In this episode, we zero in on a pivotal moment for the Edmonton Elks as they head into the CFL Draft armed with serious draft capital. With six picks in the first 35 selections—thanks in part to G.M. Ed Hervey dealing Nyles Morgan to the Ottawa Redblacks—we explore how impactful this haul could be in reshaping the roster. What's the strategy at third overall? We break down the possibilities and how Hervey might approach a draft loaded with offensive line talent. Does he address the trenches early, or take advantage of depth later on? There's also a clear mandate to replenish Canadian talent following offseason losses, including the retirements of Tanner Green and Josiah Schakel. We look at whether this draft class has the pieces to immediately contribute—especially on special teams, where Canadian depth is critical. We'll spotlight top local prospects from the University of Alberta, debate whether a team takes a swing on Miami's Akeem Mesidor, and examine how post-NFL Draft signings could shake up the board. It's a deep dive into strategy, scouting, and the decisions that could define the Elks' future. Find all your CFL draft info at 3DownNation.com. Learn more about your ad choices.
