Duane Forde has a long article on tsn.ca, describing the draft status of Zac Carlson, a Weber State (alma mater of Rob Hitchcock) offensive lineman. It is one of those weird cases where part of his growing up is done in Canada so he should qualify, but he needs receipts from that time period. Like a six year old keeps receipts. Anyways, looks like Carlson won't qualify for this year's draft, but qualifies for some weird purgatory like supplemental draft. And since the Cats sucked, they have the first pick in the supplemental draft, but at the cost of a pick in next year's draft. Where do the Cats see themselves placing next year?
Forde also discusses how if the Cats can actually sign DT Corey Mace, whose rights they acquired in the Moreno deal, then they wouldn't have to pick Laval's
Etienne Légaré, another defensive lineman and could instead pick Bishop's running back Jamal Lee. I've heard nothing about the Cats being interested in picking Lee and frankly I thought the Cats have soured on Canadian running backs after the Jesse Lumsden situation. Lee might still be a good pick in a seemingly weak draft year, as he would at least be useful on special teams. Really he couldn't do any worse than Cat 2008 first round picks Samuel Giguere and Dylan Barker, neither of whom played a regular season down.
