I dunno if Lumsden (the only guy you can take with a 1st round pick - it's like passing on Crosby) is going to even make it to the NFL. Seems like an awful long shot for a Canadian to make it as a RB or FB or whatever he'd end up as down there. I personally think Calgary's set in the backfield - we have Reynolds and Jenkins, Diebert can fill in where necessary, and Bowles is a competent FB. Why get another? I'm with browna - trade the pick for somebody with CFL experience (anybody), hopefully an impact player of sorts. I'm sure Hamilton or T.O. will be happy to take the pick.
