CFL Draft

The draft took a little over a day to complete and 14 teams were selected. Most shocking to all was the fact that the team of the 90's aka America's Team, aka the 1992 Dallas Cowboys fell to the #9 slot in the draft. One would have thought the triplets would have been selected in the top 3, if not the top 2.

I wasn't shocked to see the '90 Giants go 1st, since Mop is a devout Giants fan and he finally got the team he had always hoped to get. At #2 I predicted George would go with the '9ers since they have the most diverse offense of the team's available and a pretty good D. The 90 Phins and 90 Eagles going ahead of Dallas shocked the heck out of me. I'm not sure if it was due to the coaches liking those teams or the anti-Cowboy sentiment. At #4 Tom took Washington after we all thought for sure he'd grab his hometown favorite Lions. Tom has seen well over 35 years of mediocre to bad Lion football and I think he needed a huge change of pace.

Should be one heck of a season.
