[ArgoGabe22]

The Redblacks have just traded away the 1st pick along with Marwan Hage's (retired) rights to CGY for OL John Gott.

The Argonauts just made a trade to move up to Number 3. Drafted running back Anthony Coombs.

I like that .... Excitement plus!

I wonder if he would've been taken by Edmonton or Montreal. I'm thinking not Calgary but you never know.

Here are some articles on Anthony Coombs:

With these trades happening ..... Will they get through the first round? ..... Time for a 2 hr prime time slot TSN!

I love the trade for Coombs - he was my first choice as an Argo pick. However, Argos gave up a lot.

Yeah we're only on the 4th pick and there have already been 4 trades.

True but we did get a second round pick too.

Neat to see it cats and Sask make more trades.
So Ticats and Stamps have 2 first round picks each. Crazy.
....do you think this was planned for prime time?

True but we did get a second round pick too.

Argos gave up 6th and 15th draft choices (first and second rounds), as well as Tony Washington (whom I liked but was not as outstanding last year as in his first), import db Otha Foster, and a negotiation list player not identified for Coombs (3rd overall) and a third round choice (21st overall).

I think Washington was behind both King and Rogers on the O-line....I hope the Argos don't just hand Coombs a starting job, hope there is a real TC competition.....

Based on the combine footage, Coombs looks like he has excellent hands, especially for a back.

In other news, Rod Black STILL annoys me.

BC just got the best backup in the league in Kevin Glenn, which is important as Travis Lulay has showing an increasing propensity to injury in return for the fifth overall pick.

Now cut that out!

My mistake. I thought that they said we got a second round pick on TSN.

I think Coombs will start out returning kicks and punts and spot Durie. Durie is great but he is seeming more and more fragile with each passing year and will be 33 in July. I suspect Coombs will get some starting time this year as Durie is likely to miss one or more games.

They did say that during the broadcast but the CFL website details the trade and 21st overall is a third round choice as they say.

The Edmonton Eskimos acquired Toronto’s first and second round picks (6th and 15th overall) in the 2014 CFL Canadian Draft; import offensive lineman Tony Washington, import defensive back Otha Foster and a negotiation list player in exchange for Edmonton’s first and third round picks (3rd and 21st overall) in the 2014 CFL Canadian Draft and a negotiation list player.

The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced that it has acquired the third pick overall, which was used to select University of Manitoba RB*Anthony Coombs , along with a 3rd round pick (21st overall) and the rights to a negotiation list player, in the 2014 CFL Canadian Draft from the Edmonton Eskimos in exchange for their 1st round (6th overall) and 2nd round (15th overall) selections, import OL Tony Washington, import DB Otha Foster as well as the rights to a negotiation list player.

EDIT: Nevermind I see that you already posted it.
