Posted August 31, 20186 yr comment_351961 https://www.cfl.ca/2018/08/30/kongbo-tops-first-scouting-bureau-rankings-2019/ I don't follow CIS enough to know but some interesting names from reading the article.
August 31, 20186 yr comment_351970 Maleek Irons and Kurleigh Gittens Jr. are definitely the most interesting sounding names - lets pick them
August 31, 20186 yr comment_351971 Be nice to draft Brady Oliveira if he tests okay at the combine. Looks like he's going to put up good numbers this year at UND. All Oak Park backfield!Â
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362283 Top ranked prospect Johnathan Kongbo torn his ACL this weekend was a starting DT with the Tennessee Vols

If recovered 100% or close, he would be worth a higher draft pick. Jake the Snake ain't gonna be around forever.
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362398 Seeing as we have 2 firsts..I'd take him with one if he still there after we take the best player available regardless of position with our first one..feel we are in a position to do so...even more so if we sign chungh and Goosen..which I doubt even get to free agency. Â Â
October 16, 20186 yr Author comment_362402 Kongbo and an OL or another defensive player works for me.
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362403 I'd look for a dlineman or linebacker/db We have too many canadians now even with depth Neufeld..Gray..CHinhg..Goosen..Spooner..Speller ..Couture..and that big French kid who went back to school..
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362405 What about trading a first rounder this year for one next and something later in the draft?Â

When someone's ready to complain after a 31-0 win, I just want everyone to think of this line.... and remember the Mack years....

I think that when talking about O linemen specifically, you do have a max number that you can effectively roster. Depending on who we re-sign before the draft, looking at yet more Oline guys might not be a good plan.
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362425 Yes..I meant too many Canadian olineman..why draft more when u already have 3..4..in reserve you cant even roster.. wasted picks if you ask me
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362431 If I'm Walters I focus more with the DL. We are thin on Canadians there.
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362548 Can never have too many quality Canadian offensive linemen. We still start two imports on the line. If nothing else, they can be traded for pretty much anything short of a franchise QB.

Actually, if you have a glut of O linemen and everybody knows it, they'll also know that you can't keep them all forever. Kinda reduces their value.
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362561 We have a glut right now..say we resign them all..Thats Neuf..Chungh..Goosen..Gray..Spooner..Speller..Couture..French dude.(thats 8)..we start 3..have one on roster as a 6th..and you prob want 2 on PR/IRÂ So of that 8 we technically need 6 readily available...drafting another 1 or 2 again would be a waste and very redundant as we have 2 extra as it is where really we have no room to stash and hold basically no trade value as they are not gonna start anywhere and if a team really wants one..they know we would be cutting a couple anyway. We can go a year..possibly 2 without drafting a o-lineman and should be focusing on defense guys if you ask me...load up on d-line/lb types...that or more depth, or guys that can push our national receivers...thats the smart move in immediate future

October 17, 20186 yr comment_362577 Wouldn't we focus on RB/RECEIVER/DLINE almost in that order this time around given our current teams philosophy of managing Canadian talent?Â
October 18, 20186 yr comment_362601 A lot can change between now and the draft. Our needs could change by a lot
October 18, 20186 yr comment_362647 I think you have to aim for skill players in this draft and I think you need to look towards the idea of making a move on a future guy (a la Geoff Gray) with one of those firsts. This draft, from what I've heard, is pretty loaded. I'd look to take a linebacker or d-lineman, and a receiver. Maybe a safety if there is one, since I think Loffler may be a question mark going forward for us. Then again, I'd love to see us transition to an American safety if he leaves. Dejon Brissett seems like the kind of guy O'Shea and Walters would be all over ... can play all over the field, on offence and special teams, honour roll student at Richmond ... big bodied receiver. Maybe you grab a guy like that or Oliviera with the BC pick and aim for a guy like Kongbo with our pick later on. Â

October 18, 20186 yr comment_362676 Apparently Brissett will be in the 2020 draft.  Applying for a medical redshirt. In my opinion you don’t draft for position, you draft guys that can play and build depth.  Then you figure out your 7 from a position of strength and have flexibility.  Ideally you have a Canadian or two who can play every position that counts, obviously not looking for QBs.
October 25, 20186 yr comment_363774 Kongbo's year done with ACL/MCL... Â could mean he's CFL bound for a couple years to showcase his talent... Â

And - we may be able to start a Canadian OT in the future.Â
