Chevy hasn't stunk with mid first rounders, higher picks seemed to not work out as well... not that I prefer to pick 13th, but JM44 has been solid, and KC81 is a solid 17th pick...

Pionk and Miller getting close. Nino and Vlad are a couple of weeks away with no set backs.

I never really thought of going 3 Nat rec but the argument is really good.

- Demski "doesn't count" since he plays as good as any star receiver

- Nield showed very well last year and if he builds on that, can become a top Canadian receiver perhaps

- Fifth receiver is a role player anyway and there's one ball to go around and no ball to go around if the QB is getting sacked constantly. Clercius looked good to me in his first year but didn't seem to be used very well last year. Let's give Condell a chance to position him to showcase his strengths when needed and make that progression from his first year

I like the idea of doing whatever it takes to getting back to having an elite OL again. We sure missed it last year.

I've given up the hope we'll get a high draft pick.

Same here. They've all but squandered that opportunity barring some drafty lottery miracle.

As is former Bison David Onyemata being paid $10.5 million with the NY Jets for one season to play D-line!

by going three nationals, allows us to have oline with 3 imports. A stronger oline increases the dynamics of the passing game much more than the 4th best receiver being a cdn vs import. The quality of the receivers doesn't mean a whole lot if the qb is continually running for his life.
Personally I'm with Goldmember in hoping Nield continues his growth, I could see him being more effective than say a Wheatfeld or Stern was for us last year.

I agree and like this thinking. Our O line has to be SOLID if we are to have success, so start 3 IMP there, and 3 NAT's on recieving corps and you're right, as the 4th read, really how much impact is he going to have

The problem is, we are in contention now. We are only 5 points out of a Wild Card. Which really sucks.  The good thing is we will be playing the Ducks, Rangers and Avas in the next three games. The Ducks and the Avas should beat us.

I've given up the hope we'll get a high draft pick. The trades and players getting healthy have made this a better, faster team than earlier in the year. From an organizational stand point, I'm happy that they were able to move Stan/Schenn and bring in Rosen. I'm happy they're playing Rosen, Lambert, and Salamonson. And there are certainly positives to bringing the kids up and not having them experience a 20 game losing streak.

The only disappointing thing is losing the opportunity to add higher end talent. We hit a wall in the play-offs every year and it's usually at the expense of teams who have those high-end players in their line-up. We'll never be able to add those players in FA and we've been swinging and missing in the middle-late parts of the first round.

Looks like getting rid of that dead wood Stanley" has really sparked the team...

Just kidding.  Any time you can replace Stanley on the top PP with Morrissey, its going to have benefit.

We're getting healthy at the right time, if we were in contention.  Now its just lottery busting that we're doing.

Tanks alot.

Buffalo and Tampa Bay in a fight filled game and Stanley or Schenn. Buffalo took a beating in most of those fights, but still won 8-7. Dahlin in the middle of a couple of those fights.

It'll be interesting to see if the Bombers go 3 Natl. receivers like the Riders did, can't really see it as it would limit the dynamic of the passing game.  Would honestly prefer to see Nield and Clercius job share, only on the field at the same time when it's a running play, which could spare Demski extra wear and tear he doesn't need to accumulate.
