QB  C (Zach is good but the rest of the group is BAD)
RB  A (Best RB in the league)
WR  B (Schoen, Pokey, Demski, Clercius, Wheatfall. Big drop-off from there.)
OL  B-(Your as good as your weakest link. Paddy was bad against pass rush last season, and Wallace wasn't great there either)

DL  B-(Failed to get consistent pressure on the QB, but stopped the run very well)
LB  A (This is our deepest position all around. Tony Jones, Kramdi and Wilson are all very good. The young guys show tons of potential)
DB  B (Found out quick that Bridges wasn't the guy. Hopefully we see someone jump off the page to start)
S   B (I actually really like Cam Allen... But wouldn't that be a great place to fit in a National?)

Would love to look for at least one more good OL in the draft, and maybe a RB to back up BO. Safety would be another place I'd look for a difference maker!

I'd like the scouts to lock in on DB, DE, OT and WR talent down south.

In free agency, I would track down a solid vet QB to back up Zach. Maybe scoop a pass rusher or a solid DB.

Cam Lawson signs two-year extension

WINNIPEG, MB., December 10, 2025 —  The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed Canadian defensive tackle Cam Lawson to a two-year contract extension.

Lawson (6-3, 290; Queen's University; born: October 7, 1998, in Caledon, ON) will return in 2026 for his fourth season with the Blue
Bombers.

After suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2024, Lawson bounced back in 2025, dressing for 16 games (six of them starts) and registered 21 defensive tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.

Originally selected by the Montreal Alouettes in the second round, 16th overall, in the 2020 CFL Draft, he appeared in four games with the Alouettes in 2021 before being traded to Winnipeg on draft day in May of 2022 in a deal that saw the Blue Bombers send the 9th and 18th overall selections to Montreal for Lawson and the 13th overall selection.

Lawson has dressed for 53 career CFL games, four with the Alouettes and 49 with the Blue Bombers, and has 41 career defensive tackles, seven sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble.

He played his college ball at Queen's where he was a two-time OUA Second Team All Star in 2017 and 2018.

Winnipeg's top draft picks the last 5 years.

2020:  10th  Cole Perfetti.
2021:  18th. Chaz Lucius
2022:  14th  McGroarty. Trade Yager.
       30th. Lambert
2023:  18th. Barlow.
2024:  37th. Freij
2025:  28th. Boumedienne

This is the problem.

We're still riding our first wave of stars (who have been fantastic), but then there is an absolute dearth of success through the draft. We are unable to sign or even trade for big FAs, so we supplement with the old guys and it's not good enough.

Kramdi is a coaches favourite. He's not going anywhere if he wants to stay. I think we might have to make some choices with Holm and Nichols. But that's hard too because it took us longer than normal to get our secondary sorted this year and even had to bring back Houston.

Tough off season.

No we don't want a nearly 80 year old man evaluating our prospects. There's a point where everyone just needs to retire and that was before the last time we hired Wylie.

Again, there is no one even close to being an oline wizard that Wylie has shown to be. His "Mushroom Academy"and "COOL clinic" testify to that.  The following that he has among the hog community is legendary.

I can't see any downside in having him in camp.

Fun fact: Bob Wylie comes from wealth. Last time around we pretty much paid him in restaurant meals so cost is not the issue. Not sure he's the right fit this time around as I don't really think we have a coaching, scheme or technique issue along the offensive line. It's in age and talent issue. 

Yeah, I believe he also got a really nice condo in those buildings at the corner of Pembina and Bison...

I'm not saying he needs to be on board for the season, just for camp, shaking out the recruits.  Finding the rough diamond and polishing him into the gem we need.  Giving the oline (and Oline coach) extra tools to succeed with.

Danny Maciocia coached Kramdi at the Univ. of Mtl and has a very high opinion of his intelligence so he'd likely be his biggest suitor, but unlikely he has the budget for another expensive Natl. DB with Marc-Antoine Dequoy also headed for free agency, he might be in line for $200k.

I'd give up Kramdi for Dequoy... if we had to.

Where is Jaworski? Guy had an awesome game in the one he played in.

He's on the Blue Bomber roster.
