I am  happy that the Bombers are bring in bigger receiver and DB's.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Any new receiver could be the next rookie of the year. At the very least could force a different choice on whether we start 3 import OL. Some of these rookies have some good skills.

The size of the players is a factor imo but not critical.  Can they play consistently, can they adjust to the CFL game and are they good in the room.  Some folks have focused on the size of our receivers and DB's in recent years.  To me, just bring in the best talent possible, the rest will work out if they are ballers.  That all said I like the size of this receiver.   Anyone got his speed #s?

He looks like an American version of Tommy Nield but on that tape there was no evidence he has much YAC ability.
