Walter's took Ekakatie first overall. Hard to argue he wasn't enthusiastic about him as a prospect. He called Bennett "a polished pass rusher" and likened him to Jefferson
Walters talks up his draft picks every year. We'll see what Daniels turns out to be.

you'd expect him to say that any one of his draft picks is a dud? Its all about potential, and the ability of the player and the team to develop it. Im not sure that the team has done as good a job as it should in the past

I don't really remember him being super enthusiastic about either guy. They were picks from weak drafts that we ultimately got stuck with.

Walters seems really enthused about this, brought up the specific vision that the team and Condell has for him. I'm really intrigued.

I don't think you or others who either support (or accept) the new American-style field or rules, understand the loyalty most of the Canadian fan base has towards the CFL and our version of the game.

Just a suggestion. We should pin this thread, just to revisit it at the end of the 2027 season. I wish I was wrong but I can already sense that fans will be alienated, and some will stop coming to games. I predict a drop of 15% in attendance within 2 seasons of the dreaded new changes coming into effect.

We need to get rid of Stewart Johnston, and the rest of the band of fools responsible for destroying the Canadian game. We need to take back our league.

The best way to go about improving the bottom line of CFL clubs, is to market the product much better.

I'll take that bet, paying 2 for 1 odds that attendance doesn't drop 15% in two years.

If fans disagree they should absolutely be vocal about it. The league is not infallible and doesn't need blind support.

It was suggested that we do the following:

We should make petitions, boycott games, or even picked CFL offices. 

Petitions, sure.  Other 2, hard pass.

You moved the needle on the narrative a wee bit there.  Vocal sure.

herb has been getting more and more annoying/negative about everything.  eats lemons for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Herb should be the poster boy for mandatory retirement, I remember him being super negative and grouchy on the pre-game show with Bob Irving and that was 10 years ago!

Walters said he wants Dante Daniels to lose 10-15 lbs (6'-6", 272 lbs) and become a true TE pass catching option in addition to replacing the 6th man on the O-line.  Tweaks some interesting questions, I don't think they need 3 tough Natl. receivers in Nield, Clercius and Daniels who can block on the roster, so I expect they will revert to 3 Import starting receivers.  Wallace is too valuable to be sidelined in his contract year, if Daniels becomes the the 6th man, than Wallace is the starting LG.

Terrible idea, won't happen.  While the changes are not perfect the league needs support more than ever.  It will get sorted out.

Fans need to do anything humanly possible to save the league, from the dreaded Americanization of our beloved game. We should make petitions, boycott games, or even picked CFL offices.  We have to do it now, before these changes ruin the league.

Yeah but he was enthusiastic about Bennett and Etakitie also. Daniels floor seems to be a bust, and his ceiling seems to be an occasional contributor on offense like Eli and the Navy Seal. Walters has forgotten more about football than I'll even know, so I'm hoping I'm wrong.
