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 #...

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.

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

And George Una OL from Windsor it is. 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 stil...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

Well so far the two big receivers Mardner and Mital are off the board along with defensive players Dublanko and Labrosse. Riders gambled on NFL UDFA signing Hergel. To me it points to BC going OL.

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

Barring a generational talent, you prioritize building from the trenches out. Always. That’s conventional CFL wisdom but it hasn’t worked for the Lions, who have had little success when they used high draft picks on O-linemen. The only national linemen on the roster who they have drafted or develop...

The Lions selected two punters in today’s CFL Global draft, Carl Meyer from South Africa and Tory Taylor from Australia. https://www.bclions.com/2024/04/30/lions-grab-k-p-carl-meyer-p-tory-taylor-in-global-draft/ No disrespect to Stefan Flintoft, but using a designated American roster spot for a pu...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

With the CFL draft set to begin Tuesday at 5 p.m., a number of prospects have likely fallen down the draft board due to NFL interest. Hulking UBC OT Giovanni Manu was drafted in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions , while UBC teammate Theo Benedet signed an undrafted free-agent contract with the ...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB

It just got rockier. NE took a 2nd QB in the 6th round with Joe Milton III of Tennessee. They have 5 in the room now. Talking heads in NFL Network are speculating that Zappe will be traded. There could be a market for a team thinking of him as a #2 over their incumbents. Damn and I thought it was h...

Re: Lions sign QB Dolegala

By your logic on Mace, could be Sask will be players in F.A. again next year. If none of their 4 others get playing time it will be the same as this year. Just me but I 6 game Trevor Harris asap and see what I have while saving as much SMS as possible only they gave him a big bonus. It's a nice sto...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB

He is seen as needing to fix some holes in his game and at 21, he will be developed this year. Yes, he may dress for all games, but I could see the Pats dressing 3 QB's for the early part of the season which could be positive for Rourke, assuming that he is the #3. I'm not seeing them dressing 3. H...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB

Jones had a good rookie season with the Pats but went downhill soon after. Maybe he was not developed by coaching. Maybe he was resistant to coaching. The Pats seem to be preaching the "development now" mantra with Maye. Rourke could still play a role and get playing time even with pressu...

Re: Lions sign QB Dolegala

Many are looking forward to seeing Dolegala throw the ball but I personally don't see him getting a lot of game day reps with V.A. being the starter barring injury. Could be more succession planning at this point with Dolegala being only 27 and Adams 31. I believe Dakota Prukop will be the busier o...
