I guess they wanted to have someone in a kongbo style more than Thomas.

26 years old... 7 years of post secondary.... Hmmm. 

Guess they really wanted an edge guy.

For a dlineman....I can understand  😀

Did we get confused and think Mason Bennett re-entered the draft?

Walters right now: "Damn autocorrect!"

After losing Ford after one year it's refreshing that this guy is already 26 years old.

Bombers will have to guard him at IG Field.  Dobie will be trying to recruit.

It will be cool to see his name on the RoH in  3 years 

Not going to lie I'm scratching my head at that pick

Fwiw....

Looking forward to hearing from Walters after the draft to find out what the thinking was behind the pick.

It must have been just having a need for defensive end depth.  Our ends aren't getting any younger so you might need to give them more breaks ect.  We suffered big time in the Grey Cup after Jeffcoat got injured and we had to move Sayles to defensive end.  Not the pick I would have made but oddly they seem to have gone with a specific need instead of best man available .

He might be our oldest DE 

With that size, Bennet will have to be very quick and fast.

We've drafted a 35 year old punter today and 26 year old densive end.  They'll be joining a rookie class featuring a 19 year old receiver.

Do not love the age or size.

Mason Bennett is 25 

Marshall Ferguson "this is the perfect player for this team"

Great analysis.

It's all on MOS! Over and over..special team's!😉

Don't worry.  Most of the Rider fans came on board in 2007.  They don't know who Al Ford is.

 

 

 

 

I don’t remember Al Ford being talked about in high esteem. 
 

If you are standing out as exceptionally bad in Gapper history - you’re epically bad 

The secret is 5 extra years of training on all the 21-22 year olds in the combine.
