April 29Apr 29 comment_749814 A former walk-on who developed into a 100-tackle starter for the Mean Green, Smith is not quite fluid enough to play SAM but well-suited to play weak-side linebacker in the CFL after excelling over the slot in college. Even if the five-foot-11, 224-pounder never finds the consistency needed to become a starter, his history as an elite collegiate special teams player makes him one of the safest projections in the draft.
April 29Apr 29 comment_749815 Just based on what everyone is saying, this seems like a bad reach... Yikes.
April 29Apr 29 comment_749816 Hmmm. So.... Tony Jones (Am) Kyrie Wilson (Am) Michael Ayers (Am) Jonathan Jones (Am) Connor Shay (Nat) Jaylen Smith (Nat) ...for 2 potential starting spots?
April 29Apr 29 comment_749818 It’s not the end of the world, strong value still but makes no sense over Findlay

Says who? Hodge? Ferguson?

Honestly if we got both, I’d be fine with flipping the ratio to one ni lber starting and they rotate. The jones / ayers at the other lber spot.

If the draft picks are ready to play D can also open up a spot for another American DL and could open up availability to start 3 American OL without having to plug in another Canadian receiver necessarily.
April 30Apr 30 comment_749829 Feels like both the first two kids are more ST guys and not going to start right away so it's not even about fitting at WIL or whatever right now...
April 30Apr 30 comment_749830 Could Griffin II replaces Alexander on the Safety spot ? We have 4 Cdn DBs on roster for depth - Kelly, Hallett, Makonzo and Hagerty. Edited April 30Apr 30 by M.O.A.B.

Yep which makes a lot of sense. If they both get here. I think the floor should be high. Wil or Mac isn’t the most demanding adjustment in the cfl

Jones from TO has too much upside to cut before he even plays for us imo. The other Jones fills a nice true MLB role that shores up the middle against the run if they go heavy Thomas rotation. Ayers again has too much upside....Wilson is one of my favorites but I could understand letting him go....but I'm not sold either guys drafted would be an upgrade

Think of how many reps Gauthier has been taking on D over the years, even last year. Just now, Bigblue204 said: Not a fan of cutting any of those guys.
