OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread - Pre-Season starts Mon May 20 at Sask 3pm (Watch on CFL+)

[Holden Caulfield]

Riders go futures pick at 12 again. Wiebe not gonna play this year.

Brubacher, Wallace, Clevens, Straker are the most likely here at 13 for Bombers.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Marshall says all these guys are gonna big “stars”.

 

[snowkiddin]

Lolololol. Elks gonna Elk.

What I miss?

Marshall says all these guys are gonna big “stars”.

Just like Mr. Jones and me.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

What I miss?

The took a walking red flag at 10. Guy was scheduled at CFL regional combine...and just did not show up. Bit of a positionless LB/DE mix as well. Has character concerns. Particularly having taken LB in Rd1.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Kevens Clercius

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Haha Kevens Clercius. I mixed up his first and last name earlier (Clevens? Lol).

Everyone said I was nuts that'd go WR 1st. I thought he might go to Bombers at 8. This was a solid pick, IMO. Adds some real quality depth to WR position.

 

[bustamente]

Interesting pick for the future receiving corps

 

[The Blue Baron]

Could TSN get the camera any closer to OSHs’ face?

Jesus Mary and Joseph TSN knows how to throw dull show!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

If they can get Brubacher at 14, have Straker fall to 17 and get Benedet as a futures pick at 20, this is like a perfect night for the Bombers, IMO.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Michael Chris-Ike

Brady back up?

 

[snowkiddin]

Mike and Ikes are yummy

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Chris-Ike. New FB who can also carry the ball and serve as an emergency RB.

Michael Chris-Ike

Brady back up?

More like a Mike Miller replacement. He's probably not gonna be much of a RB at the CFL level.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

There goes Brubacher.

Gotta be Straker at 17 I would think.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Gabe Wallace. Best OL on the board easily.

 

[bustamente]

That's a big dude

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Elks take a LS in 2nd round. A guy I wanted the Bombers to get...late in the 3rd or 4th.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

That's an...interesting pick. Don't know much about that guy.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Elks take 3 LB's and a LS with their first 4 picks. Never change Chris Jones...

 

[snowkiddin]

That's an...interesting pick. Don't know much about that guy.

Samson? Duane Forde says he’s one of the best d-line in this year’s class. Hoping that works out for us

 

[The Blue Baron]

So do we like Big Blues picks?

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Samson? Duane Forde says he’s one of the best d-line in this year’s class. Hoping that works out for us

Yeah but they always say that. We'll see, he sounds like an interior guy. It does seem like Bombers might plan to go with 2 Canadian DT's this year.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Damn Riders took Straker early in the 4th. So much for that. Wonder why he slid so much though, the more he slid the less I was liking him. Usually slides are for a reason.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Bombers took a LS Ian Leroux who's returning to school. Mike Benson is 36. So it works perfectly.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Bombers take what appears to be a bit of an undersized OL Ethan Kalra from Waterloo.

Sounds like another guy going back to school. Pick acquired in the Dru Brown trade.

 

[snowkiddin]

Bombers took that OL for the Detroit Lions. Could be a steal if he ever comes north
