CFL Draft Day Discussion Thread

@BobIrvingCJOB: Bombers will draft lavertu or Goossen. Take it to the bank.

Looks like you're going to end up being right. I'll give you credit for calling it as early as you did.

Thanks man, appreciate it. The fat lady hasn't sung just yet, but it sure is looking that way.

@PentonKirk: According to a #CFL source, the #Bombers have three offers for the No. 2 pick. #CFLDraft

[TBieber]

60 minutes. It's heating up.

[IC Khari]

The only way I see us taking a deal to move down would be if we knew that Goosen would still be available and also could nab another pretty good player in the second round if we got that (I'd say we'd have to).

Anyone know if they will have the video of the draft up on the interwebs?? I'm poor and can't afford tv...

@PentonKirk: It seems like the chances of a #Bombers trade are better if the RedBlacks take Lavertu. #CFLDraft

It's true. They may pick Goossen but they don't like him anywhere near as much as they like Lavertu. One is plug and play, one is a project

The first round will be on TSN Radio and rounds 2-7 streaming on TSN.ca and TSN GO:

Last year TSN had video of each pick from the draft up at their website rather quickly iirc.

[Floyd]

Sure would be nice to swap picks with Buono

[TBieber]

If there is no trade... and yes, this is probably highly unlikely. Just looking to switch things up from the mocks I have seen.

 

1. Ottawa - OL Pierre Lavertu

2. Winnipeg - OL Matthias Goossen

3. Edmonton - DB Antoine Pruneau

4. Montreal - OL David Foucault

5. BC - DB Andrew Lue

6. Toronto - DL Quinn Smith

7. Calgary - DL Evan Gill

8. Saskatchewan - RB Anthony Coombs

9. Hamilton - DL Dylan Ainsworth

I had the exact same top 6 when I mocked it earlier barring trades.

I have lots of money and I'm too cheap to pay for tv...

@DarrinBauming: BREAKING: The Ottawa RedBlacks have traded the 1st-overall pick to the Calgary Stampeders, per @FarhanLaljiTSN. Details emerging.

[gbill2004]

Bombers get Lavertu!!!

[TBieber]

Boom.

[gbill2004]

@FarhanLaljiTSN: Now official RT @DuaneFordeTSN: Rumour has Ottawa REDBLACKS trading the #1 overall pick & rights to Marwan Hage to Calgary for OL Jon Gott.

[IC Khari]

SWEET! ALthough it's still a rumour also according to Forde.

If we get Lavertu wonder if the rEdBlAcKs will take Goosen?

[Mike]

Wow. Desjardins.

[Captain Blue]

Wow, things are getting interesting.  Who does Calgary want?

[gbill2004]

SWEET! If we get Lavertu wonder if the rEdBlAcKs will take Goosen?

BC drafts before Ottawa and BC likes Goossen.

[Mike]

I'm trying to figure this out. Is Pruneau going first overall?

[Goalie]

is it pruneau or quinn smith even, calgary dont need a center, they got jones. maybe foucault? 

[gbill2004]

Farhan Lalji thinks Stamps take Lavertu. But why? They have Brett Jones at centre.

[IC Khari]

I wonder if Calgary wants Gill? Although they probably could have gotten him without the trade perhaps ...

[JuranBoldenRules]

Ottawa just traded 1st overall straight up for Gott?
