Probably targeting DL in the draft then eh?

This was absolutely my first thought...

There's tons of DL in this one.  I don't believe they'll take one in the first couple rounds unless Newell drops to 6.  But there's tons of guys that will be CFL players, both Nose and 3 technique/end tweener types.

We have lots of Nat DTs on the roster though. Lawson, Schmekel, Kornelson and old Thomas. 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.

That’s a lot of quantity, not much quality.  1 guy who belongs on a cfl ar.

But Thomas and scmeckke have shown they are not legit...kornelson won't amount to anything and I bet he doesn't make it out of camp...Gowanluk possible good teams guy...outside of Lawson...Samson was the only national DT with possible upside...maybe a indicator we have a draft target at DT

They are listening to me and gonna go all American DL eventually. Lawson could get a couple picks I’m sure. Coming off injury might be a time to move on if he’s not the same.

more like O'Shea didn't want to make a roster decision between Thomas Smeckle and Samson. Not unexpected we go with the old guard

I would like the Bombers to keep Samson too but this regime value vet experience to a fault. It's obvious that Ticars is not interested in our other National DLs to agree on the trade.

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.

This has to be it, right?… they have to know he wants to play in Canada and that he’s a legit rotational piece… otherwise this doesn’t make any sense… his tweener size concerns me slightly

He's about the same size as Jay Person, it would be great to add a couple of speed rushers to compliment Vaughters and distract attention away from Willie.

Start of the cfl draft coverage first thing Farhan says is the former 6th pick in ford, and the rest of us have never been near a draft board… Lapo is at the table /facepalm 

Barker is the Mel kiper JR. 

Farhan gets a boner when the name rourke is mentioned 

lapo seems to know his **** 

ford appears to be aging rapidly.

This is all very true.

That’s a hell of a lot of snaps for globals 

So who is the first team to make a WTF pick? 

The stamps are the least deserving team ever to get a bunch of high picks

Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky bobby! 
 

lol for real though. I think it’ll be ssk, edm, or us. 
 For us I think we might reach but will likely get good talent atleast  

Woah stamps go Alford. Love that kid and his talent. Surprised but not by any means a bad pick.

Was Sheehan a 1st rd global pick? The fact they took a decent global punter suggests maybe he’s not safe. That Evans kid ain’t bad. Plus he’s a New Zealander and Sheehan is Aussie. Pretty natural rivalry 

I’m upset barker isn’t taking away from Alfords moment. Mel kiper jr he is not.

Watch Ted draft all the u of m guys since he took all our free agents lol 

Alford's a mildly risky pick in terms of having him in camp this year.

Perhaps should be it’s own topic. 

John Hodge mock is dead already

Yeah I think he misses camp but likely will be up here this year. I view that as a next year pick.
