Waud needs to stay healthy and step up his game to prove he rated a 12th overall draft pick; Klassen has always been pretty solid IMO in limited time with the Als. IF all 4 of the above have good TC - they could easily go all NI at DT, IMO

    They did trade away import DT Ceresna and lost FA Zack Evans to the Riders.
    I like Waud a lot. Very cool guy that has had some bad luck. Could be a great signing by the RedBlacks.

    Sometimes a change of scenery is all someone needs.
    Good luck to Waud.

    Waud is in the same company as Gaydosh IMO - 2 former highly rated DT prospect for the CFL draft who just haven't panned out for much playing time and hampered by injuries; i bet both could be very solid starters in the right situation.

    NI DT talent seemed so strong the past few years but doesn't always show in the CFL - Atkinson, Gill, Vaughn with the Ticats to go with Laurent; the Bummers used first overall last year on Faith Ekakitie to go with Jake Thomas; Ottawa has 2 draft picks - Abdesmad & Ankou - who have stuck in the NFL; BC has a couple of really good ones IMO in Luke & Forde, but not sure they will play that much with Wally? Stumps have been playing a NI DT and they have Junior Turner, Quinn Smith, the ex-Queens guy whose name escapes me now, plus last year's 1st rounder Randy Colling.

    IMO - a classic example of how deep Canadian talent can be at a specific position, but it's not always going to show in the CFL when most teams think that they only need 7 NI starters and will defer to imports often.

    A bit of a lull at DT this draft year maybe - with NCAA starter Julien Laurent the only real top notch prospect ?
