Other teams have some of the same needs as the Bombers, many don't. But just because other teams are adding players does not mean we need to follow suit. One can argue more players in camp are better but if the recruitment is strategic and focused that may be the route to follow rather than just "adding players". The Bombers have been improving over several years. They seem to have a formula in drafting, trading and recruitment that works for them. Until proven wrong, I will go with the present process. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Just saying that most of the other teams have to do a lot more than the Bombers to improve their teams and that means bringing in more competition.
Walters had said he planned to add another 30 - 35 players awhile back and we've added perhaps 7 since then in April. The draft will add another 10 so we're still far under his comment.
It's not the total specifically but the balance needed to run drills within positional groups .For example, I count 20 DB's but only 13 receivers. In the past we've usually had about 20 of each. 3 QB's need some bodies to throw to with DB's covering them. For that matter I'd expect a 4th QB in TC.
I agree we have less roster issues than other teams but that wasn't the focus of my statement.
We still have to fill 12 PR spots and you want to find those with the most upside. It's a volume business regardless of whether you have a set veteran roster. Mini camps were held to find candidates.
