March 2, 20178 yr comment_252615 This quite the problem indeed. Josiah St. John - plays for the Riders Philip Gagnon - plays for the Allouettes Brandon Revenberg - plays for the Ticats Brian Jones - plays for the Argos Charles Vaillancourt - plays for the Lions Alex Singleton - plays for the Stamps Jason Lauzon-Seguin - plays for the redblacks Tevaun Smith - drafted by Edmonton, signed by the Colts, cut and moved to PR, since released and re-signed with Colts to a futures contract Trent Corney - plays for the Bombers Micheal Couture - plays for the Bombers Wayne Moore - plays for the Allouettes Anthony Thompson - plays for the Lions DJ Sackey - plays for the Argos Mercer Timmis - plays for the Ticats Juwan Brescacin - plays for the Stamps Mikael Charland - plays for the redblacks Arjen Colquhoun - drafted by Edmonton, signed by Cowboys, injured and released. Not sure where he is. Best guess is he'll re-sign with Dallas for another crack when healthy. So that's all the picks in the first two rounds. Every player is playing for the CFL team that drafted them except Edmonton's two picks. Tevaun Smith has been released two or three times already by the Colts. What will the wait on him be? One more year? I know the Andy Mulamba situation has scarred some people, but this isn't the huge problem you are making it out to be.

But i think it would be used soo seldom it wouldnt be of much impact. At a quick glance the bombers that would be eligible would be bryant, denmark, dressler, medlock and randle. Some how denmark still wouldnt get any love. medlock would go up in desirability but not pay. dressler and bryant would make bank of it. I could see it extending the career of mid tier kicker/punters, making wrs and ol a good chunk more money and extending careers as long as bodies held up. I didnt include qbs cus ratio. If they did some thing like that id want to see the ratio go up to either 8 starters or more bench. But id also like to see more reward for 8 starting NI. That would be nice... starting 9 Canadians Bryant - Bond - Goossen - Chungh - HardrickDenmark - Smith - Dressler - Stafford - Adams NicholsHarris - Normand Westerman - Nevis - Scott - Okpalaungo Leggett - Knox - WildRandle - Heath - Loffler - Johnson - Frederick *Note*: yes I realize every player may not be in the right spot... this was merely a position by position reflection...

Your missing the point ....teams are targeting is this player going to stick in the NFL ?and drafting based on that assumption. To the point that players drop down in the draft if their is a concern. Pointing out after the fact doesn't help the teams at the draft. There is more and more Cdns sticking in the NFL....and how do we compete as a league is the reality.

If that was the case idk what we would do with the draft picks. Could we just use them to fill up a big tower and swim in them scrooge mcduck style?
March 2, 20178 yr comment_252711 Just seems ridiculous that because Foucault never played a down in the CFL... Montreal still owns his rights now that he's a vet But Muamba plays a couple years with the Bombers then chases his NFL dream and comes back a UFA. Really like the permanent resident idea... you'd see lots of vets doing it though as a way to extend their careers...

Disagree it is a problem ... they will sign if they want to play (before main camp) and there is not that much wiggle room for the draftees any way

It was brought up before on here, when you develop a guy and he goes to the nfl then comes back a FA you should get some sort of compensation from the team that picks him up. After a while the draft rights are just like neg rights. Lots of vets down south have their cfl rights owned the same was as foucault. They spent the pick so it doesnt count against the NL. (from what i understand)
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253183 Looks pretty good to me. If the draft shakes out this way, Walters ought to lay back in the afterglow and light up a cigar.

There's a good interview with Boateng at CFL.ca..... seems like an outstanding person, and looks pretty fearsome on the field.
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253186 Though Walter's could really piss off some people here and grab Picton in the second round....I can hear the groans...??
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253191 Wonder what his reasoning for Ankou dropping? Auclair out of the first two rounds too.

Auclair is almost a lock to be in the NFL next year... but I guess Ankou is getting some interest too... I always find it interesting that every CFL mock draft is so different...
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253228 4 hours ago, Jpan85 said: While I don't agree with some of his picks what this does show is the fallout from Simonese getting taken out of the draft. Before that happened one of him and Vandervoort being available for the Bombers at #6 seemed pretty plausible; now it's likely that the Bombers will be lucky enough to draft one of those guys, which we really could use. There seems to be some mock consensus that Hamilton is mock drafting a mock receiver at #4.
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253230 8 minutes ago, Jpan85 said: Vandervoort does not get past Hamiton. Simonese or not. Which is a real shame. I have a sense that the Bombers would have really liked him. Although, that's just a feeling and not based on any information that I have or real knowledge. Any chance the Bombers take him at 1?

I wondered this myself, but I dunno.....taking a REC at #1 is pretty risky, never mind our past history of drafting receivers in the first round :s

The only riskier position might be QB. Draft the best player.
March 6, 20178 yr comment_253255 Vandervoort at #1 would go down as one of the worst picks of all time...
