Offseason

CFL Draft

The 2018 CFL Draft took place on May 3, 2018.[1] The Blue Bombers had seven selections in the eight-round draft after trading their first and second round selections to the BC Lions for their second round pick in the 2018 draft and their first round pick in the 2019 CFL Draft.[2] The Bombers also lost a third-round pick after taking Drew Wolitarsky in the 2017 Supplemental Draft but gained Toronto's after trading away Drew Willy.[3][4]
