The Bolts could have as many as 11 picks in 2022.

The Nigerian-born linebacker and his family moved to Calgary when he was 11 years old.
Earlier this week, the Canadian Football League held their annual draft just three days following the NFL’s and there was a notable Chargers undrafted free agent that found his way into the top-10.
With the eighth-overall pick, the Calgary Stampeders selected linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga out of Oklahoma State. The two-time Second-Team All-Big 12 selection was one of 10...

Let’s center today’s discussion around what available free agents do you believe...

Let’s start this Hump Day off with a discussion point that many of you probably have already, in some way, tossed around in your head.
