I would say Pierson at centre and Lemar Durant at slotback.

My gut feel is 4 NAT OL starters. Just a matter of the combination. Does Foucault kick out to tackle to make room for Chungh? Knevel? Could it be Chungh who moves to C? Are Godber or Peirson ready for C? Given the reported contract for Chungh I would think not but then again C is arguably the most important OL spot next to tackle on the QB's blindside. Or could Vaillancourt resurface in the middle given he was being groomed to be Husband's backup in 2017? Steward and some of the others are far from angels but Figs, Chungh and Vaillancourt would make for a nasty piece of OL to play against.

Nice signings so far Ed! So glad we got Reilly now, Jennings was soo painful to watch the past couple of seasons.
This probably means Jovan Olafioye and Manny Arceneaux are probably gone. Both were great players and represented the Leos extremely well...I wish them the best.

Lemon is a free agent and unlikely to be resigned.

I pondered on another forum that BC would be going after Johnson, Jefferson or Ja'Gared Davis and if they couldn't get one of them or they were too expensive they might circle back to Lemon. Question is what sort of relationship does he have with Claybrooks who was his DLC for his two years in Calgary.

One more OL (Peirson, Knevel or Godber?) and a safety, possibly Josh Woodman.

Anyone have any input on Woodman and Edwards? Were they starters on the Eskimos as I can’t for the life of me remember seeing them play.
Diamonds in the rough or cheap like borscht options to Otha Foster and Anthony Thompson?

I think Edwards was the Eskimos staring SLB and Woodman filled in at field CB, when Colquhoun went down.

I don’t know much about Woodman but some Eskimo fans expected him to take over as starting safety this year in place of Neil King, who was released last month.

Per CFLDB's roster numbers Edwards played and started all 18 games at SAM. Woodman play 18 starting 6 at "DB". I just went through all their depth charts and he was always listed in the safety position either backing up Neil King or starting when King was injured.
