Ottawa picks the first RB of the draft, a fullback Anthony Gosselin, a 250 lb bruiser who can block and catch some passes according to Forde.

So instead of drafting a high ranking LB prospect, Popp goes for a skinny DE who will most likely convert to LB.

Riders drafted Meredith from Western, who retired last year and currently weighs 225lb. Not your typical OL prospect. Was this pick a joke?
I'll see if I can go 3 for 3 for the last three years for the best pro O-Lineman. Picked Chung in 2015, Lauzon-Seguin 2016 and Spooner 2017. At least Duane Forde must see what I saw in Spooner. Argos were one short to get Chung, but ended p with McEwen which turned out ok, but they could have had Lauzon-Seguin and Spooner.
If the Bombers end up getting Gray back from Green Bay they will really clean up in this years draft. Three potential long term starters. Somebody in Winnipeg now has an eye for talent.
