ugliest google translate ever lol For what it's worth, Dumont also said he was confident Roy would report to CB. Hopefully this is different.[/quote You're right. He is going to say that to the media either way. I think he was upset he didn't go where planned. Guessing Dubois calmed him down and so will time. Hopefully he's at camp wanting to show SJ what they missed out on. I think he would be more wanting to show everyone else what they missed out on. If not for the whole Veleno exceptional status thing, SJ would have picked Bowers #1. As it was SJ still tried to find a way to get him. They are well aware how good Bowers is and were likely higher on Bowers than any other team in the draft. Bowers has nothing to prove to the SJ brass....they all know how good he is. I'd expect a little more motivation out of him for big games vs SJ which never hurts elite athletes but other then that I agree.

Every Guy that ever drops in a Draft has this added motivation , Even if Saint John made the deal at the 4 spot he would have been "Second Fiddle" to Velino anyway .........in the beginning at least.

Nobody was ever going #1 on a Thursday morning until an exceptional player was added Thursday night though in terms of the Q draft. The 2nd and 3rd players don't have the same situation to relate to because they were going there no matter what happened with Veleno. Players drop in drafts at this level for a million reasons. This was really the 1st time the #1 pick dropped because a better #1 pick was added at the last minute.

Almost exact same except he fell to 9th.
