Calgary Dinos had 4 players selected with

Timmis was the first Dinos alum selected in the CFL Draft on Tuesday evening when the Hamilton Tiger Cats picked the native of nearby Burlington, Ont. with the 14th overall pick.
“This is huge, this is huge,” Timmis said. “I’m coming back home, it’s pretty cool.
“This is the best choice, I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
Timmis was the second running back chosen in the draft — McMaster’s Wayne Moore was selected 11th by the Montreal Alouettes — and will be joining a Ticats organization that he supported growing up while making family trips to the old Ivor Wynne Stadium.
It’s also a team where he may have the opportunity to contribute immediately. The Ticats finished third-last in team rushing in 2015 and didn’t have a single player finish in the top-10 in total yards. ...


Only nine picks after Timmis was selected, the B.C. Lions picked receiver Brett Blaszko with the 23rd overall pick. ...
Blaszko was widely projected to go in the second or third round, so he wasn’t shocked to hear his name called with the sixth selection of Round 3. What was surprising — pleasantly so — was his CFL destination. In Blaszko, the Lions are getting a big, quick and versatile receiver who became a favourite target for Dinos QB Andrew Buckley over the past couple seasons. On a team with no shortage of receiving options, the 6-foot-4 Blaszko fought through an early injury to finish with 336 yards in six games in 2015. ...


One pick after Blaszko was selected, the Saskatchewan Roughriders took another Dino off the board when they chose Elie Bouka at No. 24. The Laval, Que., native surely would have heard his name called significantly earlier in the draft, but the defensive back signed a contract with the Arizona Cardinals last month and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be making his way back north of the border anytime soon.
Former Dinos linebacker Alex Ogbongbemiga was selected with the first pick of the fifth round, 36th overall by the Roughriders after impressing last season with the PFC’s Calgary Colts.
