Posted December 10, 201311 yr comment_32475 Thought it would be fun to do some expansion draft predictions. So put you predictions in for who will be selected from each team below. I'll put mine up little later.
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32478 prediction: i will hate the REDBLACKS to the point of being physically ill after they draft one of our O-Linemen. wish we could've dealt one before it came to this.
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32496 I'm mostly curious on what direction they go at for qb. Will they go young, will they sign a free agent?
December 10, 201311 yr Author comment_32498 B.C.  Courtney Taylor WR Marco Iannuzzi WR Keynan Parker CB  Edmonton  Eric Samuels LB Brain Ramsey C Ryan King LS  Calgary  Drew Tate QB Ben D'Aguilar DL Billy Peach OL  Saskatchewan  Abraham Kromah LB Corey Watman OL Levi Steinhauer DL  Winnipeg  Marty Markett DB Kito Poblah WR Phillippe Lebon-Dubuisson LB  Toronto  Tony Washington OL Joe Eppele OL Jerve Tonye-Tonye LB  Hamilton  Greg Ellingson WR Frederic Plesius LB Dave Stala WR  Montreal  Aaron Lavarias DE (Could also see Tanner Marsh) Andrew Woodruff G Ismael Bamba WR  Probably way off with these.
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32499 You may not have the names right in all spots, but I feel like you've got the general idea of what level of talent they'll get and the positions they'll focus on. Â Markett is a very good pick for who we may lose.
December 10, 201311 yr Author comment_32501 Yeah feel like they will try to get there starting O-line through the draft. The second Non-Import is a total crap shoot.
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32508 ROUND 1  Winnipeg - DB Marty Markett Saskatchewan - RB Chris Garrett Calgary - QB Kevin Glenn Edmonton - SB Marcus Henry BC - DT Eric Taylor Hamilton - LB Brandon Isaac Toronto - DB Jalil Carter Montreal - SB/KR Bo Bowling  ROUND 2  Winnipeg - DL Jake Thomas Saskatchewan - WR Rob Bagg Calgary - OL Spencer Wilson Edmonton - PK Hugh O'Neill BC - SB Seydou Junior Haidara Hamilton - OL Tim O'Neill Toronto - WR Spencer Watt Montreal - OL Kristian Matte  ROUND 3  Winnipeg - LB James Green Saskatchewan - LB Cory Huclack Calgary - DL Justin Phillips Edmonton - DB Ryan Hinds BC - OL Patrick Kabongo Hamilton - WR Simon Charbonneau-Campeau Toronto - DB Shane Herbert Montreal - RB Jerome Messam
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32514 B.C. Â Courtney Taylor WR Ben Archibald T Keynan Parker CB Â . Archibald is an import.
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32526 Here's my mock protected lists.  They assume that what everyone around the league is saying is true, that Ottawa won't select free agents.  I didn't bother going to round 3 because quite frankly the players that will be left are not that good.  Some of Ottawa's picks in the first two rounds will be marginal players if they truly avoid free agents.  BC  QB-Lulay B Jordan Arcenaux E.Taylor Olafioye Parks Elimimian Banks C Taylor Brown Bighill  BEST AVAILABLE ROUND 1: Logan, Archibald, McKenzie, Marsh, Phillips, K Smith, C Wilson  NI: Harris Fabien Norman Gore Haidara Westerman  BEST AVAILABLE ROUND 2: Ianuzzi, Baboulas, Lumbala, Larose, J Reid, Cronk    Edmonton  QB- Reilly Stamps Bowman C Thompson White Curran Grymes Samuels Willis Howard Sewell  Best Available Round 1: Sherritt, Henry, Hill, Miles  NI: Chambers Shaw Capicciotti Alexander Coehoorn O’Donnell  Best Available Round 2: McCarty, O’ Neill, Hinse, Krausnick, Oramasionwu, Gesse, Ngoyi   Calgary  QB- Mitchell Butler McDaniel Price Raymond B Smith Fuller Hughes Bowen Bryant West  Best Available Round 1: Tate, Glenn, Harrison, Lewis, Stafford, Taylor, Hefney  NI: Cornish Maver Fraser Turner MacDougall Paredes Jones *Wilson (assuming QB is selected) *Peach  Best Available: Gott, Federkeil, D’Aguilar, Mace, McCartney, Phillips, Walter   Saskatchewan  QB-Durant Peters Brackenridge Brown         Fulton Rey Williams Chick George Taylor Anderson *Sheets  Round 1 Best Available: Sunseri, P Miller, T Jackson, Ferri, Garrett  NI: Labatte Heenan Picard Best Shologan Getzlaf  Round 2 Best Available: Foley, Watman, Clark, Bagg   Winnipeg  QB-Hall Sears Washington Woods Wild J Jones Anderson Miles Denmark Turner January  Best Available Round 1: McAdoo, Jovon Johnson, Markett, Dunn, Kelly, Parker, Edwards, Peach, Griggs  NI: *H Muamba Watson Greaves Pencer Swiston Thomas  Best Available Round 2: Poblah, Volny, Neufeld *broken shin   Hamilton  QB- LeFevour McCollough Breaux Gable Norwood Simmons Figueroa Ellingson Grant Boudreaux Banks  Best Available Round 1: O Jones, Murray, Lamar, Bowman, Walker  NI: Hazime Stephen Plesius Dyakowski Wojt Fantuz   Best Available Round 2: Bulcke, Giguere, Husband, Rockhill, Reinders, Filer, Hage, Williams, Gascon-Nadon, Bartel, Atkinson   Toronto  QB- Ray Owens Ball Carter Lawrence Horton King Chiles Mitchell Kackert Robinson  Best Available Round 1: Harris, Collaros*, Norwood, Steele, Tripp, Barnes, Washington  NI: Gabriel Durie Laing Van Zeyl Holmes Eppele  Best Available Round 2: Keeping, Watt, Lee, Yurichuk, Pottinger   Montreal  QB- Smith Sutton Cox Tisdale Green Carter Brown London Richardson Carrier Lavarias  Best Available Round 1: Whitaker, Gainey, Bowman, Hopkins, Berry, Bowling  NI: Edem Lumbala Matte Bomben Lavoie Klassen  Best Available Round 2: Deslauriers, Verdone, Baillargeon, Messam, Adebayo Â
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32544 Posted in another thread but works here too: for those who want to follow the draft live it will be available on CFL.ca
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32549 Why would Edmonton protect Willis over Sherritt?  They have Curran.  Sherritt has a wonky thumb that limited him or had him out of the lineup most of last season and a huge contract.   Broken shin?  Would be a risk from Walters perspective, but Neufeld missed nearly an entire season from a broken leg that hasn't healed and was reinjured when he tried to return.  I don't believe Ottawa will select him for that reason, and I think they will be starting two import tackles anyways.

