Should the Argos Draft Mathieu Betts #1 Overall?

[OV Argo]

There are a lot of good names in Ferguson's mock, but I can't figure out where he got the idea that we're looking to start a NAT at RB. Irons sounds very good, but I'm hoping that Betts is still available at #9.

It's John Hodge's mock that sees the Argos taking Irons and going Canadian at tailback? = yeah sure, that's not clueless at all. The Argos will draft O'Connor high too and re-sign Picton and they will be in the mix with Bridge for the Argos to start a Canadian at QB likely as well; I'm pulling for FA signing AV to win that QB battle though = gotta like a veteran QB

An interesting choice will be the territorial selection at #18. Boateng (DB) has been mentioned but a few have suggested Osei-Kusi might drop out the first two rounds because he is seen by some, as needing a little time to mature. It is unlikely he will be available but if he were, I'd suggest we grab him.

Yes Hodge not Ferguson - whoops. Ferguson has us taking McInnis at #9, which makes a bit more sense. BPA but preferably DL at that spot, IMO.

Since 4 o-linemen have apparently visited Toronto for individual workouts, seems safe to say that's what we're taking #1, and maybe another with an early pick.

Hope Jim Popp doesn't find out who leaked that information. Lol I wonder which one is still in Toronto.?

I kind of agree with Hodge's first round. I think I had Winnipeg taking their home town OL Williams, but Desjarlais would be a good pick.

If Osei-Kusi and Mayala are still available for those territorial picks the Argos and Als will be laughing.

Could be Missouri DT Nate Anderson there

Anderson is a good projection, especially as they recently released Cam Walker.

Quote: Back to back years the two top choices Popp has made during his time in Toronto were both NCAA offensive linemen, Mason Woods (Idaho) second round, 10th overall in 2017 and Ryan Hunter (Bowling Green) first round, ninth overall. Expect the trend to continue.
The Argos put a high value on players being able to contribute on special teams which is why some picks might surprise the average draft follower. But there’s a reason behind the choices — Toronto likes players who can contribute right away and develop at their respective position for the future.

As an average drafter follower I now know why Mason Woods was drafted. He was going to be the gunner on special teams. Oh well things do not always work out.

Or maybe Evan Foster sees the field this season.

I think that quote is pretty accurate. Aside from the first round, the Argos do seem to prefer special teamers to long-shot starters and high risk NFLers.
