I'm certainly not qualified to assess what the team is doing with their drafts. That said there seemed to be more obvious areas of needs with a few picks. Picking another LB looked like the biggest reach.

It's going to take awhile to figure out which players might get bumped from the roster.

We did hear good things about Cline and Gatkouth in mock drafts and general conversations. It may result in a wait for a bit but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

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.

More than likely a FB. Not only is he slow, hes not strong. Realistically I think its more FB/true TE. Like I said, field is changing. Bigger bodies will be needed. We've seen them throw to the "TE" Eli in that jumbo package.

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.

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!
