Re: edmonton draft history

Best - Calvin McCarty
Worst -Warren Kean

Looking over that list, it is no wonder the Esks NI talent is brutal and the reason for your downfall

Hmm, Can't rememeber how far back the draft as it is goes back there was a time when teams were able to get regional protected players I think.

Towns was a great NI. Dave Fennel, Bill Stevenson. Leroy Blugh stands out as a terrific pick. Looking at the list was depresseing however. Why Mackinnon is still with the esks and was not purged is beyond me.

Re: edmonton draft history

SO many great draft choices... Blake Marshall is my favorite pick

Re: edmonton draft history

Corbin Sharun has provided great value for a 6th round pick. Calvin McCarty is also great value for a 4th round pick.

Amarpreet Sanghera didn't pan out well as a first round pick in 2004. Emmanuel Casseus the first rounder in 2003 wasn't so hot. Dounia Whitehouse the third rounder in 2003 fits that bill too.

The right of a Club to exempt two territorial players from the draft was terminated after the 1984 season.

Fennell & Stevenson were both Territorial Exemptions in the same draft year. We also selected Stu Lang that year (1974) in the 6th round!

We had some good draft picks in the 80s -- Dan Kearns in 1980, Chris Skinner/John Mandarich in '84, Tom Richards in '85, Michael Soles and Leroy Blugh in '89, but I have to say my vote for best all-time Eskimo we drafted is a tie between Rod Connop in '82 and Blake Marshall in '87.

Umm. .. have you ever heard of the Lyndon Johnson quote, "When they come into our house, I don't expect them to piss on the rug." ?

I am prejudiced because I admire his talent, so Andrew Nowacki. Worst is Warren Kean.

^ That still hurts.

That Bob Cameron kid worked out pretty well. Just not for us.

Get another shot next year with Brett Cameron.

Re: edmonton draft history

Mike O'Shea, our fourth-overall pick in 1993, was certainly a quality choice too. One of our best picks that didn't end up playing a down for us.

Eric Lapointe had a pretty good career as well.
