April 26, 20169 yr comment_193918 The top 4 on that list all have a shot at being drafted in the NFL... if not drafted, I think they'll sign as UDFAs.... I wish they would expand the list to top 30 or 40, cuz this is really a top 15 when you take out NFL prospects...

With a taste of depth pic future neglist watch guys.

April 30, 20169 yr comment_194388 Huge accomplishment for Oneymata to go in the 4th to the Saints. They traded up for him and my Packers were about to take him, too. Fam down there is pretty excited for the Canadian connection - I've been talking him up pretty good.
April 30, 20169 yr comment_194390 Only Oneymata drafted. Interesting who will sign FA contracts over next 48 hours.

May 1, 20169 yr comment_194448 Id be pretty happy to land gagnon. But then id be happy to get any top 10 OL.

May 1, 20169 yr comment_194479 It must be terrible to try to set your draft order. So many good players on 'invites'. You just never know. GMs really earn there pay on draft day.

They're the gateway drug of the NFL.

May 1, 20169 yr comment_194542 A bunch of CIS guys got mini camp invites last year right after the draft too (mostly to the Giants), and I can't remember any who left with contracts in hand. If you don't have a contract going in, odds of having one coming out are pretty low. It really just puts CFL teams in wait-and-see mode before May 10th.
May 1, 20169 yr comment_194544 Judah the only ones of concern right now are the four that signed a udfa priority contacts. Most of those guys have signing bonuses.
May 1, 20169 yr comment_194561 Talk about a way to disrupt a league's order of business. Nobody minds a legit opportunity to secure an NFL contract going forward, and bravo to those that do, but some of these teams are shooting arrows into the wind, and hoping to hit a legitimate target. Meanwhile, all the CFL GMs up here in the CFL, have to re-do their whole drafting board with an eye on guesswork in figuring the chances of those players returning. It sucks. And that's the way it is. The NFL lick their lips, wring their hands, put on the bib to cover their big fat guts, and select the cream of the crop. Then they spit out the bones. You'd think they would wait until we develop them a bit before they swipe them. Maybe that's the next phase.. Another reason to distrust the big boys..
May 1, 20169 yr comment_194571 Isn't this one of the reasons the draft is next week? A number of those guys should be available come May 10th.

Both Chungh and Richards attended the Giants tryout camp last year. On the left of the photo below you can see Richards unsuccessfully reaching for a food voucher.
May 2, 20169 yr comment_194592 Sort of like our invites to training camp. Everyone is hoping to find a diamond in the pile. These guys have a chance and if it doesn't work out they should be good back here for a long time. Just as well they do it now than do it after a few years and loose half a year of work.
May 2, 20169 yr comment_194617 Mini camp invites mean nothing - the same thing happened last year. Especially with the Giants, they're really doing it more to give these kids a chance to experience the big league camp life. The Giants aren't looking for a right now solution, they're looking for those connections to be built so that down the road, they can attract these guys if they come back up north and make it big. If I'm a CFL GM, the only guys I've moved around on my draft board are Smith, Abdesmad, Colquhoun and Bouka (who wasn't high to begin with)

May 2, 20169 yr comment_194654 Blaszko and van Gylswyk are also headed to Giants mini camp. I don't begrudge these guys for going, but this is just silly. How does it benefit the Giants to have that many bodies in mini camp? Do they bring in sacrificial lambs to make the guys they drafted feel good about themselves?
