Here's what 3DN had on Sanford going into the draft: Quote 15. Brandon Sanford, University of British Columbia (Salmon Arm, B.C.) Sanford’s film is sloppy, but he tested with impressive explosiveness at the Western Regional Combine, finishing second among all linemen in this draft with an eight-foot, seven-and-three-quarter-inch broad jump. That was while tipping the scales at six-foot-four and 336 pounds, so there may be some untapped raw potential yet to be exposed.
May 10, 20223 yr Author comment_564696 well eff me for only half reading the tweet, and Tait had just said he'd be in camp. Christ sakes...wonder what happened there...

A development player on the line with potential upside. If there is a team that can have patience in developing a CDN OL, it's us. Not sure if the scouting noted by 3DN is any good, given that he was not selected in the draft. I would think that a team looking down their list in the 7th round and didn't pick him, must have had him ranked really lowly.

Yeah you have to take anything from 3DN with a grain of salt but he was at the bottom of their list (15th of 15 OL ranked). Ferguson, in his final mock draft, had him as a 7th round pick so being picked up after the draft as a FA doesn't seem too far off.
May 10, 20223 yr comment_564716 Any time a Canadian OL is available at this time of year... I'm skeptical... anyone worth their salt is automatically scooped up by now... but we're one of the few teams that can be patient with an OL prospect... so to me this seems like a no risk, high reward move... I'll take it.
May 13, 20223 yr comment_565073 Sounds like Liam Dobsen was passed over in Chicago Bears mini-camp. The bears signed 6 undrafted free agents from their rookie mini-camp including one offensive lineman but not Dobsen. Assuming nothing has changed he should currently be in Saints mini camp. I would imagine that within 3 days or so we should know if he's been offered a contract.
May 13, 20223 yr Author comment_565081 Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, here's a peek at the new hashmarks vs the old hashmarks.. definitely going to be interesting.
May 13, 20223 yr comment_565084 Two weeks from tonight, the Bombers play at home. Two weeks!! Good thing it's a preseason game. I'm not in regular season shape yet.
May 13, 20223 yr Author comment_565085 10 days till the first (roadie) game of the year in the dirty Reg! Can't ******* WAIT for a game day....

Two weeks from now will the trees have leaves? Will we be wearing layers and drinking hot chocolate to stay warm? What a year for the earliest start to the season ever.

They've invested in Dakota Prukop as the backup. Streveler won't sign for $100,000. He'll want a lot more & probably the chance to compete as a starter. If we couldn't keep players like Harris, Darby, Lawler & Castillo why do you think we can afford Streveler? We all love the guy but financially I don't think it makes sense. Besides, we won the Grey Cup last year without him. He was so important in our GC drive in 19 when LaPo was the OC. Buck does things differently. I mean sure, maybe I'm wrong & you're right. I'd love to see him back here. I just don't think it's doable.

One thing I've learned over the years of watching the CFL IS you should never say never....you know that...I know you said 'doable' and unless you/we have an in on the books, you can't say for sure AND you know 'nobody' gets to see the books

In the CFL an addition usually means a subtraction somewhere else with such a tight salary cap.
May 18, 20223 yr Author comment_565500 Strev will command a pretty penny from any team, with the new rules about a second QB on the field at any time...
