    got the build of Blo-De Dorzon, but hopefully the talent of Joe Smith

    I'd argue Hansen was at worst a very good special teamer and arguably a decent 3rd-4th DE in a rotation set.  A big reason we had so much success the previous handful of seasons was because we had Hansen and Kongbo as effective subs behind the Jeffs.  

    Although outside of him, the global program is more or less a failure.  It's basically just eliminated the jobs of Canadian punters and turned them into Aussie spots.

    Zach suspended for the first game is perfect. Now his complete collapse at the end of the season will be delayed by one week! That means he'll dominate the Grey Cup and then crumble at the parade. He'll cut his thumb shotgunning beers, fumble the cup, fall off the back of the truck.

    This is exactly how I see it too.  

    Although we can always use LBers for teams, we drafted 3 more Canadians when we already know we likely aren't cutting Gauthier and we have Cadwallader as a ST footsoldier and 4 americans for the 2 Mike and Will spots.  We didn't need a Canadian at that spot other than a mid/late round special teams plugger and we used up our top 2 slots for them.  Although they could both become starters, neither will be right away and the path to how they become starters is unclear.  

    The QB pick is wild and hard to get a read on.  We also have 3 American QBs that we will for sure roster and at least 2 more fighting for the third string/PR depth QB spot so its tough to see where a raw Canadian guy could fit with that group...

    The rest are low upside ST plugs/depth OL/depth pieces at DL and Receiver.  Nothing to wow you about, but like you mentioned, I don't see more than 1 maybe 2 potential good "starting" calibre upside guy and we could've used a couple of higher risk higher reward types to replenish the Demski/Olivera/Fords (gone) of the roster.

    Over all I give our draft value a B+, with a good chunk of guys who could be on the roster. The fit I give a WTF. This draft had a bunch of guys who will likely be starters for years in this league and likely a couple all stars. Outside of our top 2 picks, very little chance we have any of that. 
     We basically reverted to the thing from a few years ago where we draft all the special teams guys with a good floor and little ceiling. It got us into trouble previously, leaving us with weak starting Canadians. We’ve continued to lose starting Canadians this off season and not replaced their potential. It’s a calculated risk, guess we will see how it pans out. 
     
    We drafted two ratio breaking lbers in Shay and smith who can both play, but we didn’t need to fix our lb core. They have tons of upside and a very good chance to fulfill. We could platoon them or start one this year imo. One should be a starter by next year. In our system it makes a lot of sense to flip a lber to ni and use the imp on either line. 

     We drafted a qb, lol, who does have upside and arm talent, but it’s gonna be tough for him to go from playing usports Ds to pro Ds. 
    Novak is a sequel to cadwallader Gauthier etc. teams guy very little upside. 

     Vibert is a high floor low ceiling ol that fits well this year but idk if he is starter material.  

    Corcoran, acceptable size, good polish great work ethic solid teams guy. 

     Ball while his dad sucks, is a strong value grab. Good enough athlete with a teams inclination. This pick looks worse because the draft had soo many stud db prospects. 
     
    Lang is a low ceiling undersized sub par athlete at book end. Could be teams but likely has to add weight to be useful on D. We basically drafted another gowanlok. 
     
    Finally we drafted an injured raw lotto ticket in Uwubanmwen.

    We picked a small, slow receiver.  But don't worry, he can't jump either.
