Quote from: Pete on Today at 05:57:27 PMan issue is that we've been picking in the bottom 5 each year and any oline that can make a difference hasn't been available. We did well getting Wallace in the bottom of the 2nd round, and even Vibert. Not sure if we can name a olineman that we had a chance to draft that is starting in the cfl.
With the nfl taking many of the top choices the pickens are slim

Chris Fortin started for Calgary this year. We picked Shay instead.
My wife is amazing!

Fortin was available when we picked Shay?  Ouch...

Let's hope Shay is a year 2 starter at least at Kramdi level then.  A NAT WILL or MLB would sure bust the ratio.
Never go full Johnston!

I don't think Connor Shay is beating out Tony Jones any time soon, and we just signed Jones to a 2 year deal....

He could change the need for a DI back up or he might be in the mix at WIL. If neither is true than we drafted poorly by not choosing Fortin.

So far he's had 10 ST's and no DT's.  Fortin has been a starter in year 1.

I agree.  However, Shay may turn out to be the smarter one, and that can be important for the MLB, and I think T.Jones would be just as effective at WILL.  I have no idea how this will shake out, but to stop our history of draft busts we better turn Shay into something besides the next Gauthier.

Shay barely saw any action on the D, so take that stat with a grain of salt.

I expected a little more out of Shay this season. But, I was very happy with Smith. Smith might end up starting before Shay.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

That's the catch. We don't know what the plan is or what his talent level will be. Just saying as far as 2025 we added an ST player while Fortin started on the OL as a 1st year draft choice.

I'm another who was disappointed Shay didn't get more opportunities on defence.
