Official Expansion Draft Day Thread

[TrueBlue]

Today marks a historical day.  Eight teams will look a little different after today, and the last one will start forming some shape.  Should be interesting.

When does all the excitement begin and when will we know players taken?  Am I correct that the round by round draft will not be revealed, just the end result?

I'm still not convinced Ottawa doesn't take Collaros. The only reason I think they pass is because they can't afford to give Toronto AND Calgary the option to protect more Canadians and I can't see them passing on one of Glenn or Tate.

 

Don't really care about imports other than QB, but as far as NI talent goes, I think this is how they do it

 

Saskatchewan -- OL/DL

Toronto -- OL

Calgary -- WR

Montreal -- OL/LB

Hamilton -- Skill position

BC -- OL

Edmonton -- DL

Winnipeg -- OL/WR

Pretty sure they'll be announcing one round at a time.

There will be a gab between each round a hour or so.

My bad, should have posted this.  Each round will be streamed live and the draft tracker in on the right.

In Calgary here we are all thinking it's Kevin Glenn who will be drafted. Glenn is popular in the city & the majority of Stamps fans would like to see  Drew Tate gone (me included). If Glenn does go, I can't see Tate being a happy camper & he may request a trade. However, with Glenn gone, the Stamps lose an insurance policy of having a veteran qb on the roster if Mitchell goes down. I think Tate could have a tremendous upside if 4 things happen. (1) He stays healthy (2) He loses that chip on his shoulder (3) He quits pointing fingers to teammates on the field when a play goes wrong (4) He begins to act like a leader.

Shultz is an idiot thought Ottawa could draft both Glenn and Tate

[Mike]

Wallace Miles

[saskbluefan]

Surprised we didn't protect Miles.

[Mike]

Not impressed we lost Wallace Miles lol

[Mr. Perfect]

Glenn and Demarco the QB's.

[Mike]

BC loses Demarco

[Mr Dee]

Wallace Miles....

 

OK, I officially dislike Ottawa, right off the bat.

[MOBomberFan]

Good for Glenn, he deserves to be a starter somewhere. DeMarco at backup is nothing to be upset about either.

[Logan007]

Motten hopkins, Jonathan Williams, Wallace Miles, James Lee, Calton Mitchell, Thomas DeMarco, Kevin Glenn

 

I missed one.

[Mike]

Well, if Ottawa sticks with Demarco and Glenn, I'd say they're most certainly out of the Collaros sweepstakes.

[saskbluefan]

Not impressed we lost Wallace Miles lol

 

The important thing is we didn't lose Boltus.
