September 20, 20177 yr comment_292361 What has Lalama done to warrant a mention in the top two rounds?

September 20, 20177 yr comment_292393 I agree, Singleton first overall is a no brainer... but other than that I think it's hard to analyze drafts until at least 3 or 4 years has passed....

September 20, 20177 yr comment_292432 The issue with Loffler is that his body won't hold up long term.
September 20, 20177 yr comment_292473 So if now that Corney is presumably getting more opportunities and he shows well do we have to re-do the re-draft?

So, the answer may be to find another NI safety (possibly Jones) to spell him off. When Loffler is on his game, he is a game-changer.

Grozman 2nd round Couture, Lalama, Jamieson, George Johnson, Gagnon, Brescasin, Sackey, Gauthier Abdesmad and Bouka will change this... but for now... Tevaun Smith could also be a factor eventually. You also left out Anthony Thompson who has started games for the Lions and played relatively well. If Lalama makes it, then surely you must include Frank Renaud, Kevin Jackson, Mike Kashak, Felix Faubert-Lussier, Declan Cross and Pierre-Luc Caron. Maybe that can be your 3rd round. Jamal Campbell and Dillon Guy are two OL who haven't really played much but still have as much or more potential than Mike Couture. And that's not a shot at Couture. Good list though. Lots of guys from the 2016 draft having an impact. It was a little weak at the top end but lots of depth throughout.

That makes the nut-punch even more agonizing and long-lasting.

If I recall he was a late add due to obtaining eligibility... and we had already used our first rounder on Wagonner... Unless you think we should've traded up to get him?

Misworded maybe... or was implying we shoulda known before using it on Waggonner.. but I think you are correct in that he just was added before the cutdown.. if we had known he was avail in the first round, I imagine we would have made a shot at nabbing him.. but where was our pick in that draft? we would have needed a top 5-6 I believe.

I looked it up... Singelton went #6 to Calgary and we selected Corney and Couture at #9 and #10...

The funny thing was that Singleton probably would have gone first overall to Saskatchewan but a rumour came out before the draft that we was still pursuing the NFL. Then after Sask made their pick, it was made known that Singleton was not pursuing the NFL and would be coming to the CFL.
