March 30, 20178 yr comment_256325 I guess my point is for a Canadian to get a legit NFL chance as a draft prospect or free agent then all of his individuals have to jump off the sheet of paper it's written on. There are more & more freaks of nature coming out of the NCAA every year as offensive linemen.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256326 Not that it means anything per se, but fwiw, Bauming says the Bombers had a very large contingent on hand today. Not really surprising, I suppose, since it's right here in our back yard, so they may as well be there........but still.....if they figure the kid is CFL bound, I'd be okay with him at #1...
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256327 I'd be very happy if we drafted Vandevoort #1 as we really need to upgrade our Canadian receivers. If we knew Gray was CFL bound then he'd be a great selection as well. However, we really need to get better at receiver first. I think that should be Walters first priority.
March 30, 20178 yr Author comment_256328 The key is to get better wherever we can get the most better.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256332 Gray comparables to all players at same position in the history of CFL combine.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256334 Only problem with Gray is do the Bombers pick him only to lose him to the NFL? Or go with the more sure thing in Vandevoort? We haven't reached the point where we can waste a pick on "futures" yet like the Stamps could.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256335 It won't be cheap to sign two first round picks, not to mention first overall included in that. They may have to use a futures pick with one of them.

Here's what he's done so far & how his numbers compare to other OL at the combines: those are some impressive numbers. Hes a monster at OL. I love new generation OL like that. Even better is the fact that most of the time who ever he is lined up against ends the play looking up at him form their butt. 1a hope for him is a great pro bowl career in the nfl. 1b is a great allstar top NI career with the bombers.

I'm selfish. (1) I'd like him as a Bomber first. Two, then the NFL if he's drafted by someone else.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256339 Gray's numbers are comparable to the top CFL DT prospects... More 'raw' than Senior, maybe he does slip through the NFL cracks If he's there at 6, I think you have to take him - maybe he's next Tyler Holmes

Two first round picks, at least one has to come to camp competing for a spot.

Well, I'm definitely not taking a 500-600 yard per year receiver at #1... Mulumba, Ekakitie, Woods, Bladek are my first overall list... don't let the combine brainwash things too much.
March 30, 20178 yr comment_256345 I know Gray is a Bison, but is he born and raised Manitoba, too? I just assume, but you never know...

How can you just blanket bracket him like that? I'm going by need & our need at Canadian receiver is glaring. Edited March 30, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27

Yes, ultimately he could be... and Mulumba could be a starting MLB, Ekakitie could replace Thomas, Bladek/Woods could replace Bond or Hardrick I just think the benefit of those positions has a much higher ceiling than trying to find a fifth receiver when we already have three potential 1000 yard guys on the roster (Adams, Dressler, Smith)

Adams & Smith had injury issues last year. We had Rory Kohlert playing boundary receiver & to be blunt if he wasn't awful then he was useless. We need to start a Canadian at receiver & our choices are fairly limited. To me, this is the most important position to shore up. More than any other.

There was a guy with a big head when he was drafted. Played games with Hamilton for nearly 2 seasons. Is Plesius even starting for the Ti Cats? Edited March 30, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27

I agree to an extent... but I would fill that with one of Augustine, Carter, Picton, Gosselin with our 2nd or 3rd round pick
