April 4, 20178 yr comment_257013 http://www.cfl.ca/2017/04/03/mock-2-0-ankou-senior-jump-charts/ another mock draft. Interesting, and far closer to reality then the other one. Though I dont think things will go that straight forward in the top 5. some one allways gets crazy and some one falls. Id rather behar at 6 then boateng as well.

We are going to see the mock drafts drastically change after the April rankings come out close to reality? like i said i dont think any mock is ever close in the cfl. Especially with a few good OL prospects. I do think its a good representation of the talent, and the teams priorities over all at this point in time. But I also dont see any chance we take all linemen LOL.

Id rather behar at 6 then boateng as well. reading his description of Nate Behar leads me to believe he's a guy that is high on the Bombers radar... "...was sure to impress in interviews with his IQ and conversationalist nature. The guy just loves football. Dave Dickenson surrounds his room with men who are passionate about the cause." sounds like a Mike O'Shea guy to me... Also, if a guy like Junior Luke is still potentially available at 15, going WR at 6 makes a lot of sense... Edited April 4, 20178 yr by bearpants
April 4, 20178 yr Author comment_257043 Pretty well thought out draft... I like Ferguson's articles. Good argument for Gray at first overall. I still think Buono picks Vandervoort Don't see the Boateng pick if Ekakitie, Mulumba and Behar are still on the board. If Herdman's still there at 15, I think he's a bomber.
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257046 Boateng is one guy I can't see the Bombers being that interested in with their first 3 picks. I mean if they look at him as a developmental guy maybe but I think this regime is far more willing to draft guys who can contribute sooner than later while developing, especially with high picks. I also think the DB's get picked much higher. Could see Wright and Woodson both gone in the first round.
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257047 On Gray... You might say that’s a risky proposition, but imagine not taking the Manitoba product and watching him flourish for 15 years in Rider green. It's so true. The rationale to take Gray at number 1 is as much about not getting burnt by him playing for someone else, especially the Riders. If Walters picks Gray and he plays in the NFL for 5+ years, how would you feel? Gray is probably the number one lineman in the draft.

With Gore just about ready to hang them up they have Iannuzzi and then a bunch of ?'s at NI receiver. definitely a team with a need for ni depth there, which leads me to believe we might pick a receiver sooner then people think
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257050 Can't see us taking Boating. Gray as a futures pick and then Beher/Luke/Mulumba at #6 makes more sense.
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257051 We should know how much NFL interest in Gray there is before the draft....IF there seems to be a lot then Gray will have to be a latter round pick...I doubt that Jones will take Gray at 2 for the same reason....We know he's probably the best option in this draft but I think the uni-cycling guy heads south for quite awhile judging by the impression he left with the NFL scouts
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257054 Whether Gray gets drafted (NFL) or not is up in the air but I can almost guarantee he receives a contract as a priority FA if not. No team is using the first overall pick on a guy with an NFL contract in hand.

Also, if a guy like Junior Luke is still potentially available at 15, going WR at 6 makes a lot of sense... thats for sure. hes confident but in that healthy i want the ball cus i can make the play type. Driven, hard working football guy with really good athletic ability. 1 hour ago, Floyd said: Pretty well thought out draft... I like Ferguson's articles. Good argument for Gray at first overall.

If buono picks vandervoort expect him to turn to gold. Gray is gonna be heavily dependent on nfl interest. I don think the bombers will put any emphasis on drafting bisons, as they havent to date. they go with their guys and best on the board it seems. Herdman does seem to be the mos type too. if hes there at 15th or our next pic for sure.

And if Gray does get NFL interest, I bet he drops to at least 6th. Bombers don't need to use their number one pick on him, I don't think.

And with his athletic ability and size its hard to imagine him not getting a lot of interest.

I wonder how the depth is at guard and tackle this year? Edited April 4, 20178 yr by JCon
April 4, 20178 yr comment_257065 It's really hard to imagine the Bombers not going OL at 1 (Woods/Bladek) DL at 6 (Luke /Ekakitie) and then Receiver at 15 (Behar/Carter)

April 4, 20178 yr Author comment_257067 Interesting draft this year... After NFL interest is known, first three OL off the board could really be Bladek, Spooner, Schram Can see Woods dropping maybe to 8-9th
