Oh ya, why announce this on draft day?  Why split the spotlight?  He kinda did this with the clock/post/110 changes last year... announce controversial stuff when everyone is busy with other stuff.  Pretty sure this isn't by accident.  Might help deflect the blowback.

Definitely not an accident.

Best case: get eyes back on the league on the day of the draft.

Conspiracy case: hiding the news to be quickly buried under the optimism of drat day.

Slow, unathletic TEs generally arent coveted in the CFL. I dont need to know his name to know that even highly touted TEs rarely make an impact in today's game.

TEs don't make any impact in the CFL game, they don't exist. Which is why this is likely an OL pick. We're probably thinking about rocking plenty of 6 and 7 man fronts.

3rd round pick BOULIANE, Charles-Elliot Of course we need another lb to not play meaningful reps
OJUTALAYO, Jesulayomi wr  or CROMWELL, Devynn db would have been better

Come on Pete, take a breather. Dude good be another Gauthier for all you know!

I love the trade up. Go get your guys.

None of us have ever heard these names before in our lives, and we're saying this guy would have been available later? Whatever guys.

Alternatively, and given our coaching staff's history of not playing new players anyway, let Ottawa onboard them for a few years and then sign them in free agency with the hometown allure.

watch the big guy end up here! I mean look how many people were at his draft
party!

Pretty much hate it.  We've had so many "let's revamp the playoffs" discussions here over the last decade.  Yet not one person ever suggested anything as nutso as these '27 ideas.  Not sure this helps anything or solves anything that was actually deemed a "problem".

Seems like more of Johnston's "change for change's sake".  If I didn't know better, I'd suspect he's a manchurian candidate installed to destroy the league.

I'll analyze more after I'm done watching the draft show (just started!), or at least the 1st 2 rounds.
