Posted October 27, 201410 yr comment_91311 This is getting waaaaaay too familiar. Let's hope we don't take another National receiver ...
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91314 I wonder how much hype Demski is going to get after his performance on Saturday.
October 27, 201410 yr Author comment_91315 Not Brett Boyko? Oh ya, he's from Sask and will sign there after being here for a few
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91317 Demski is interesting but this team NEEDS quality OL. I don't disagree, we need to draft at least two offensive linemen. But given the track record of early round draft picks + the quantity of strong prospects at that position in this draft class ... nothing says we have to draft one with our first pick. Could look at guys like Sukh Chungh or Jacob Ruby in the second round if we go elsewhere in the first.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91319 I'm a Demski fan and now hoping Walters will make him our first pick. I was a fan of Coombs and Gill. Hmmm... Can we trade Watson to Ticats for Gill rights? I'm such a homer.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91320 So by my count, We still have all of our 7 picksplus a 4th rounder from Riders on Alex Hall trade Although we have pending conditional trades with - Ticats for Brian Brohm - Argos for Josh Portish I say pick Demski 2nd overall then pick OLs on the following 2 rounds. Danny Groulx, Alex Mateas, Jacoby Ruby, Sukh Chung may not be available after 1st round Dillon Guy, Sean McEwen, Karl Lavoie may be avaialble on the second.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91322 To me, who we pick depends on their NFL chances. We don't have the depth yet to be able to pick the best guy available and taking the chance we don't see them for a few years (if ever). We clearly need help on the offensive line so that's where I'd be looking 1st. If Groulx or Boyko get a chance down south, then I wouldn't mind seeing Demski here.

Way too early to start projecting who will/won't be available. There's a whole list of issues to be addressed.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91337 Demski is interesting but this team NEEDS quality OL. This team needs quality Canadians at any position they can get them at. Take the best guy and don't worry about position.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91350 If a guy is leaning to the NFL then pass... I don't care how good he is. We don't need another Mulamba. We can't afford it.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91359 Take the best O lineman available at #2 who will most likely be in the CFL this year. It's our biggest need. Our NI talent isn't at a level where we can take the best player. regardless of the position he plays.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91362 Boyko is NFL bound for sure, Groulx maybe not, if he's available and we don't take him I'd be blown away.

DT Brandon Tennant of Laval would be a nice score too.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91368 It could also depend on how we make out in free agency and what positions we might be able to upgrade. But given that, we must hit a couple of home runs on the o-line this year. If we could just find out who the Stamps like of the o-line guys and just draft them. They seem to have an horseshoe up their ass when it comes picking olinemen.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91370 Demski is interesting but this team NEEDS quality OL. This team needs quality Canadians at any position they can get them at. Take the best guy and don't worry about position. A shutdown corner meets the ratio requirements just a well as an Olineman. 7 best starters and 14 best backups we can get our hands on. Replenishing the hoggie pipeline is also a priority. Looking at our rostered NIs Olinemen, there are not a lot of names that make me think they'll be on the team 3 years down the road. We need to plant those seeds right away. OL Danny Groulx Other than watching some playoffs last year I can't even pretend to have ever seen him play, but based on what info is available on the interwebs to us common folk he does seem like he could be a good fit for this team.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91374 2-3 yrs down the road after their rookie contract is done, the OLs we picked up will just go to free agency and chose to play close to home. I'll say spend the 2nd overall to Demski and pick an OL on the succeeding round.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91376 speaking of draft picks, does any one know how Quinn Everett is doing playing o line this yr

Our NI talent isn't at a level where we can take the best player. regardless of the position he plays. That sounds counter intuitive to me. If we lack talent across the board the sensible thing to do is get the best player out there. I'd make sure someone is going to play in the CFL this year but it doesn't matter what position. We used a canadian in the secondary all year, an upgrade there would be great, we need an upgrade on DL more than we need OL if you ask me, we used a linebacker most of the year, an upgrade there would be great. If there's a star type receiver that would be great, if there's an OL that'd be fantastic too. About the only position you don't need to worry about is RB and qb.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91393 anybody know if Stephen Alli have any interest in playing in the CFL ?

Good teams are built from the lines out. If we don't upgrade our O line, it will be more of the same next year. Our QB will get beat up. Our RB will need to make yards on his own. Our receivers will have to run short routes because we won't have time to complete the long ball. We'll end up hoping that other teams fail so we can sneak into the playoffs. I'd like to see us pick up a D lineman but I'm hoping that one of our NFL DL's will be available.
October 27, 201410 yr comment_91408 Long road to the draft. Once the NFL season is over and they start really gearing up towards the draft we will get a better idea who will be the better picks at the top of the draft.
