CFL (Non-Bombers) off-season news

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

There's always way more DPs we get than roster spots.  Maybe this year we can strategically eye picks 1-4 and if there's someone we want/need trade some of these extra picks to move up a couple of places to ensure we get who we want.

I would say our needs in terms of 1st year starter/allstar are: DT, OC, OG, REC.  DB (CB) would be gravy.

I think they picked up Elgersma with their extra pick last year, not a bad strategy to pick an NFL bound player that may have a delayed arrival.  For every new Natl. they add they have to delete a Natl. from the roster.

I agree with your priorities. But you left out more Canadian linebackers on special teams to pad our depth chart further at linebacker

We added 3 LB's, 1 receiver, 1 DB and 1 OL onto the roster in 2025. I'd rather go for quality over volume this year.

I don't know whether picking Elgersma at # 18 was a good decision or not. He may have been available later. Looking at all the picks made ( besides ours ) I'm not sure if there was a better choice at that pick.

Looking at our current roster, it doesn't appear we have that many spots open except on the PR or trade value. To that end we need to make the most out of top 3 or 4 picks.
