Time to go to work.

Jersey . After four months of everyone telling you
how good you are, the transition of now proving how good
you are begins. Yes, the contract still has to be signed
and a residence found, but in a matter of 30 days for
those drafted in the first round of this years NFL Draft,
expectations will be high, as now you have to prove your
worth. As always, it was an interesting process at Radio
City Music Hall with limited drama and more logic than
risk. The logic began early with with Jadeveon Clowney
and Greg Robinson going #1 and #2 to the Houston Texans
and St. Louis Rams, respectively. Blake Bortles at #3 was
a surprise, but then again the Jacksonville Jaguars have
serious quarterback developmental problems, so this was a
need pick more than a move for the best available player.
Where the draft became interesting was when the Buffalo
Bills moved up to take Sammy Watkins out of Clemson. As
an organization, I doubt they will regret the move 365
days from now, as Watkins is about as sure as you can get
(barring injury, of course). When you look at the Bills
right now, and this is despite the trade earlier today of
Stevie Johnson to the San Francisco 49ers, Watkins and
Robert Woods make for a solid tandem at wide receiver.
Add CJ Spiller at running back and EJ Manuel has a lot to
work with. And all four are similar in age , that age
being young . A #1 pick in 2015 is a lot to give up, but
Watkinss ability to take a short pass and make it into a
major gain is phenomenal. A good aggressive move by the
Bills. The next 3 picks (Khalil Mack to the Oakland
Raiders , Jake Matthews to the Atlanta Falcons and Mike
Evans to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) were expected. But
then how about the Cleveland Browns? Justin Gilbert at
corner to work in tandem with Joe Haden, also a first-
round pick, was a bit surprising, but getting Johnny
Manziel buy trading up four spots with the Philadelphia
Eagles was smart, Draft day football. So the Browns
created a top cornerback and a new quarterback and will
have two first-rounders in 2015 with the Bills pick. Nice
day of Draft strategy for Cleveland. I think Manziel will
do well in the NFL. Kyle Shanahan will be his offensive
co-ordinator and personal coach and that is significant
in that it was Shanahan who coached Robert Griffin III in
Washington. Whatever developmental mistake he made, if
any, in Washington, he will not make in Cleveland with
Manziel. The next seven picks had reason and thought
about the until # 16 with the Dallas Cowboys. Now Zack
Martin from Notre Dame will be a solid player, but Dallas
allowed the third-most points in NFL history last year,
so it did not make sense to draft a guard/tackle with
their first. Yes, their center and last years first-
rounder, Travis Frederick, was outstanding last year, but
there were glaring needs ignored. The Pittsburgh Steelers
beat Dallas to the Ryan Shazier pick one spot before and
he was a player who Dallas wanted, but Calvin Pryor and
CJ Mosley went to the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens
with the next two picks! Both would be instant starters
in Dallas. This one made no sense unless Zack Martin is a
star very soon. Another team that made a good move was
the New Orleans Saints with Brandin Cooks. They traded up
with the Carolina Panthers and took the player who most
emulates Darren Sproles, who is now an Eagle. Sean Payton
is a master designer of both physical football on offence
and speed football the next series. Cooks is a speed
element that, in the Mercedes Superdome, could be
difficult to contain. Pick #23 by the Kansas City Chiefs
was pretty smart too. Dee Ford of Auburn fell off the
evaluation radar completely as the Draft came closer to
happening. He is a good speed rusher and now the Chiefs
have three of them on their Roster. The Seattle Seahawks
beat the Denver Broncos because of the pass rush in this
years Super Bowl and the Chiefs took notice. Maybe the
biggest risk/reward draft pick was #29 by the New England
Patriots. i dont know much about Dominique Easley, a
defensive lineman out of Florida, other than that he has
had two ACL surgeries. If you are unfortunate to have a
third, it is tough to remain explosive as your main body
part is wearing out. I am sure the Patriots investigated
his health intensely, but it is a risk, especially when
you consider Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, that I
am surprised they would take. Finally, Mike Zimmer and
his Minnesota Vikings had a good day. Anthony Barr at # 9
out of UCLA could be a star on the horizon and then
trading up with Seattle to get Teddy Bridgewater was also
smart. The fans at Radio City Music Hall gave Bridgewater
a standing ovation for a quarterback who lives for his
mothers heath and dropped hard after his pro day. It will
be really interesting to see how he does and, if he does
well, it will put into dispute the emphasis on physical
skills versus football skills coming out of college. He
is in a great situation as Mike Zimmer will improve the
defence, Adrian Peterson will be Adrian Peterson and with
Phil Loadholt at right tackle and Matt Kalil at left
tackle, Teddy Bridgewaters in-pocket skills will be
supported. Bridgewaters coach by position is Norv Turner,
who is responsible for Troy Aikmans success and Alex
Smiths best year in San Francisco. Its a nice place to
be. The first round is over in the NFL Draft and you know
every team will say they got precisely what they wanted.
