Wow, it's almost like they knew something that we didn't. Funny how that works.

Like most drafts... we can look back at it in a few years a determine how well the bombers did... for now I'll just have to trust our scouts and management...

Hodge is dumb. You need Canadians that can play all over the roster. I want to get a CFL GM so I can do an experiment and never draft an OL. I bet my team would be great. All American OL and a bunch of Canadians rotating through 7 spots elsewhere.

Love how you’re always trying to get creative here but I really doubt we’re going to be seeing LaFrance as a receiver. Sometimes the simple solution is the right one. We’ll be starting one of Wolitarsky, Simonise or Petermann.

Finally 5 QBs on the roster and none of them ex-TiCats...!!! This is a great day

Speaking of which wouldn't be great if Trump started wearing military fatigues, he could regale everyone with some great Vietnam Stories ??

not sure if just drafted a Ultimate frisbee player?

another wr tyrone pierre calm down tburg DONT LOOK

Imagine TBURGESS being negative, I for one am shocked

So you acknowledge we're shaky at receiver but upset we drafted two receivers.

Demski and Coates start, Simonise and Wolitarsky backup. Petermann starts on the PR. Looks good.

be funny if we took petermann

Riders pick next. Prediction: It's going to be great !

Doesn't make sense to take the 8th best OL when the 2nd best receiver is still on the board, IMO.

Its May 4th and we haven't won a game yet in 2018. It is clearly time to talk regime change!

A couple of years ago our Canadian receiver talent consisted of Kohlert and JFG. Those guys brought their lunch pails every day and gave us everything they had, but the upside was not super high. I have no issues with the resources we are throwing at improving our Canadian receiving depth, especially given the league-wide success rate of draft picks at that position.

Bowman is a good example for Simonise to follow. Bowman had to learn that just using his physical gifts aren't enough & that he still had to put in work to be successful. Hopefully he's able to pass that on to Simonise.

From top to bottom the Jets didn't have the energy needed to win, true enough. But maybe if the 3rd line was Ros/Little/Armia and the Lowry line was the 4th line the Jets could have actually played all four lines consistently and wore down Nashville as the game went on. Instead the Lowry line got 3rd line minutes and looked pretty worn down as the game went on, and the 4th line barely played 7 minutes. If Hendricks only plays 6 minutes and does nothing offensively and can't keep up to begin with then what's the point? If Nashville continues with this D first system we need speed and hard forechecking. And a full four line effort. Like what Nashville does. Put your best lineup in every night. And that means Roslo over Hendricks.

Yeah this one is totally on the fourth line... if only Roslo was in for Hendricks we would have blown them out.

Like the luckiest man on earth to have even gotten a chance to play pro?

3 OL, 3 WR and a DB. Beefing up the depth behind our Canadian starters.

Maybe those mock drafts of the bombers taking like 6 wrs aren't that far off...

Simonise was likely the BPA. High upside. I like his his size and the fact that he's got a bit of NFL experience. I don't like that he hasn't played a lot of football lately, his drug tests, or his performance at the combine. A swing for the fences in the 2nd round picking a guy that wouldn't exactly be called an O'Shea or Walters kind of player. Will be interesting to see how he makes the conversion to the CFL.

maybe maybe not. he didnt hissy fit after being cut in the nfl so who knows. its all gonna be about how he acts and re acts now that he is finally pro.

Mr. Bowman, I'd like you to meet your new student. Like you, at his age...he may have a little growing up to do.

And some think the sky is falling

Just say NO to thread necro. /end

Streveler is a guy they’ve wanted a look at for a while. I think he’s got a good shot. Very CFL style QB.

Kudos Kyle, on a job...done...

Had the chance to put the foot down .... might be the turning point of this series.

Very disappointed on coaching and leadership tonight. That’s not how you play at home when you can take a stranglehold. Get it together.

Jets look flat. No energy. Nash playing boring heavy D.. Have taken the crowd out of it completely. Not sure theres a comeback tonight.. They just look off.

Depth is good.

It’s actually three receivers when you include wolitarsky... ha

Seems like the bombers are going BPA... no matter what position...

I'm telling you, since Hodge has gone to 3rdown. He tries to mask his homerism for the bombers by making odd arguments against some of the moves they make.

If the Bomber staff do not fall at his feet in training camp, he may throw a hissy-fit and bolt.

Simonise looked like he was just not pushing himself. Not a good showing.

I don't know about the character stuff, testing positive, leaving school before that. All I know is that he'll have to earn any playing time he gets here and that bodes well for us. He's got guys like Harris and Bowman who weren't the brightest bulbs when they were young either to take notes from.

Of every one drafted today, no one has been in the mix to be a high pick for soo many years. Idk how any one can hate coming out of the draft with a 2nd round pick getting you probably the highest upside guy available. Hes a guy we could use on teams potentially. He and wolitarski give us the biggest up side among young NI wrs that weve seen in decades.

simonise didn't look that good at the combine I thought. Or am I misremembering?

i like this pick

I like the pick. I was hoping for another WR and hey why not swing for the fences and try to hit a home run. At worst, you add depth and your 4 game day NI receiver, at best you add a stud NI WR.

not too surprising. funny weve talked about him for soo many years on here now we got him haha. the best potential of any one left by a mile so its not too surprising. Not exactly the typical character guy we go for though.

These OL runs in CFL Drafts are basically a meme now. There's a few guys in this draft who are high end who aren't OL, and there's a few of these OL who are going to bust hard. But everyone just takes OL.

Looking good for the Bombers to have their pick of receiver, DB or RB at 12.

Chapman to the Tigercats, Rutherford to the Als. No surprises so far.

Last game was such an extreme of highs and lows... from abject misery and an endless string of cursing, to untold heights of delirious joy. Here in Edmonton, I’m sure my neighbours would have called the cops, except they knew I was home watching a Jets game lol.

Roslovic is clearly the better player than Hendricks at this point, the only thing I can really guess at is that Hendricks is a left shot and Roslovic a right shot, so Armia comes in for Roslovic. But that's pretty soft.
