Posted January 29, 201510 yr comment_105098 Cory Watson and the 26th overall draft pick in 2015 for 15th overall in 2015 and Kris Bastien. I like it.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105099 Wow, that's interesting. I think I like it too.Three top 15 picks in a strong draft.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105100 Another of my jerseys down. I like the trade 3 picks in the top 15.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105101 I was hoping they would trade Watson for the rights to Evan Gill. I don't know much about Bastien but getting another high pick on a deep draft pool doesn't hurt either.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105103 What kind of money is Watson making? Shouldn't be that much I imagine.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105105 What kind of money is Watson making? Pretty sure it's lower than the $225k that Getzlaf is receiving.
January 29, 201510 yr Author comment_105106 He was making "I'm a starting Canadian receiver on my 3rd CFL contract" money. AKA a lot.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105108 Wheels turning now either its Kohlert and JFG or they feel confident they will get a couple guys in FA to start 4 Nats on the oline.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105109 What kind of money is Watson making? Pretty sure it's lower than the $225k that Getzlaf is receiving. Good one there. I'm still trying to recover from the getzlaff salary bomb and now this. I need a drink.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105110 Right now our Nat receivers are Kohlert, F-Gudino and Bastien. Brett Carter is a pending FA, wonder if Walters will re-sign him. And what's the latest with Goodrich and our draft pick Alli.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105111 Media person on twitter saying this is also the Bombers creating more cap space. Is it wrong to to feel a sense of joy that Bombers trade with SK to create more cap space to make a big offer to Heenan?
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105112 I like that we got something for Watson.... but I hate seeing guys I like go to Saskie... Good luck to him..
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105113 Seems likely that we'll be taking a receiver early in this draft.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105114 Seems likely that we'll be taking a receiver early in this draft. Demski! Demski! Demski!
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105115 If you add the salaries of Bagg Getzlaf and Watson must be North of 450,000.
January 29, 201510 yr Author comment_105116 I really don't see us going OL in the first round now, if we have 4 picks in the top 20. You could go skill position at 2nd overall and draft 2 OL with the 11/15/20th picks and still come out with a great haul. Really depends on how things shake down at the combine, though.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105117 If you add the salaries of Bagg Getzlaf and Watson must be North of 450,000. One of them must be going down the road, my money is on Getz.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105118 Seems likely that we'll be taking a receiver early in this draft. with 3 picks in the top 15 you'd have to think Richards and/or Demski are on the radar... and who was that kid from SFU, Durant?
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105120 I liked Cory but didn't play often enough. good luck to him. How did we acquire the 26th pick - part of the Neufeld/Hall trade?
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105121 Loved Cory Watson when he was on the field .. epitomized the way this game should be played .. best of luck to Cory going forward. That said .. I think we made out like bandits in this trade.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105122 very good move by Walters, he is earning his stripes as a G.M. He has a good handle on the Salary cap management and has it set up to retain core guys longterm, creating stability. We just secured 4 picks in the top 20 of probably one of the stronger drafts in years where we could realistically see 3 draftees make the game day roster. He's created cap room for a big splash in free agency and if cards fall into place as they just may now, we may be in a position in one full swoop of an off-season solve O-Line issues, ratio and Canadian depth issues and allow us to more than likely play 4 import receivers, or possibly an all american d-line
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105123 if we get who we want in free agency, and with first 2 picks score nicely I could see, and personally I would take Varga with the 15th pick...If draft and free agency go how we want, we can actually afford to do that this year
