January 31, 20178 yr comment_246058 Good article about Canucks in the Senior Bowl: http://3downnation.com/2017/01/31/scouts-saying-cfl-prospects-senior-bowl/ Nice hit by Herdman in the video clip. Could he step into Hurl's shoes?
January 31, 20178 yr comment_246060 I would be pretty happy if the Bombers left the draft with both Herdman and Gray. But then there's that huge hole we have at National receiver...
January 31, 20178 yr comment_246108 I'd rather Gray and a receiver out of our first two picks. Herdman really thinks he's gonna make the NFL. We need players out of those picks, not guys to wait on. Gray is an engineer too, so might not be into football for the long haul.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_246123 Herdman is a smart cookie too. He apparently has a 3.99 GPA and could go into med school. He's indicated that he wants to give pro football a try.

If we're getting a great player I don't mind waiting for a year or two. I don't really see the benefit of taking a lesser player who will come in and play special teams and maybe rotate in on offence/defence for a few snaps. We already have plenty of guys like that. I think the team is in a good enough position now that we can afford to wait on a star rather than intentionally taking a worse player just to have them in the lineup right away.

I think the team is in a good enough position now that we can afford to wait on a star rather than intentionally taking a worse player just to have them in the lineup right away. I'm not advocating that at all. There's a handful of guys among a group of really good players who are really chasing the NFL or have legit NFL interest. That has to factor into decision making when deciding who to pick. As a for instance, based on what I've seen I wouldn't single Senior out of the top group of OL as being more dominant, but he has pedigree and a legit NFL shot. In the CFL it's very likely Grey is a better player when all is said and done.

In the CFL it's very likely Grey is a better player when all is said and done. I see. Certainly I wouldn't want to use a top pick on a guy who has been drafted or signed an FA deal. But Grey will almost definitely get a mini-camp invite and we've seen that that can turn into an NFL deal (rarely, but possible). I'd still use a top pick on him for sure. I put Herdman in that same category.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_246262 Is Herdman a middle linebacker or outside?... that might be the sealer for me... if he can play MLB, might be worth the risk to find a ratio changer there...
February 1, 20178 yr comment_246274 Jordan, who we've been talking about is a MLB. He has a twin brother Justin, who is an Outside Linebacker and is also apparently pretty good. They are from Winnipeg and are James Reed's sons. Edited February 1, 20178 yr by Dr. Blue
February 1, 20178 yr comment_246337 has the cfl updated their top 10 list for this years draft as of yet, or is that after the combine

February 1, 20178 yr comment_246346 I'd reckon the next project for the league is getting the damn schedule out. That's usually around this time of year...
February 1, 20178 yr comment_246354 i bet the schedule is out between feb 13-17, that week seems that has been the date the last few years
February 2, 20178 yr comment_246384 Holy crap it's February, FA and three months to TC! Where did the time go?
