Still say that Barker/the Argos should be searching far & wide and be using all possible means to upgrade the team / bring in TC competition - including going after some known CFL FAs = some good receivers, Henoc Muamba, Craig Butler, etc.; AND doing some smart drafting (should be able to get both an O-Lineman and a receiver if those are identified as areas of need - I'd include a DE as well; and Devon Bailey - even if he is on the oft questionable/debatable CFL "scouting" top prospects list, is hardly the only receiver up in this draft - I'd argue there are several more - Fox (Bishops), Uren (Western), Bastien (Concordia) - who might be rated as good or better (though none may be considered a sure-fire blue-chipper) - one of them should be available in the 2nd round if the Argos have a pick there.
We know Barker is fond of bringing in all kinds of his guys - FA finds from the States - and this should continue; just don't over-emphasize there at the expense of ignoring quality proven CFL FAs, or by thinking just "NI depth" with the draft.
