Chris Jones feels ‘very prepared’ for CFL Draft
One of the greatest things that determines success in the CFL is the quality of the Canadian talent, making the annual CFL Draft of vital importance for teams.
As it stands right now, the Roughriders have the second overall pick in the draft and general manager and head coach Chris Jones said he’s fielded a few calls from teams wanting to trade him for it.
“We’ve had a lot of good offers so we’ll just have to wait,” Jones said. “We’re still gathering information about who the (teams) would pick in front of us.”
Since the Riders had the first overall pick last year they didn’t have to concern themselves with who would pick in front of them. This year with the second pick overall, Jones and his football operations team have run a variety of scenarios to get ready.
