Hodge had Cline at #2, and Gatkuoth at #3. Boutin at #13 instead we traded up and took Daniels at #10.

Vesterinen 6'3" 282, he's more of a DT then a DE.

Just thinking that the word was that we could have traded our # 4 and # 13 to get the 1st pick from Ottawa. Instead we used that # 13 to trade up @ # 10 for Daniels and gave up our 2nd rounder in 2027. We used our # 4 to get Gatkouth so it's not a black and white win or loss.

I guess we'll see how this works out, but Vaccaro could be a full time starter soon and instead we get a " role " player?? At best he's a very good role player but an OL gets every snap on offence. A TE/FB does not. Where does this put Chris-Ike?

Gatkouth might be great player but a Canadian DE is not common. It will be a bonus if he becomes a full time starter but just guessing that he is a valuable rotational piece on defence.

It's not common because teams never really gave them an opportunity before.  We could see up to 5 teams start DEs this year.  BC(Betts), Toronto(Kongbo), Montreal(Adeyemi-Bergland and Uguak).  Teams that might: Hamilton(Bagnah), Edmonton(Smith), Ottawa(Vilain)

The Finnish guy isn't a bad choice. Least he's played down in the NCAA as a bit of rotional player. Bit older so he probably is what he is but worth a look anyway and the roster rules certainly give him more of a chance than many, at a position where he may be able to contribute a bit.

Probably think of him as a 7th round pick or so if he were Canadian.

We drafted a DL last year and he never saw the field.

The DL sounds interesting, a punter in the Glo draft ad a P/K in the Nat draft.  Never hurts to have something in the pipeline.

I can see the global punter moved to PR as a development player with the required allocations. The Canadian is another issue. I can't see him also on the PR and it doesn't appear he has another year of school? Maybe he " retires " so we can retain his rights for 2027 but he may not accept that.

The DL makes sense as a rotational player behind Munier-Bailey if he's injured or not playing well.

Could be good, it's still sudden death, one loss and you're out, no second chances.  The bad teams are unlikely to upset the league leaders but QB health could become a critical factor, having a capable backup that can actually win games becomes more important.

The 1 vs. 2 is not sudden death, loser gets a second game, at home.  Winner gets a bye. 

So you can't knock the top team in each division out of the playoffs game one. 

And, they can get a rematch as well.  Can even be a home and home if the #2 wins the Showdown.

Dream scenario, gate wise.

SSK wins the W, WPG is #2

SSK loses that home game, WPG gets a bye and a home game.  SSK faces the winner of 7 vs. 6.  If they win, they face WPG in WPG.

SSK gets a home game against WPG, WPG gets a home game against SSK.

That's two big paydays for the clubs.
