Ti-Cats scoop Als draft pick
Courtesy Hamilton Spectator:
It seems the Montreal Alouettes will have to do with one less first-round pick in this month’s CFL Canadian college draft.
Two league sources said yesterday the Alouettes will be fined and stripped of a first-round pick in the draft, which goes April 30, as a result of surpassing the CFL’s 2007 salary cap of $4.05 million.
Montreal was to pick at No. 4 but will be forced to give that up and be relegated to just one first-round selection, that coming at No. 8.
Hamilton has the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft. The sources said now teams selecting fifth through eighth will move up a spot and Hamilton will make the final selection at No. 8 based upon having waiver priority for posting the CFL’s worst record last year.
