another mock draft this time on cfl.ca.

Ferugson has zero credibility and this draft is just another example of it. In fact he has the bombers not taking a olineman til the 8th round.

I don't get this pick at all.  Pick another LB and have him ride the bench?

I think there could be 10 to 12 of these players getting drafted or signed as a UDFA.

Canadian players are getting more attention in the NFL draft each year. We can't blame players for taking that shot even as UDFA's. Obviously an UDFA is more likely to be available by the end of the season. That may or may not drop them in the rankings and / or selections. ( risk analysis ).

It will skew our CFL draft selections to when or if those choices get made.

Anybody know how many of the 2025 draft choices are still exploring NFL opportunities?

All that said, things are in limbo but having the # 4 pick should land us a great player. I'm looking forward to watching our draft but have no idea of who we really want if available. Some choices across the league just seem to say " huh ".

No matter. Let the good times roll. Just no more LB's thank you very much.

Sounds like one in the first round, after that a crapshoot. Could be just one, or could be 5.  Nothing higher than a forth rounder for a drafted guy, IMHO.

The UDFA signings will be key, especially if money is offered.  No money, you can draft him higher, probably won't stick.  Might take a year to "give up", but still, if he's good enough to get an offer, he's worth the wait.  Third rounder is fine, free second rounder for the right fit.

There is a mock global draft CFL.CA. 7 of the 18 picks are punters or kickers. The best of the rest has 30% or more of the same category.

One surprise is a QB being chosen with the last pick in round 2 by Sask.

Not much to say but the Bombers projected to pick a punter with their 1st pick as expected. It's just depth.

I don't think it makes any sense to take another LB at #4. Unless you plan on turning him into a DE. Djabome is 6'2" 237. Then at #13 to Gatkuoth 6'3" 237 who is a DE. Love to get the Manitoba kid Vaccaro at #4. If not we jump on Henning   . Then there's Demontaqnac (WR), and Bell (DB). Both look impressive.

Speaking of LB's. What is the injury status of Novak? He might be hard pressed to make the roster with the other Canadian talent we already have.

Must have shown well as a ST player but that might be where his career tops out along with Ethan Ball, but you never know which players will outperform expectations.

I'm just looking at it from a roster size and how many Canadian LB's we have. Cadwallader is very good and then we have Shay and Smith. I don't see room for 4 Canadian LB's. 

If we use a 2nd global as rotational depth on the DL, that's on less Canadian on the AR.

We added Santos-Knox to the mix so hard to expect and of the Canucks to see much time on defence.

I didn't think Novak played badly but he's 4th of 4 in that group.

No, it doesn't, and I'll go mental if we do it!  Our 1RDP Shay is basically just rotting on the vine.  Make use of him before going back to the draft.

I want hoggies all the way.  We're still questionable at LG, very questionable at C, and eyeing retirement at RG.  We might need 3 top OL in the next 1-3 seasons!!

I would take hoggies in 1R and 2R, and maybe find a way to trade for another 1R even higher up to get the top hoggie.
