CFL Season Preview: Saskatchewan Roughriders
The Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched the West Division in the 2009 season of the CFL. They continued their success into the playoffs. In the playoffs the Roughriders managed to beat Calgary before falling in a heartbreaking loss to Montreal in the Grey Cup Championship game. After a 1 point loss in the Grey Cup championship game the Roughriders are hungry this season to show that they have what it takes to bring their team to the top.
After having such a solid season, the Roughriders really made some smart moves in the draft.. The Roughriders were already a solid team all around, and they picked a variety of players in order to add depth to a lot of positions.
Their number one pick in the draft was the football betting star and linebacker Shomari Williams. Last season the Roughriders had 2 All Star linebackers. With the help of another top level linebacker this could bring the defense of the Saskatchewan Roughriders to the next level.
The Roughriders were also fortunate to have another pick in the first round of the draft. The Roughriders picked Jordan Sisco, a wide receiver.
This was a good pick for the Roughriders. Though they had a few solid receivers, they did not have a 1000 yard receiver last year. Jordan Sisco may be just what they need in terms of a “go-to” receiver.
The Roughriders did a great job in the offseason of adding even more depth to a team that was already right at the top of the league. Look for big things in Saskatchewan.
