CFL 2011/12 Offseason thread

I think the Stamps should be drafting Plesius. Get the help at linebacker. Stamps are deep at receiver. Although they did take Parker last year with an already deep receiving corps.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Farhan Lalji (on Twitter) says it will be Ameet Pall going to the Stamps (DE)

#5 Stamps do select Ameet Pall. Solid pick for them as well

Probably some more high-fives going on in the Eskimo war-room

Dear Edmonton,

Please don't let Chambers fall to BC. You guys still don't have a QB - BC doesn't need more weapons

Sincerely,

The Western Division

With the #6 pick, the first non-lineman is picked by the Eskimos: Shamawd Chambers (WR)

[Drake]

Pasztor AND Chambers --- pretty good positioning by Tillspin.

Hope both of those guys have long careers in the NFL.

Plesius should be our next pick.

Calgary OL Kirby Fabien will go to BC at #7 #CFLDraft

I'd be surprised if he makes it to Calgary.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

BC Lions select with the #7 pick: Kirby Fabien (OL)

Only one non-lineman picked in the first round. Teams are built from the trenches out, this draft is proving it

[M*A*S*H 4077]

First pick second round: Hamilton selects at #8: Courtney Stephen (DB)

Definitely a pick for the future. I believe he is returning to school next year

[Drake]

Can't believe Frederic Plesius is still on the board. He might be the best athlete in these draft class.

I'm shocked as well

Argos select at #9: Cleyon Laing (DL)

Very surprised they passed over Frederic Plesius. Have to believe Hamilton will take him now- though their linebackers are pretty good

[Drake]

Who and WTF is Cleyon Lang?

Toronto went off the board with that one.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Hamilton selects at #10: The Beast, Frederic Plesius (LB)

What a steal for them

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I'm thinking the Alouettes go for a receiver with the #11 pick.

At #11 the Als select: Patrick Lavoie (RB). Bit of a future pick for them I think.

I was wrong.

Where does Calgary go now? I think they will stay on defence. TSN reporting Sask might be taking this pick. If the Riders get it they will be going receiver.

Sask does trade for the #12 pick. They better take a receiver. If not then it has to be DL

[Drake]

These draft is so far crazy with a side dish of surprises.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Saskatchewan (via Calgary) uses the #12 pick to select Sam Hurl (LB).

Dang. I wanted a receiver. I guess I can't really argue with a LB being taken.

Wayne Harris coached him. That makes me like this pick so much more. I've been coached by Wayne and coached with him. Great coach.
Apparently good instincts- hopefully will make a difference on ST and eventually D. Still wanted a receiver

[Drake]

Sam Hurl? WTF? I think they need a WR more than a damn LB.

I thought for sure it was going to be a receiver especially with most of them still available

[M*A*S*H 4077]

At #13 Hamilton selects Carson Rockhill (OL).

Good draft for the University of Calgary

That trade was beyond idiotic as Taman pretty much got fleeced there. They trade two 2nd rd picks for a 2nd and a 5th?? Maybe I'm confused as #### about that? Taman better hope that kid is a really good rock solid player.

EDIT: From CFL twitter: Calgary has traded the 12th & 35th overall picks to Saskatchewan for #Riders 15th overall pick in 2012 & 2nd Rd. pick in 2012 #CFLDraft.
