Post subject:  Looking back at the recent CFL drafts

Some other football league might have their draft in the next few days, but who cares about that? The new CFL website now includes the past 3 CFL drafts (2033-2035) with player ratings (initial compared to current). It's interesting to see the booms/busts after a couple of years. For example:

2033 - year of the center
2-1 C Jeff Hansen (now 95/95, quite better than 2-2 pick LB Sammie Gilmore who is 12/12)
6-22 C Raymond Spurgeon (now rated 62/64 in his first season as a starter)

2034 had some highly rated skill position players in later rounds:
2-16 TE R.J. Alston (59/73)
2-29 WR Leon Bailey (50/59)
2-32 TE Phillip Hines (59/59)
3-3 WR Lionel McGregor (48/48)
3-20 FS Austin Robertson (53/53)
4-26 WR Cornell Ramo (43/43)
5-16 CB Deion Heath (52/52)
6-11 TE Ed Allen (45/53)

And then there are the busts:
2033:
1-17 LB Peter Walker (25/35)
1-24 CB Quentin Bell (34/34)
2-22 DE Arnold Lane (1/2)
2-28 NT Hugh Kempe (retired)

2034:
1-18 SS Vincent McGee (25/38)

2035:
1-10 LB Trevor McSheffrey (7/28)

For me, my favorite pick has to be RB David Browning who I got at 4-28 in 2034. He may only be rated 39/39, but he was rookie of the year last season and is averaging 4.9 yards per carry so far this year.

I'd say Peter Walker wasn't so much a bust as he was injured severely and had a huge rating drop.

What? no love for Jeremy Meyers (52/52) or Ed Vest (61/62)??? Both late 2nd round picks.

Thanks for bringing up Sammie Gilmore... I had just started sleeping better after that bust!!!

Regardless, great info to have on the website.

Thanks,
Rick
