all star NIs come available, they try and plug and play thinking itll fix a bad OL. And it seldom works. Thats why we see soo many good and great OL (like dennis and bond) flop on bad ols, only to rebound well with other teams. Just now, Jpan85 said: Just saw this Im guessing a mini camp invite?
