He can be molded into a rb/wr super sub who also does short yardage duty, and can run a package like streveler if you want. I don’t see near enough incentive to flip the qb ratio, and I don’t see the upside or polish in the rest of the QBs that is any thing you can’t easily find in imp rookie free agent QBs at all times. none cheat answer, if I had to take one qb as a qb it’d be elgersma. I think he has better mobility (especially after the acl for rourke) better size, and more arm talent. 5 minutes ago, Mike said: Tachinski as a converted receiver I like him as well as a project guy, especially since he’s been in our camp before and is extremely familiar with the organization.

Then you go BPA. the first pick needs to be a potential starter within a year, if that's an ol great, but the first pick shouldn't be just a positional need , If a db pick is more likely to be that starter then we should go there.
April 28Apr 28 comment_749633 take best player available first pick....load the lines with remaining.....and make it work with the guys going to camp....and pick team same way...best player per position available and make it work with the way you structure ratio/depth....done 10 hours ago, Pete said: the first pick needs to be a potential starter within a year, if that's an ol great, but the first pick shouldn't be just a positional need , If a db pick is more likely to be that starter then we should go there. yup....best guy on board who can actually take reps now as a legit back-up or who can actually push to start or be projected as a starter.....as any pro athlete save for an big ol fatty lineman can play most teams with good coaching
April 28Apr 28 comment_749634 Honestly, any of our top 4 picks in this draft could be starters and should be excellent picks. Idc so much where we extra futures or where we grab immediate production, as long as we make good picks and im sure we will in the top half. Avoid rb qb lber in the top half and it’ll be hard to miss.
April 28Apr 28 comment_749640 19 hours ago, Goalie said: Who is the shedeur of the cfl draft. In other words a guy who been hyped who isn’t that great and will drop. There's a couple NCAA receivers and DL who have been hyped as first or second rounders that I could see dropping pretty far. The receiver and DL classes are really deep. For that reason I could see an early run on OL (much shallower group) even if their ability isn't quite up to snuff.

More of a high floor guy imo. Peterson is a solid small but thick athletic back. I guess we wanted a guy like that but didn’t want to use a pick this year that could feed a need better. don’t love giving up on Sampson.

April 29Apr 29 comment_749674 From https://3downnation.com/2025/04/28/top-10-position-players-in-the-2025-cfl-global-draft/ EDGE Kemari Munier-Bailey, Weber State University (England) HT: 6024 | WT: 230 | HND: 90 | ARM: 323 | WNG: 781 BP: 20 | VJ: 33 | BJ: 9030 | 10YD: 1.62 | 40YD: 4.70 | 3C: 757 | SS: 4.69 A former member of the Great Britain junior national basketball team, Munier-Bailey had stints at Idaho and Fresno State before earning third-team FCS All-American honours in his final season with the Wildcats. He’s a classic CFL tweener on the outside with a good first step and active hands as a speed rusher, though he can be late to bend the edge and gets run past the QB at times. Despite a similar frame and athletic profile to Jibunor, he isn’t quite as strong at the point of attack and can get moved off his spot in the run game, but is fast enough to be able to track down ball carriers in space once they bounce outside. That makes him one of the better special teams projections available in addition to his situational defensive value

He had 22 punts of more than 50 yards, with a long of 70. His career average of 43.9 yards is also a school record, better than Alan Sutkowski’s 42.5-yard average from 1995-97."

We also have Gowanlok at edge. Can't fit them all in the active roster. It's interesting to see that they are very interested in Bailey which I feel what prompted this trade. We have a better DL rotation when we have Hansen 2-3 years ago. Hope this is the intention here. Edited April 29Apr 29 by M.O.A.B.

I do agree with your DL rotation point and agree that I hope this is the intent.

April 29Apr 29 comment_749686 I honestly completely forgot who Samson was and that he was a 2nd round pick last year.

Golden Bears, good enough to win CanWest football player of the year in 2023. This is Brady's new backup, if he takes him under his wing, good things could happen.
April 29Apr 29 comment_749692 Hopefully they know that Bailey is looking to play in Canada. His resume would look fine as an American player. Lots of production, good testing numbers. Hopefully he can be a rotational piece off the edge. We've really missed having a nice rotation on the edge the past couple years.
