He has the tools where as Etienne obviously did not- that's poor drafting. Waggonner obviously did not pan out for us but that doesn't make him a bad pick either, with the salaries in the CFL a lot of times the guys could make more money pursuing other careers as much as we don't like it. With Waggoner having jumped the fence, I do wonder if trying to swing a deal for Judge would be a good idea. Waggoner's CV wasn't as good as Judge's and a ratio-buster NI linebacker is always welcome- there has to be another Mike O'Shea out there.

I don't think we need to but i wouldn't be against it if the riders can't get a deal done and Walters can give him a similar contract Waggoner had. I have a feeling Judge is a very similar player to Waggonner and Jones did not take into account he would have to pay a STer 1st rd money. That's why Riderfans is pretty testy these days.

Judge seems to have a higher ceiling, so may be worth pursuing, providing Jones is sane.

See, I told my brain "fetch me the number of that internet maligned Canadian receiver the Bombers drafted in the second round", and my brain came back and said "#15!". Only afterwards did I realize I should have added "and NOT Aaron Hargreaves!". Body is back, but brain is still gone fishing.

When i saw their testing results i can't recall exactly but i believe Waggonner's were slightly better but comparable, i think the fact Judge played for UCLA helps a lot though and his pedigree might be better with better coaching and playing in a better conference.

May 24, 20178 yr comment_264194 Out of curiosity what is the deal with Burton. What does placing him on the suspended list mean? Miss a flight? Passport issues? Why would they do that and not release him?

Umm.. technically Gray is under contract too... just not to us. So, ALL of our DP's are signed to professional contracts. Jones has drafted one player that has a valid contract signed, Auclair. Who has signed with.. the Bucs.

We know the deal with Gray, guys like bigg jay don't need to be corrected on semantics.

May 24, 20178 yr comment_264201 With Burton (for the time being?) out of the running and leading in the race for the Jernigan Award, I am jumping on the TJ Thorpe bandwagon. Santos-Knox, Carmichael and Jeffcoat on D.
May 24, 20178 yr Author comment_264205 I think I'm an early believer in Roc Carmichael. It just SOUNDS like an old-school 1950s CFL name......I'm down with that.
May 24, 20178 yr comment_264206 Interesting. Means nothing but Carmichael listed as LB on depth chart. I think Jeffcoat is a safe bet. I'll go Nick Temple at MLB and we will go with a surprise guy in Porter at dB.
