1.8 - RB Lincoln Gramatica, LSU - 51/59 54/58
Gramatica presents as an every-down back with decent receiving skills and good running instincts. He hits the hole with authority and has the explosiveness to break big runs. I am hopeful he brings our offense an extra push to make us competitive.
2.10 CB Ramone Cochrane, Miami - 24/54 28/43
While not ideal size for a starting CFL corner, Cochrane has decent ball skills and a natural ability to read plays. He would fit better in a 2nd CB role but who knows how he will develop.
3.9 DT K.C. Rife, Alabama - 42/52 19/23
Rife is a 3-Technique tackle, much like Greg Pancake, so will not be in the starting lineup right away. However, he should be able to contribute on a rotational basis right away and hopefully will develop into a quality starter down the road.
4.8 WR Carlos Sonner, Texas Tech - 26/43 28/40
A no-combine guy due to an end of the year injury, Sonner's route-running prowess caught our eye. I have low expectations beyond being a #3 or #4 option in the passing game but he may end up being a solid contributor.
4.25 P Frankie Mullaney, Illinois - 57/82 46/58
So this makes it 2 straight years we picked a punter in round 4. While Klaff was fair last year, he wasn't worthy of his draft slot. We're hoping Mullaney adjusts to the CFL game a bit better.
