    Allow me to re-phrase my earlier post for the pedantic newcomer... The Winnipeg Bombers have now signed all of their 2017 draft picks with the exception of Geoff Gray.  Gray is currently under co

could be worse, could be a guy that never played at all.

Yeah took a glance at the misses in the first round over the past 5 years and the size of that pool is freaking massive. Too bad i liked what he brought on teams and would have liked to see what he could do in reps.

 

That arm, wow. Gets rid of the ball quickly too, and a good athlete. Hes like an athletic MBT, but young enough to be a reasonable developmental guy.

Mesa community college seems to be his largest sample size post hs.

Shame about Waggoner,  had high hopes for him to step into a more important role soon. Must be a solid real world deal to get him to step away from the game.. unless the lustre of football has faded for him..

He probably wasn't getting the results he'd hoped for when he came to the CFL and didn't want to continue on that path.  League wide I don't think there is an opportunity for him to start on any team.

Waggoner definitely wasn't a bust, as he contributed a ton to ST.....that's a real shame he retired. Man oh man...I wonder what happened. 

To say he was a bust doesn't mean he was totally useless... to draft a guy in the first round who looks like he could be a starter... and he ends up being a good special teamer for only two years.... that's a bust... sure, had some nice contributions, but the bar is set higher for first round picks... 

Not going to bother dwelling on it... but I wonder if that would've changed the team's mind on (one of the) Herdman(s) in the 5th or 6th round knowing we were losing Waggoner...

Waggoner is a mediocre player and is no big loss. How bad of a selection that was has really gone under the radar around here.

yes we missed out on the likes of phillipe gagnon. Brandon revenberg, brian jones, and charles vaillancourt.

The way walters talked about our board afterwards, we would have just taken corney or couture in that range any how.