December 10, 201311 yr comment_32555 Would be estatic to see - Goltz and DeAngelis taken from us on the first 2 rounds Â
December 10, 201311 yr comment_32559 Would be estatic to see - Goltz and DeAngelis taken from us on the first 2 rounds Are you planning on getting Desjardins drunk the night before?
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32571 I strongly believe that Nik Lewis will be protected by the Stamps over Fuller. Nik's got a couple more years in the tank & is under contract. He will be a thousand yard receiver when he returns next season. It would be a PR nightmare for the Stamps if he was drafted by Ottawa & then was an impact player there for a couple more years.. Look at the (lack of) blocking in the WDF by Price at slot. It wasn't until McDaniel went down in BC during the final regular season game & price took McDaniels spot that Lewis was sorely missed as he was so good at blocking every game. Absolutely Fuller's got talent. The question I think is Fuller going to be protected over Joe West? Â
December 11, 201311 yr Author comment_32572 The thing with Calgary is it's most likely 80% chance one of there QB's get taken so won't matter which imports are protected.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32573 Stamps Assistant GM John Murphy was on radio here in Calgary tonight to talk about the expansion draft. He had an interesting observation about the Stampeder picks & how the organization has handled it. Only the coaches that have committed to being here next season were permitted to enter the locked room where the list was posted. It was under lock & key & only Murphy, Huff & one or two others worked on it. So, Dave Dickenson having signed a new long term agreement could go into that room & see the list but Rick Campbell, Dan Yanowski & Bob Gibson who have all left for Ottawa couldn't. Murphy explained that the CFL is a business first & in the long term peoples careers are at stake. He said to the credit of the departed coaches they understood & handled the situation well. Murphy said Huff basically told the coaches that you're either with us or you're not. The guys that couldn't commit didn't see that list. So, that's how the Stamps handled it. He said that the Stamps being a winning organization know their coaches will eventually go somewhere so it was decided to handle things this way.
December 11, 201311 yr comment_32574 The thing with Calgary is it's most likely 80% chance one of there QB's get taken so won't matter which imports are protected. If true, it means they won't lose Rob Maver. Probably the best directional punter in the league.

If true, it means they won't lose Rob Maver. Probably the best directional punter in the league.  Ottawa could always pick Maver then try to sign Burris or trade for Tate(I Imagine Cal would want to keep Glenn).

Saying that because Paredes will be protected.
December 12, 201311 yr comment_32661 Calgary would be crazy to not protect both kickers IMO. Â Harder to replace than anyone else they could lose in the second round.
