Posted April 8, 201411 yr comment_46103 Darrin Bauming has tweeted a pic of Quentin Saulsberry signing what I assume is a CFL contract. C/G prospect. Could we be starting a NI at tackle and an import at C?
April 8, 201411 yr comment_46110 Got busted last summer for DWI and then cut from the Denver Broncos. 6'3" and 305 lbs- seems pretty athletic, but the question is was the DWI an isolated dumb incident or part of a bigger, dumber problem.
April 8, 201411 yr comment_46164 Thats a crazy name. He must be good. The Bombers should hire you as a scout. You seem to have a good methodology for identifying talent.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_46217 How I see it: Plan A: Draft Lavertu at #2 overall, have the option to start Neufeld or an American at RT. Plan B: Ottawa takes Lavertu, draft Foucault (or elsewhere) at #2 overall, start Neufeld at RT, import at C. Of course they could take Goossen at #2 as well, but I have been led to believe that the club is not all that high on him.

I wonder what the Bomber brain trust sees in Goossen that leads them to believe he should be ranked lower. Attitude? Lack of speed? Teachability? Fragility?

I think it's just general ability, to be honest. He's not at the skill level you'd expect out of a #2 pick.

Plan Z: Ottawa takes Lavertu, draft Coombs, start import at C, start Neufeld at RT. Coombs start at RB.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_46224 Start an Imp at C? That is an absolute waste of an import spot. I truly hope people aren't serious.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_46226 Start an Imp at C? That is an absolute waste of an import spot. I truly hope people aren't serious. They drafted a lot of tackles the last few years, what if they have a NI who can play RT but none that can play centre well? Would still be using 2 imports on the o-line. Hell wouldn't even be the first time that the Bombers used an import at centre, unless I'm forgetting but wasn't Benedict Ibisi a centre?

Of course they could take Goossen at #2 as well, but I have been led to believe that the club is not all that high on him. At the time of the combine Coombs said he put on 10lbs of muscle. Brian Dobie said he has put on about 20lbs total since training this offseason. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, I would not at all be opposed to taking Coombs.

Do we really need a NI running back who gets two touches per year?

Do we really need a NI running back who gets two touches per year? I think that Coombs is a solid talent, one that wouldn't just be relegated to special teams and sub-duty, on any team. He's being compared to Andre Durie, and that calibre of player is what he could be. A legitimate, consistent contributor to the offense, possibly even a ratio changing starter. He has way more upside than any other canuck RB we have drafted in a long time.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_46273 All I can say about Anthony Coombs is that he was the best football player on the field at every Bison game I went to this year. He won't disappoint whichever team gets him. It would be a shame to pass up on him just to take another OL that won't see the field for a year or two.

He won't disappoint whichever team gets him. It would be a shame to pass up on him just to take another OL that won't see the field for a year or two. That's all I can say about Evan Gill. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, and they are really sour on Goossen, maybe take Gill or trade down for a later first and a second if anyone is interested? I really don't see Foucault fitting our needs for 2nd overall either. He's a pipeline pick, and we already have some guys in the pipeline. Coombs is one hell of a gamble for a team like the Bombers to take IMO.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_46277 Agreed with JBR, if Lavertu isn't there, take Gill or trade down with say the Riders, who have 9 and 11.

Truth be told I'd be happy with Gill or Coombs if we can't get Lavertu.

I really don't see Foucault fitting our needs for 2nd overall either. I think we'll keep the pick and take a DL if Lavertu is gone. Walters said the draft only has a few really good players (IIRC he said five) and after that there's not a lot to distinguish between them.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_46290 It's nice that we can argue over the top prospect(s) we will get over arguing over the top prospect(s) we want and then draft off the board.....

Walters said the draft only has a few really good players (IIRC he said five) and after that there's not a lot to distinguish between them. i remember in his recent interview, he said that Coombs is a phenomenal and a special talent and the team that will draft him will surely acquiring a very good football player.

I saw that interview and got the sense that, while Walters likes Coombs, he won't be drafting him.

Coombs is one hell of a gamble for a team like the Bombers to take IMO. Im hoping that if Ottawa takes Lavertu that the Bombers trade down. Id like to see us trade with Montreal or BC and grab their first and second rounders... If its with BC id like number 12 along with 5. I don't want Focault, and one of Gill, Smith, or Goosen should be there at 4 or 5 IMO. In this scenario, We may still be able to get Coombs at 12 or 13
