2023 CFL Draft Discussion

[Geebrr]

******* TSN - it is Ottawa’s pick - so let’s go over Montreal’s recent picks 

[JuranBoldenRules]

All these picks are such great fits.

If they are going to have such shitty analysis they really should increase the pace.

[Tracker]

Ottawa takes a 5'9" linebacker?!?!?

[JuranBoldenRules]

This guy was a successful college player...oh, I thought a lot of pro football prospects had terrible college careers.

HUGE special teamer.  They aren't drafting him to play D.

I love Barker saying any of the first 9 could have gone 1st 

So it is a bad draft year 

[rebusrankin]

Some of these guys are going to be on CFL rosters in 2023.

Sign me up for next year, TSN.

Yeah awful.  All the good OL are NFLers.  The top rated CIS OL tested extremely poorly including getting dummied in the live drills.  Not a lot of years where Bull would be a 1st rounder let alone 1st overall.

[Geebrr]

Montreal takes a FB

Why am I watching this?

[JuranBoldenRules]

They are going to have to really hurry to even get through the second round by 9 PM.

[Geebrr]

Outside of Simonise we have killed round 2 

[Tracker]

And now we have Jake Kelly (DB).

[Noeller]

This guy reeks of a ST demon...

But he is going to stand on tiptoe to see over the nap of the turf. And roll his socks down to pee.

It kind of sucks to have to be using our top picks just to replace guys we lost to the nfl. But it is what it is.

Futures pick for the Argos.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Long snappers getting picked in 3rd round.  Great draft year.

[bigg jay]

3rd round pick for the Bombers:

[JuranBoldenRules]

Gotta say it...**** John Hodge for calling any pick in this draft a reach.

[bigg jay]

4th round pick:

Tanner Schmekel, University of Regina (Regina, Ssk.)

 

A monster in the middle for the Rams, Schmekel is a bull-strong, 290-pound gap plugger who is almost impossible to move off his spot. A team is liable to fall in love with his positional discipline and physicality on tape, but his below-average athletic ability and mere 30-inch arms limit his potential.

[rebusrankin]

So futures picks the rest of the way?

[JuranBoldenRules]

Don't draft a dead guy, don't draft a dead guy, don't draft a dead guy

Montreal goes with Shedler Fervius in 5th round.

[wbbfan]

So far picks looks good. I like Bennetts potential fit. Rotational pass rusher behind a di and hansen play some teams. But old and a bit light. 
 high upside athletic db who could also play teams in Kelly. 
 Murphy seems like mini woli. 
schmekel drips that nasty hard nosed mafia type. 
would love to see some futures picks. 

[bigg jay]

BC with the FU to the Bombers and take Ringland one pick before our turn.

Bombers miss on one local and grab another in Collin Kornelson.

Riders go with the first real futures pick in Sidy Sow.

[Noeller]

Love that we got Kornelson. The profile Tait wrote makes him seem like the ultimate Mafia guy. Just a super nice kid who wants to do things the right way. It nothing else he's gonna fit in really well.
