In his first CFL Draft at the helm of his own football team, Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Kyle Walters solidified his offensive line, pulled the trigger on a trade to move back into the second round, and found some value with his late picks. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Arsenal Jersey . And while taking highly-touted Simon Fraser offensive lineman Matthias Goossen second overall on Tuesday night will definitely help in an area of need for the club, it was a swap of draft picks that may prove to be his most shrewd move. "When Jesse Briggs started to fall a little bit, you could just see Kyle perk up in his chair. ‘We might have a chance here," said head coach Mike OShea of the Blue Bombers war room on Tuesday night. "And then (hes) working the phone and pulls the trigger and we move up to get a guy that we really value. I think that was a great move. It was fun to be sitting right there watching him work." Winnipeg entered the draft with no picks in the second round, having sent their original along with Alex Hall late last season to Saskatchewan to acquire offensive tackle Patrick Neufeld — a 25-year-old Canadian they hope to be a ratio-breaking starter on the offensive line. The Bombers called up a familiar trade partner Tuesday, Roughriders GM Brendan Taman, and exchanged their two third-round picks (20th and 26th overall) for Saskatchewans second-rounder, taking Briggs 17th overall to add some depth to the linebacker corps. "Jesse Briggs was a guy that we rated high. We were looking for some depth at linebacker. A special teams player. A phenomenal athlete," said Walters of the 6-foot-1, 222-pound McGill product. "And when we had an opportunity — youre in constant talk with all the other teams — if Briggs is here at this number heres what well do. And talking to a bunch of teams. And we were able to get him where we wanted to so we jumped at it." "Briggs, we expect to push. Losing James Green, Pierre Labbe, we needed that role as a special teams guy," added Walters. "Hes going to come in and be given every opportunity to compete and win that role as he pushes." "He played the SAM linebacker position in college so he is comfortable in space, but we view him in our system as a linebacker. An in-the-box guy thats going to be turned loose and run around." But the biggest acquisition made Tuesday is the man who the club hopes will soon start at centre. The 6-foot-4, 294-pound Goossen was one of two O-linemen who came to Winnipeg in the past month for private workouts and interviews. The other was Lavals Pierre Lavertu who went first-overall to Calgary. "I was really impressed by the way that the coaches came across, hearing about how things have changed there," said Goossen in his post-draft conference call. "Its really good to see the changes and I know that itll be a great year this upcoming year." Over the winter, Walters mentioned on a few occasions that the team needed and would land a starter with the No. 2 pick, but Tuesday the GM curtailed those statements slightly when speaking specifically of the 21-year-old lineman. "Im not going to put any undue pressure on him. Hes expecting himself to come in and start," said Walters. "Lets let him get to Winnipeg and lets let him get his feet under (him) before we start putting undue pressure on him." "Given his age, I mean he is a man," said OShea of Goossen. "You see how hes built. His film says that hes got a real good chance at (starting), but being as young as he is I just feel theres a little bit of a difference here. We dont want to stick him in and ruin him, sort of get him shell-shocked and ruin his confidence. "If camp shows us, and he shows us in camp what he believes hes going to show us and what we think he can do, and thats the logical step for us, then hell be in there. And if he needs a bit of time then were quite willing to give him that — afford him that time to develop a little bit. But hes going to be a good player for a long time in this league and its up to me now and the offensive line coach to make sure we dont put him in a position thats going to hurt his confidence." "Im just going to go to camp and try to work as hard as possible and just try to get better every day," added Goossen when asked about potentially starting in his rookie year. "If the coaches want to put me as a starter then that would be great, but right now Im just trying to get into camp and contribute to the team." Winnipeg added another Simon Fraser product in the fourth round in 6-foot-1 defensive back Derek Jones. Jones comes from some impressive bloodlines, as his father Ed won five Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Another intriguing prospect was taken in the sixth round with 305-pound defensive lineman Quinn Everett out of Mount Allison, who Walters says will be expected to learn the nose tackle position as well as along the O-line. The club drafted McMaster linebacker Aram Eisho with their final selection in the seventh round. Mesut Ozil Arsenal Jersey .C. -- Duke sophomore Rodney Hood is entering the NBA draft.

Just whichever one gets him on the field.When the Seattle Seahawks signed Tukuafu at midseason, it was for the sole purpose of being a fullback. Even though he had a history of playing on the defensive line, both in college and in his first NFL stop at San Francisco, the Seahawks were in need of a lead blocker for Marshawn Lynch.Because of injuries, Tukuafus ability to play both sides of the ball has turned out to be a value.Hes just an athlete, Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett said. Hes been able to play fullback, play defensive end, whatever we need him to play. I think hes doing a good job for us. You see him come in and some of the holes hes opened up for Marshawn is amazing and the things he does on defence is amazing, too.Tukuafu signed with Seattle in late October after starting fullback Derrick Coleman was lost for the season to a broken foot suffered in pregame warmups before the Seahawks loss at St. Louis. Tukuafu had been working out in Oregon and made the drive up Interstate 5 to join the Seahawks.At the time, the discussions were strictly about what he could provide as a fullback.I just come in and work every day and whatever they ask me to do I try and do to the best of my ability, Tukuafu said. Whether offence, defence, special teams or if its just offence or whatever, its just going out here and doing my best.Tukuafu entered the NFL as a defensive lineman. Through the 2011 and 2012 seasons with the 49ers, Tukuafu aappeared in 18 regular-season games on the defensive line. Rob Holding Jersey. But late in the 2012 season, Tukuafu started to go in as a fullback in goal-line and short-yardage situations.Came in one day and they switched my number to 48 and was a fullback from then on, Tukuafu said. Fullback and (defensive) line but more so fullback.Tukuafu appeared in only five games last season for San Francisco — three of those coming in the playoffs — and the Seahawks were more than happy to pick him up when the need arose for a fullback.His defensive line experience eventually came in handy. When the Seahawks went to Kansas City in Week 11, they had just lost defensive tackle Brandon Mebane for the season to a hamstring injury. They needed an additional body to try to stop the run and Tukuafu became the option.He played four defensive snaps against the Chiefs; had another four against San Francisco in Week 15; played six snaps at Arizona in Week 16; and was in for three defensive plays against St. Louis in the season finale.But most of his time has been on the offensive side as Lynchs lead blocker and part of a Seattle run game that finished the year as the best in the NFL, averaging more than 172 yards per game.Its easy when you have a guy like Marshawn back there, Tukuafu said. Him and (Russell Wilson) and (Robert Turbin) ... you have guys like that and the (offensive) line that we have I wouldnt expect anything less.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
