The CFL Needs to do the Draft this Way Again

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.

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.
