May 1, 20196 yr comment_388980 And just for fun, even though I've paid like zero attention to the lead-up to tomorrow ... Toronto picks Desjarlais, Hamilton picks McInnis, Edmonton picks Betts, Winnipeg picks Wilkinson and Kongbo and then after that I don't really care. That'd be my prediction/hope.
May 1, 20196 yr comment_388995 Betts/Kongbo/Desjarlais/Wilkinson any of these 4 at number 4, but would like to see Lenius-Dickey is at six-foot-five and 243 pounds. I know CDN receiver isn’t a need, but this guy could be Harris’ Mike Sellers. A nice all purpose mulitool type of player. Lapo likes those type of weapons. The guy is a beast on ST, can play FB, TE and WR Edited May 1, 20196 yr by Dirty30

Gotcha. No, I'm saying fans know the backups names and think the new starters will play almost as well as the all-stars they are replacing because they believe the stories being put out by the Bombers media folks. Folks around the league, who don't follow the Bombers as closely know that the backups would still be backups if we hadn't lost 2 all star NI OL. Being on the Bombers for a few years doesn't equal being ready to start. Being a first round draft pick doesn't mean being good enough to start in your first season. Being on the team for a couple of games last year doesn't mean knowing the system and it doesn't make you a non-rookie. There are lots of examples of players who were with the team for years and never did anything. Lots of examples of first round draft picks who turned out to be busts. Sounds like Jones is already inked in at safety. Big gamble for a guy whose never been a starter and who is coming off of a season ending injury last year. Edited May 1, 20196 yr by TBURGESS

Doesn't mean that just because they're backups they are useless either. I mean I don't know anyone expects the exact same level of play... however replacing guys internally with players you have groomed is an easier transition, and in the case of gray that's a high potential player. So best case scenario for replacing people. They always have the option of changing the ratio as well. Lots of people fretted over the loss of Bond last year and the line was just fine. That's all people are saying, the pieces are in place to weather the storm of losing 2 guys. As for Jones, there was plenty of talk last year already that he was a threat to take the starting job if not for his injury troubles so I wouldn't worry over much there. Everyone here laughed at Loffler getting the allstar safety nod anyway.

The guy is a beast on ST, can play FB, TE and WR Watch the ST one on ones from the Combine and inside blocking drills. Lenius-Dickey won't be Mike Sellers. He'll be Aaron Hargreaves if he has a good career. I think the Bombers might go for Julien-Grant, kind of a Cory Watson type, but more athletic.
May 2, 20196 yr comment_389046 we go o-line/dline I believe in our first 2 picks, I would like Kongbo over Betts personally and i can see us with 3rd pick going best player available who is a DB type player if any of value are left, if not then its the best Reciever /RB available

If we keep the 2 1st round picks, I think we'll go OL and DL and Kyle would probably like "futures" here. So definitely either Kongbo or Betts and any OL with a mini-camp invites like - Desjarlais or Fontana. I still feel that we trade #5 overall.
May 2, 20196 yr comment_389057 Kabongo absolutely should be one of the picks. I don’t know why so many mocks have him falling so far. ACL injuries aren’t what they used to be and by all accounts he’s recovering nicely. The guy is an absolute monster and it’s not often guys with his pedigree slip through the NFL draft and the UDFA market.
May 2, 20196 yr comment_389058 HE absolutely is who i would grab with 5 or 4 pick...he won't be there with our 3rd pick and can totally see him being..or eclipsing what Boakeng has done in Edmonton

He’s the best Canadian DL prospect to come around in years and there is no NFL risk. It’s a no brainer.
May 2, 20196 yr comment_389091 If Betts is still on the board @ #4 ... Will you trade #4 to Als for their 2 second rounders? They have 3 in 2nd round but can't trade the one for territorial pick. Edited May 2, 20196 yr by M.O.A.B.

May 2, 20196 yr comment_389126 Bold move by the Argos in a draft with about 4 high-end OL, and ones from the OUA. I’ve heard that Richards has weighed more than 400 lbs in the recent past. High bust potential (as a football player, not commenting on manzier size). I thought they’d go for Desjarlais or Gibbon. Gibbon in particular is the type of OL Popp used to pick all the time, real athlete that just needs a bit of technical work. Hoping one of those two fall to 4.