We know thats not the truth, but with six more rounds to
go, there still is optimism for all involved .

a sore right ankle that had kept him out of Wednesdays
loss at Utah, but played all but the last 10 seconds of
the second half in the first 40-point game for a Phoenix
player since Amare Stoudemires 44 on March 19, 2010.

Jersey . The judge sternly instructed the
prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized -- then
went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony
of the double-amputee runner. It was a harsh day of
cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly
about his account of the moments just before he killed
Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to
several firearms charges against him, including the
firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant.

Blues, having added Ryan Miller and Steve Ott from
Buffalo, remain the No.Mike Hogan is the play-by-play
voice of the Toronto Argonauts on TSN 1050 Radio and
contributes articles about the team for TSN.ca. On draft
day, he was granted the rare opportunity to report on
this years draft from inside the Argos war room. "Youre
only as good as your Canadian talent." Its a well-worn
cliche among those who follow the Canadian Football
League, but it happens to be true. The stakes are high in
the annual selection process, so the tension at the
Argonaut head office in downtown Toronto was
understandably high, particularly as it became closer to
the beginning of the draft. Argo general manager Jim
Barker sat down with TSN.ca at 4:30 pm et, two and a half
hours before the first round commenced, to discuss what
could and could not be included in this article. The only
restriction was that the names of any players not drafted
by Toronto, or names of players involved in trade
discussion would not be used. Anything else was fair
game. At that point, Barker explained that a trade with
Edmonton had been completed. The Boatmen had acquired the
third overall pick in the draft and intended to select
Anthony Coombs if he was available. Barker had acquired
the No. 3 and No. 21 picks in exchange for the No. 6 and
No. 15 picks, as well as veteran import offensive tackle
Tony Washington. The two teams also exchanged the rights
of one player each from their negotiation list. The trade
would not be announced until later, but was not
contingent upon Coombs being available. The Argonauts
love Coombs, a running back from the University of
Manitoba. One person inside the room confided that it was
a unanimous feeling about Coombs, and among a collection
of people within an organization leading up to a draft,
thats a rarity. The dye was cast. The Argos had done what
they had to do, move up in the draft and get the highest
pick they could without giving up too much. They had
accomplished that, but now came the toughest part of the
day; the waiting. The braintrust tried its best to kill
time. Coaches and members of the player personnel
department had already completed a mock draft and now had
little to do except wait. Coaches asked questions about
scheduling that they likely already knew the answer to.
Some in the office watched the St. Louis Rams news
conference announcing their draft picks to the media.
