Us guys, would love to get Vaccaro, who was a Bison for three years. But, it sounds like he could spend a little time in the NFL. It also sounds like Ottawa would love to have him.

I don't know if he will.  He didn't start much at Purdue.  His size is ok, but not great.  He's only 6'2 so that plays against him.

Other than Oline top tier talent in this draft looks thin. At wide receiver Cenacle is the lone standout, at lb its Dejambe and dline Gatkuoth A team like Ottawa might decide to use their pick   other than oline thinking at 10th they may still be able to get that position covered.

At WR Quayson and Houde are both very good receivers.

I think you guys go Vaccaro if he falls to you.  He can play centre or guard.  Round 2 maybe a DE, not much in terms of DT depth in this draft.

Got out to the lake on Saturday night after the Jets game. Sunday morning opened up a couple of holes. The kids dropped lines around 9 am and within minutes they had a couple of keeper walleye's. By noon we had our limited of 18-20" walleye. Still catching in 12' of water on salted minnows and 5/16 oz jigs.

Wasn't really referring to ST's which is the best place for rookies to get their toe wet, if Ball, Novak or Jake Kelly are replaced by a rookie I won't even blink, if Schmeck, Smith or Shay are replaced I might drop my sandwich.

I don't think Shay or Smith are at risk. Novak and Schmekel are IMO. While our rookie draft choices didn't see reps aside from ST's, I don't know that is sustainable. I think the high picks from last year and this year, need to see some reps.

We have some older Canadians ( and some imports ) that may need to be replaced in 2027. Bringing newbies along slowly is not a bad plan but at some point, they must play. There are always points in games where it's garbage time ( winning or losing ) that creates openings.

Anyway we'll see who we draft. We don't need another starting Canadian per se, but an example might be Elad replacing Allen at safety. Nothing against Allen and I don't know much about Elad. I don't think he'll be available when we have our 1st pick, but if he's capable of starting, we should consider it.

I don't think Jake Kelly makes the AR this year if the Bombers draft a player like Jett and he shows up to TC this season.
