He was a major contributor getting to the grey cups so, yeah, he did earn them.

Better to say he was a minor contributor, in 2019 he was out with injury the entire season, in 2021 he filled in as an injury replacement for Harris but had not yet found his game.  No doubt he's an important part of the offence but so far he has not proven himself to be a game changer.  Maybe if every running play did not mean 99/100 times Brady gets the ball defences would be less likely to key on him.

I think an import C might be more likely than an import G even though we have Vanterpool that had some experience.

The team must have some pre conceived notion of how they expect to deploy the ratio. How candidates perform / compete in TC as well as new draft choices make this all TBD.

OL, receiver and safety are all possible ratio flip choices.

Bucky Williams is a good prospect and can play center or guard to give us flexibilty

Brady is a great RB, he owns 2 GC rings, but he didn't earn either of them.

Logan Taylor picked at # 202.

Konga, Bailey Jones and Meiga sign UDFA deals in the NFL.

So that's 6 of the top 20 ranked draft choices gone at least temporarily.

That might make Vaccaro or Gatkuoth still available to us. That's just based on the current ranking but, Denis and Henning also available as " wish list " players mentioned so far for our 1st 2 picks.

EDIT: Cline, Reese and Bell have now signed an UDFA. Making it 8 of our top 20 and another 2 actually getting drafted.

Hmmm. Still some we've mentioned left that we should get with our 1st pick

Adriane Green in Calgary is another starting CB and he was available in free agency in 2025. Regardless a quality starter at safety is a good choice. Even though we don't need that ratio flip, it gives us other options. That's never a bad thing.

So is Campbell (CB) for the Riders.

It's extremely rare to have a Natl. starting at DB other than at Safety, other than Ty Ford I can't think of any Natl. DB's currently playing. One of the keys to Richie Hall's defence coming together back in 2019 was allowing him to go all import across the board, Jeff Hecht being the last.

Tevaughn Campbell on the riders is another exception, but they are uncommon

People seem to constantly equate overspending the salary cap to winning, when has that ever been the case in the CFL?

It might have been before SMS when rich teams could just buy the best players available.

However, spending to the limit should raise the odds if you spend well.

When you are as good as Brady, you get 95% of the reps.  Sprinkle in the other backs sure but if healthy you run your best horse.

Brady is a great RB, he owns 2 GC rings, but he didn't earn either of them.

Eric Cumberbatch is listed at CB in Ottawa. I don't know whether he's started any games in 2025 or whether he wins the role to start in 2026. It does seem we're getting a few young talent in the CFL in the secondary.
