One of the biggest days on the Canadian Football League calendar takes place this Sunday.
Months of scouting, film-watching, analyzing and discussing will come to a head this weekend as the league holds its annual Canadian Draft. Along with the scouting and signing of import players, the draft is one of the two major ways a CFL roster is built and, with the old adage about the importance of Canadian content, it is arguably the most important.
The Stampeders currently hold seven selections in the six-round draft including three picks in the second round. In addition to their own second-round pick (the 14th overall selection) the Stamps own the second picks that originally belonged to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (acquired in a 2009 trade that sent Lenny Walls to Winnipeg) and BC Lions (acquired in a 2010 trade for Jesse Newman).
Calgary does not have a third-round selection, having agreed to surrender that pick in exchange for choosing speedy receiver Johnny Forzani in the 2010 supplemental draft.
Including Forzani, the current Stampeders roster boasts 15 Calgary draft picks. Five members of the 2010 draft class are part of the group including top pick Rob Maver, the CFL’s scoring champion a year ago.
Here’s the full list:
2010 (5): Rob Maver, Taurean Allen, Karl McCartney, Oamo Culbreath, Johnny Forzani (supplemental pick)
2009 (2): Eric Fraser (pictured right), Steve Myddelton
2008 (2): Dimitri Tsoumpas, Jon Gott
2007 (2): Justin Phillips, Jabari Arthur
2006 (1): Jon Cornish
2005 (1): Miguel Robede
2003 (2): Marc Calixte, Mike Labinjo
In addition to the Calgary selections, the Stamps feature a number of Canadian draftees chosen by other clubs including Randy Chevrier, Tim O’Neill and Tim St. Pierre by Edmonton, Corey Mace and Arjei Franklin by Winnipeg and Jesse Lumsden and Zac Carlson (supplemental pick) by Hamilton.
