Any word on the supplemental draft? Would be good year for that

I'll say it again. Have to keep Frolik - never injured, can play either wing, check, pk, score... When Wheeler and Perrault are back, I'd rather see Stafford on the third line... wait and see I guess

Nice move

The mind bottling joke has come up before?

Wonder if Ottawa would consider trading a DL prospect for a pick? They're loaded with nationals

Lulay's shoulder must be healed up.

I think it's more a case of two GMs trying to outsmart themselves trying to target the guy they think might be the deal and upping the price of him but when the dust settles the better guy doesn't cost a hell of a lot more. Which is mind bottling, don't you think? Opposite of all known FA battles for a top notch player that I can think of.. I fully expected 200k+ and am still baffled how he came in under that.... Significantly so.. Boggling.

A 3rd round pick is not 'selling the farm'... good trade for Minnesota - wish we could have pulled it off

Burmi is a former Atlanta first rounder. That's equivalent of a second round pick.

Dan West.

He believed in taking players with physical tools and then turning them over to the coaches to turn them into players. It's not the worst strategy... unless you can't hire a good coach. Enough with the ridiculous 'worst coach' thing... physical tools pfft. Pencer was an OT with bum shoulders, Etienne was a receiver coming off a broken back, Robertson was a 5'6 DB and Fitzgerald was the slowest guy in the draft Stephan and Swiston were recovering from a major injuries and seem like they never really did You saying that either Lapo or Burke were good coaches? Pencer was a big strong OL who could move pretty well, Etienne was a tall player with decent speed and had a decent year with little time spent as a WR, Robertson was short but I believe his testing numbers were quite good, Fitzgerald might have been slow but he was a big strong player. Lot of raw abilities there that were expected to be developed. It didn't happen for a variety of reasons. I just find that people are really too hard on Joe Mack for a lot of things. It's almost like it's personal and they will intentionally make things sound worse than they really were. We'll never know - both were under-staffed. We have something like three more asst coaches now...? I think Lapo still has potential, Burke just gave up... shortly after the Cauchy Muamba signing.

He hires great coaches. Maybe that was Mack's mistake, not assuming Head Coaching duties as well.

I'd be totally fine with Nik Lewis in Blue and Gold... as a full back.

Kind of a moot point considering we've played with a 3 import line quite a bit in the last two years Anyway, Walters pumped his tires as a proven offensive tackle and then we never really tried him there

The Etienne pick isn't even in Mack's Top Three worst picks anymore...

I projected him to start at RG, but he'll have to battle Goossen for that spot. What I mean is that he's actually played RT in Sask and when he came in, it seemed like he was a 'ratio changer' we had been looking for...

Three NI receivers would be setting Willy up to fail... Kohlert, JFG and a prospect are enough to fill one receiver position Its interesting that there just seems to be no talk about Neufeld at RT at all.

The also won the bidding war for Gord Hinse.

Lamar and Bass both have prototypical CFL MLB size... so that's start... What's really exciting about Bass is that he appears to have grown three inches since his pro-day. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=90582&draftyear=2013&genpos=ILB

Chris Thompson and Rod Williams sign with Alouettes. Tisdale, Brown, Parker, Hebert... That was already an ancient secondary.

Etienne was a terrible pick but he wouldn't have dropped to fourth round Taman had napkins, kelly had the database and Mack had Mai tais

David Thomson - Canada's richard Branson

Was just going to say our power play was awful and no one in position

Not sure that the draft will clear much up... if we pick a receiver at #2, then we're probably going with two NI REC If not, the draft is deep with OL, none of which will be starting at tackle this year. And really only one CFL ready DL who is getting looks from the NFL... maybe Tennant can rotate with Thomas but that's a big maybe. 3 OL, Kohlert and Bucknor are pretty much set... other two positions will be question marks
