CFL Combine

[OV Argo]

I like Ben Grant, very knowledgeable guy who thinks the Argonauts should look at LB with their first round pick.

The Argos already have: Jack Cassar (lots of Argo experience now / big MLB type); recent veteran additions Brian Harelimana (had some starts for the Als) & Fraser Sopik (former President's Trophy winner as top D player at Western); recent draft picks Kwamou, Onyemenam & B. Murphy; plus FA addition Tunde Adeleke (could get a look at S-OLB) - as Canadian LBs.

Not sure how they need more, unless they think they are drafting a future Henoc Muamba type star starter (which maybe Dublanko this draft might project as); or maybe they think a bunch of the above guys are not that good ???

Dublanko was the LB mentioned who could step in and possibly start between McManis and Jones.
He may not be available when they pick.

Ok, but Dublanko is not going to start between McManis & Jones, cause who is going to play S-OLB (unless McManis could play there) ?

I'd bet heavily that Dublanko is gone by the time the Argos pick at #5 anyhow. The Argos already have 2 experienced MLB types in Jones & Cassar (but i bet they would take Dublanko anyways at # 5).

Meanwhile, the Argo only have one Canadian tailback type in Adeboboye (impressive young back - maybe ready for more work) - so what happens if he gets knocked out with injury? There are 3 impressive RB types this draft IMO (Peterson, Herzog & Ike) - like to see one of them drafted and likely one will still be available by the time the Argos have those 3 middle (20 something) picks?

Back to the first rounder - the best D-lineman makes most sense IMO. But sense and the CFL draft do not always mix.

Grant makes a tangible argument for the Argos to select a LB, I trust the Argos brain trust will make a good selection with this pick considering their recent draft success.

Ok; just making some draft / Argo roster observations. We could just defer here to what Ben says though.

I have no issue deferring to the likes of Ben Grant and Marshall Ferguson as I don’t really follow college football very closely.
