I would prefer to give all the picks a few years to develop before I make my judgement

It's always a cr@p shoot

Don't know what we got until they see the field

whats the fun in that! Get off the fence!

Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on April 29, 2026, 12:45:48 AMExactly it makes little sense in the grand scheme, or does it? $:-\$

I guess we'll see. Hard to say because we don't know the plan or the conversations they've had. I certainly like it more if the thinking is to lean him out and play him as a big receiver.

If the plan to convert him to offensive line I really hate it because it almost never goes well.

And oddly, I don't really think there's anything he can do on a CFL field at that weight right now. He's too light as an offensive lineman and he'll be too heavy to be a receiver.

Can he play teams? Can he LS?

I see him as a true TE with Brady ball. True Jumbo Oline TE. Condell must be involved in this.

The TSN panel is having a hard time understanding most of these picks. So it's not just the Bombers that have made some head-scratchers.

GOLDMEMBER · April 29, 2026, 01:03:54 AM

Bonus pick, YEAh...

indeed lots of word salad.

Three OL selected in 1st round. None in the second. I was expecting the Bombers to select at least one OL in the first couple of rounds...is it about to happen?

GOLDMEMBER · April 29, 2026, 01:06:36 AM

Lots of guys from Rutgers, lol

I bet they take a flyer on an NFL bound draft pick in later rounds, odds are they'll end up back in the CFL.

With the smaller endzones coming...maybe theyre preparing for the future and getting some bigger bodies for the red zone....?

GOLDMEMBER · April 29, 2026, 01:09:47 AM

Got Cline anyways.

Bailey won't be in the CFL. Guy has crazy measurables and motor.

The guy sounds exactly like how we've used Eli. With Eli probably moving to Centre, this seems like a natural fit for us.

Not sure why anyone would be confused.

More about the trade up to get him.