Small talk was the order of the afternoon, and at times
it seemed forced. Everybody involved was simply in the
mindset that Coombs was out there, and the lead-up to
finding out if he would be available with the third
overall pick was, at times, excruciating. The malaise
ended at 6:20pm et when a report from TSNs Farhan Lalji
surfaced, indicating that the Ottawa Redblacks had traded
the first overall pick in the draft to Calgary for
offensive lineman Jon Gott. That announcement would
ratchet up the tension in the office even higher. Would
Calgary select Coombs to complement Jon Cornish? It was a
possibility, and one that would do nothing to make the
following minutes move any faster. At 6:35pm et, Barker
and his staff met once more behind closed doors. After a
few minutes, the staff emerged, grabbed a last-minute
bite to eat and prepared to enter what has been dubbed
the war room. In this case, the war room was on any other
day an average-sized board room. By the time all had
assembled, there were 13 people sitting around a table,
another handful sat just behind. It was, to say the
least, somewhat crowded. A high-speed fan sat on a mini
fridge in the corner of the office. On the wall at that
end of the room was a television, tuned to SportsCentre
in anticipation of TSNs draft coverage. A collection of
photographs was on one of the side walls, featuring a
collection of the organizations greatest players who had
been honoured as "All Time Argos". They were staring
across the room at a wall featuring just the words
"Toronto Argonauts. Honouring Tradition". Along the wall
at the front of the room was a giant whiteboard. This
would be the centre of attention for the next three
hours. Along the left side of the board were the logos of
the nine CFL teams. Along the top, which ran the entire
length of the wall, were the numbers one to seven,
representing each round. A grid pattern was drawn up with
the overall number of the pick written in the top right
corner. If a pick had been traded, a magnetic logo of the
team that acquired that pick was placed in the lower
right-hand corner. To the left of the grid was the most
important aspect of the wall, the list of available
players, in the order that the Argos had ranked the
prospects. Each magnet has the name, school and stats of
the player, with a picture added for good measure. The
player atop the list was indeed Anthony Coombs. The man
with the most responsibility on this night is general
manager Jim Barker. Hes no stranger to the procedure, as
this is his fourth draft as the Argos GM. He was also
Calgarys GM, then Senior VP of Football Operations for
five years before his arrival in Toronto. Also in the
room with Barker was Chris Rossetti, the 23-year old who
took over the reins as the teams director of player
personnel this offseason, Vince Magri, the Argos Canadian
scouting coordinator, Demetri Betzios, the teams U.S.
scouting coordinator, as well as head coach Scott
Milanovich, the members of his coaching staff, three
other members of the football operations department and a
reporter from TSN.ca. A speaker phone sat in the middle
of the table. The teams were connected via conference
call, with the league running the show. A roll call was
taken as the tension continued to build. The nervousness
increased even more as Barker learned of a rumour that
Calgary was talking to BC about potentially moving the
first overall pick in a deal. All eyes turned to the TSN
broadcast and seeing Rod Black, Duane Forde, Paul
LaPolice and Chris Schultz seemed to emphasize that it
was time for football. The majority were glued to the
screen as the Ottawa/Calgary trade was dissected.
Opinions were exchanged, albeit in subdued tones, about
the ability of Gott and who came out ahead in the deal.
Hayes-Raiders-Jersey.html?cat=879">Lester Hayes
Jersey. That discussion abruptly ended when CFL
commissioner Mark Cohon appeared on screen and was asked
about the ongoing CBA negotiations. The room was as quiet
as it had been all night. Someone spoke up and asked if
they should make an offer to Calgary for the top pick. It
underscored how worried they were that their man may not
last until the third spot. Coombs was ranked No. 5 on
Fordes list of the top prospects, higher than most had
him going in mock drafts, although now it didnt matter.
The speculation was about to end. The CFL once again took
a roll call to make sure everyone was ready to go. The
procedural rules were explained and then the words that
started the draft echoed through the room. "Calgary,
youre on the clock". At 7:10pm et, the tension was at its
highest level. Calgary was on the speaker phone and ready
to make its pick. Each player had been assigned a number
on a master list of draft eligible players, Coombs was
number 84 on that list. The team would make its selection
by giving the players number, name, position and school.
