Re: Lions sign Christian Covington

Wow! The Lions have also released David Menard. One step forward with the signing of Covington and two steps back with the release of Richardson and Menard. I suspect these moves are cap related. Cap would be a big factor but I think overall the quantity and quality of talent across the DL is just ...

Re: Lions sign Christian Covington

- Whatever happened with Woody Baron. All-star season then cut just prior to the free agency window opening and still unsigned. Like Lucky Whitehead and Janarion Grant just part of the 30 and over club deemed too expensive at this stage of their careers even with gas still left in the tank? Those a...

Re: Lions sign Christian Covington

This is a huge signing, and I’m not referring to Covington’s size and strength. As others have said, he and Stove Richardson can be difference-makers in the middle if they’re healthy and in game shape. Having national status as a local product from Vancouver College bolsters the CFL’s deepest natio...

Re: Lions sign Christian Covington

Whoa! Maybe this doesn’t happen if Betts re-signed and didn’t head down south. The D-line talent is certainly stacked. https://www.bclions.com/2024/05/01/covington-comes-home-lions-land-veteran-defensive-lineman/ At 30 hopefully he still has some gas left in the tank and doesn't return with the NFL...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

Really nice pick where they got him IMO - all-star D-half with some superb testing #s - might be able to challenge for starting safety soon if they try him there. Provides depth there for sure. I expect Greene will be starting S this year. Likely with his experience now and looked pretty decent las...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

DB Christophe Beaulieu of Laval at 26. We can set the snooze button or watch Canucks game. Next pick isn't until the 5th.

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

You’re welcome. For predicting OL or predicting Una? I'm not sure which one of us beat the other to the punch. I posted in this thread back on Feb 22nd that BC's biggest draft need was OL. As much as the argument for receiver enticed me to change my mind I still was thinking OL was the way to go. I...

In 3D's DB rankings JC Abbott had him ranked 2nd best DB after Labrosse. In his top 25 rankings which included Adams, Johnson, McLachlan and Manu he had Beaulieu ranked 18th.

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

If Riders go anything other than WR it sets up nicely for BC to fill that WR depth at 15. I just don't see WR as a priority for them. Winnipeg has the 2 picks in between. No way they would use both on WR. EDIT: Winnipeg took Clercius at 13. Duncan-Busby should be available at 15. Straker could be a...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

Wow. CFL.ca mock draft had Una at #33 overall and we take him at #6. How do we explain this disparity? DH :cool: I'd have to dig back but pretty sure one of the mock drafts on 3D, TSN or CFL.ca had BC taking Una at 6th. EDIT: I dug back. John Hodge's Mock Draft 2.0 of April 4 had BC taking Una at #...
