Hypothetical, Wauld doesn't get an NFL deal and you know he'll report to camp in 2015, Wauld, OL or receiver at #2?

Could he be a TE type player?

A step in the right direction if true.

I'm surprised that none of the OL project to being able to play tackle. I thought Groulx and Ruby did? If Demski or Durant can play right away, I wouldn't be opposed to selecting them at #2, OL at #11 and #15.

eDIT

Filmon had to deal with Pawley's mess and declining transfer payments. Don't forget Chretien took over 20 billion out of the Canada Health and Social Transfer in 94/95. Huge reason, Manitoba and all provinces made cuts back then.

Too many years for me before I can retire. Guess it'll depend on that state of Manitoba versus BC, Alberta etc then.

Oh, I understand the reluctance but am pretty sure a progressive tax rate versus a flat tax alone would eliminate most if not all that deficit. Add in a PST and hey, no cuts.

Couldn't Alberta keep spending and avoid huge cuts if they scraped the flat tax? Added a PST?

Even with their recent problems, Alberta is in better shape than us. We have crumbling infrastructure, a broken down health care system and a lack of private enterprise. Throw in debt levels, an 8% PST, some of the highest tax levels in Canada and bracket creep and its pretty bad. Alberta could add a PST and junk the flat tax and they'd be in better shape.

Selinger or Oswald, essentially dumb and dumber. God help us.

Williams for cheap at a STer would work for me.

Maxx Forde the DE for Idaho? How does he have NI status exactly (I noticed he played at a US high school).

That sucks.

67.8% versus 58.1%. So which one is Crompton and which one Lefevouer:

I like Lefevour better than Crompton. I think he wins the starting job.

So which random Canadian is our new whipping boy?

be fair, he also took Muamba over MItchell and I am sure we can find some other instances. Drafting, especially in the CFL is a crap shoot and everyone loves Kyle Walters but how would we feel about him if he took MItchell over Muamba? Which is something he likely would have done. I'll give you Muamba over Mitchell but that's one of the few. Mack did a poor job of drafting. I could add Carl Volny over Matt Walter in 2011, Johhny Aprile over Billy Peach, Chris Smith over Ryan Bomben.

Why mess with the secondary which was the best part of our D last year. Bucknor at DB with Jones backing him up is better than putting Bucknor or Sherman at safety. For the 2nd spot on D, use Hurl and Briggs at LB with Thomas getting 15-20 reps on the DL.

We are slowly getting better with our NIs but I agree that we don't have 7 solid starters yet and we don't have a stud NI (Cornish, Harris, Laurent, Homes).

1. Drafting Pencer over Shamwawd Chambers or Kirby Fabian. 2. Drafting Jade over Coehorn, Iannuzzi or Holmes. 3. Wasting picks on Kris Robertson and Carl Fitzgerald. Mack was a poor drafter, didn't do a good job bringing in QBs and didn't use free agency effectively. Good recruiter though.

I heard he was going to be a Shreveport Pirate.

Can we change the thread name to Brohm resigns? Oh and dang nabit on Curran.

Come to the Peg, Curran.

The health of Lulay will determine BC's record, big question mark imo, especially with that OL. How healthy is Reily in Edmonton? How does Durant do coming off injury? Has Winnipeg upgraded their OL and defense enough to make another jump forward? Outside of Calgary, there are big question marks about each team.