John Hufnagels voice came booming through the speakers as
some of the assembled Argo staff stared at the phone
while others looked blankly into space. Hufnagel made the
announcement that had everyone in the room holding their
breath. "With the first pick of the 2014 CFL draft, the
Calgary Stampeders select player number 219..." The
Calgary GM didnt have to get to the name of Pierre
Lavertu, the first overall pick in the draft, before a
bizarre combination of excitement and relief was
exhibited by those in the room. Some physically rose from
their chairs, while others simply exhaled. One down, one
to go. Winnipeg was now on the clock. The tension had
crept back into the room. Eventually the CFL office gave
the Bombers a one-minute warning. Someone evoked the name
of the BC Lions again. Would they move ahead of Toronto?
It was assumed the Bombers would select an offensive
lineman, but if someone traded for that pick, all bets
were off. There was an immediate sense of relief when the
Bombers held onto the pick, and it was almost
anticlimactic when the Winnipegers welcomed Matthias
Goossen to the fold. There was no fist-pumping or high-
fiving in Toronto, just a massive sense of relief when
they realized they had their man. The trade with Edmonton
had not been filed to the league. Barker didnt want to
let others know he was high enough on one of the
prospects to move up. The GM told director of football
operations Ian Sanderson to contact the CFL to confirm
the trade. It was still surprisingly quiet in the room,
even though the Argos now knew they would be able to
draft the player who would make or break this draft. The
pick was confirmed when Chris Rossetti announced to the
league something he was hoping hed have the opportunity
to do. "With the third pick, the Toronto Argonauts are
pleased to select player number 84, Anthony Coombs,
running back, Manitoba." Smiles and laughter finally
filled the room. The prospect that the football
operations department firmly believed was the best pick
in the draft was now a member of the Argos. A phone call
was made to the newest member of the oldest pro football
team to welcome him aboard. Both Jim Barker and Scott
Milanovich spoke to Coombs, congratulating him and
reminding him to keep working hard. Almost as soon as the
pick was made, multiple teams contacted Barker to inquire
if Coombs was available. It seems they were playing the
same waiting game, but the Toronto GMs ability to
aggressively acquire the pick he thought he needed turned
out to be the difference. The discussion in the war room
turned to what other teams were doing, some of the trades
that were made, and what lay ahead. There was discussion
about trying to move up again. At the end of the first
round, there was a brief break, giving people time to
grab a quick bite to eat and reflect on what had been an
interesting, and very successful start to the draft. The
team didnt possess a second round pick so there was some
down time. Barker was inquiring to see if he could trade
up. As picks were made, it was apparent that the mood in
a pro draft room wasnt much different than a group of
friends holding a fantasy draft. Some of the selections
made by other teams were acknowledged as being very good,
while others were questioned or even mocked. Another
interesting aspect of the process was how good staff
members were at predicting who other teams would pick.
While a team would be on the clock, a staffer would
mention that one of their scouts was really high on a
prospect, and more often than not, that player would be
selected. There was some self-congratulation based on how
accurate Torontos mock draft had been. As the second
round progressed, there was great surprise at some of the
picks. All of a sudden, there were two names on the war
room board that occupied the ninth and 10th slots, and
there was now a chance that they would not be chosen
before the No. 21 pick. One of the two was selected, but
the other one was available when the Argos were once
again informed they were on the clock. Jaskaran Dhillon,
an aggressive offensive lineman from UBC, was one of
three players Barker mentioned in the pre-draft interview
as being someone the team would love to obtain. His name
was in the 10th spot on the teams prospect list. Because
they didnt have a second round pick, the Argos had to
wait an hour and 23 minutes to make their second
selection in the draft. They felt it was worth it. Six
more players would be chosen by the Argos, including Eric
Black, the younger brother of Matt Black, the teams
starting safety. At 9:52pm et, the Argos night was over,
and in their eyes, just as it likely was in eight other
war rooms across the league, the night was a success. The
room cleared out quickly, most had flights to catch the
next morning to spend two more weeks with their families
before returning to Toronto to prepare for training camp.
They will soon see what these eight newest Argos look
like when competing against pros.
