    Justin Dunk predicting the Argos will draft an OT in Jacob Ruby ? - wouldn`t surprise me at all, but I hope not if he is just viewed as a long-term OT project (like Sewell) cause they are going to favor playing import OTs - don`t want a back-up project with a 1st rounder (we shall see how much Coombs plays this year if both he and Durie stay healthy) - get an impact player who can hopefully contribute right away with the 1st round pick please.

    That's a good point. As long as Ricky Ray is the QB you don't want to fool around with rookie Tackles. But they do need some depth and maybe Sewell didn't impress all that much last year. Otherwise why wouldn't they take a Guard to replace Smith. I like the Calgary Guard Sukh Chung and he is rated higher than Ruby. But I expect the GM's will do a lot of double talk leading up to the draft trying to throw off their counter parts on who they are going to draft.

    I don't think there is any "maybe" about it. The two games he played regularly, he got eaten alive. He barely got on the field otherwise, not even in rotation or on special teams. I still believe there's an excellent chance he will develop into a starter but his career started slower than we would have hoped. Of course he had hardly played the previous season in college, either, because of injury.
