he’s not exactly turning heads this spring and he could be a candidate to be cut after Friday’s final exhibition game in Vancouver against the B.C. Lions.

That would be a steep fall for a first-overall pick, but it’s not like the Bombers can wait forever, especially when they are reportedly paying the Brampton, Ont., product $90,000 this season.

Would be great if we picked him up if he gets released. It would right a wrong IMO, but I think the Bombers give him one more year.

Side note: Interesting that the previous two first overall picks (not including 2018) seem to be bombing, since it looks like Josiah St. John appears to be struggling in Regina as well.

Both were very questionable picks IMO; St-John was not even an established starter in college ball; and Ekakite was hardly a star DT with lots of recognition or stats to back it up (the Bombers shoulda picked Junior Luke IMO if they wanted the best DT in that draft crop); but both had NCAA Div I resumes - which seems important to a lot of CFL personnel thinkers. Not convinced Walters has that much of a clue as a CFL GM.

We'll see if this year's 1st overall Chapman even shows up for the Ticats and can make an impact.
