NFL combine on right now. Sounds like CFL #1 rated player for the 2026 draft, Akheem Mesidor 6'3" 259, will probably get picked in the 1st round of the NFL draft.

Thats the thing though, top centers import or not seem to be hard to find or were not looking, I wander what is happening with Sean McEwan

I think he's still a free agent. Was the 4th ranked free agent O-lineman in 2025, but he's coming off an ACL injury in May 2025, so not sure when he'll be ready to play, and not sure at what level. And he'll be turning 33 in June. Might be a option to consider if their current plan doesn't work out well, and no one signs him.

The top 2 were allstars for a lot of years. Leo Groenewegen and Blake Marshall. the third pick I don't remember at all.

Even Rocco Romano who went to Calgary had a good career.

I'd totally take someone like that eyeing 2027 in case Big Stan retires.  Broxton to LT, rookie to RT.  (Unless Broxton just kills it at RT, in which case leave him there!)

If we had a ratio-busting NAT OT it would be even easier to get an IMP C or G in there.

Does anyone remember the dudes drafted top 3 in this show?  Did they pan out or bust?

TSN still does an hour+ long show for every draft.  It's similar to this, but less hype and basically nothing "live"/in-person.

I like the idea of having the top X prospects in the room, that's cool.  Also having all the GMs in the room.

They also seem to make the picks faster.  I wonder if they had a shorter time limit than they give now.  I always thought they give teams way too long.  They have their lists all worked out ahead of time, and react/update as other teams are doing their thing.  They could shorten the clock to 1 to 2 mins no problem and speed things up.

I also prefer the media doing the announcements in this 1987 draft.  I always find it lame having the commish stand up there and announce everything, especially Johnston who is as inspiring as sandy loam.

Does anyone remember the dudes drafted top 3 in this show?  Did they pan out or bust?  The names didn't mean anything to me.

Ya, bunker, that power rankings is total butt.  So many things wrong.  Everyone's anointing BC, kinda just feeling it's "their turn" or something.  BC is always very hit & miss, because their QB is hit & miss.  And he'll probably get injured anyhow.

I would expect 3down to do a better, more thought out one.

None of the OL in the top 20 are C... not sure if that's because C don't get noticed the same... there are some impressive OT prospects, like Tyrell Lawrence, 6'7 355 OT...

I'd totally take someone like that eyeing 2027 in case Big Stan retires.  Broxton to LT, rookie to RT.  (Unless Broxton just kills it at RT, in which case leave him there!)

Not so much, 4 spots are already assigned to Holm, Nichols, Kramdi and Moxey, the only true opening is the leftover CB spot and perhaps a rigorous debate about who plays Safety.

Ya, but Moxey isn't a 100% sure deal.  He has to FIFO and show effort at practice and capacity to learn the system.  There's no auto-shoe-in just because he's $175k -- see D.Mitchell.  If you get in MOS's dog house you could find yourself on the PR.

Also, ya, Moxey will probably get it, but we need to spot the next-man-up in TC because a season never goes by where a DB isn't injured.  We want the next guy to be basically as good as the starters.
