It has been gratifying to see how quickly our draft has grown into a full-fledged national telecast, and I know our fans can't wait to see how their favourite teams fare on Draft Day."

The Montreal Alouettes and Calgary Stampeders currently have eight picks each in this year's draft while Hamilton, Toronto and B.C. each have seven picks. The Edmonton Eskimo have five selections while Winnipeg has four and Saskatchewan has two. The Lions should be extremely busy with three consecutive picks in the first round (4th, 5th and 6th overall) while the Tiger-Cats have two of the top three picks in the draft (1st and 3rd overall.)

It may be a long wait for the Roughriders and Eskimos who are shut out until the second round, where they pick 9th and 11th overall, respectively. The Eskimos also have the 12th pick overall in the second round. Having traded their first and second round picks, the Blue Bombers first pick in the draft occurs in the third round (19th pick overall).
