The Alouettes don't have a pick before the second round of the 2020 CFL Draft; in round 2 they have picks #22 and #23, while in round 3 they have picks #22 and #25.
I could be wrong, but to me the more pressing needs are at LB and DB; unfortunately, when picks #22 or #23 there could be no top prospects available at these positions. For this reason, provided there are available, I will not be surprised if Montreal selects, at # 22 or/and #24 Marc-Antoine Dequoy, DB, now a Green Bay free agent, or Michael Hoecht, DL, now a Los Angeles Rams free agent.
Your numbers threw me for a moment … second round are picks 14th and 16th …
the Als should have a shot at 2 players in 10-20 range of the CFL Scouting Bureau’s final rankings:
10
Mason Bennett
DE
North Dakota
Winnipeg
11
Kétel Assé
OL
Laval
Saint-Marc, Haiti
12
Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund
DL
Southeastern Louisiana
Dartmouth, N.S.
13
Brendan O’Leary-Orange
REC
Nevada
Toronto
14
Cameron Lawson
DL
Queen’s
Caledon, Ont.
15
Adam Auclair
DB
Laval
Quebec City
16
Dylan Giffen
OL
Western
Strathroy, Ont.
17
Tyler Ternowski
REC
Waterloo
Hamilton
18
Rysen John
REC
Simon Fraser
Vancouver
19
Jack Cassar
LB
Carleton
Msssauga, Ont.
20
J.J. Molson
K
UCLA
Montre
Couple of LB/DB … the top 20 is heavy in OL/DL (9), receiver (5), LB/DB (2 each) and one kicker and one QB … so while I agree that DB and LB are inoprtant targets, unless things fall into place better to go with the "best player available"unless DM trades up to get a particular player or down to accumulate picks … maybe 2021 first rounders if possible.
As a Carleton grad I would be happy to see a Raven going to the Als … CFL Draft is always challenging in that several of the best players are unknown quantities because of being drafted or signed by an NFL team … how high a pick to risk on player that may be one or more years away from joining the team …
En raison de l'absence d'émission spéciale sur RDS concernant le repêchage de la LCF (alors qu'il y en avait eu une pour la NFL...) l'analyste football du 98,5 FM Alexandre Laganière fera un facebook live avec une très belle brochette de collaborateurs. Je vais quand même être sur TSN ce soir pour une question de convivialité mais je regarderai la reprise probablement demain. C'est une bonne initiative même si elle est la conséquence de la malheureuse décision de RDS

3 from UoM ... not surprising ... it is "possible" he knows something about them that others might not ... or it may be heart over head ... , I'll judge the selections based on what they do on the field rather than the fact that DM coached them
Think O'Donnell is a good value selection at #22
3 DL, 2 OL, 2 LB, a DB, a SB and a RB ... decent variety
Wonder if Colton Klassen (the RB) is any relation to former Al Michael Klassen?
Agreed … 6’3", 195 lbs DB with, from his UoM pro-day, a 37-inch vertical, 10-foot, eight-inch broad jump and an impressive 4.35 in the 40-yard sprint and 4.14 shuttle and 6.65 three-cone
