A sturdy defensive back at 6-foot-1 and 202 lb., Colquhoun would satisfy GM/head coach Jim Popp’s affinity for Spartans. The Alouettes sure could use an offensive lineman, but they may feel Colquhoun is the best player on the board.

1:3 BC Lions OL Jason Lauzon-Seguin, Laval

If Penn State was Linebacker U back in the days of LaVar Arrington, then we might as well call Laval Offensive Lineman U. The thing everyone likes about the Rouge et Or big guys is the fact they’re, usually, fairly safe and ready to contribute something in their rookie year.

1:4 Toronto Argonauts OL Josiah St. John, Oklahoma

They have 2015 first rounder Sean McEwen in their back pocket, but he’s investing his time in the NFL right now. With a number of American receiving options and 2014 first rounder Anthony Coombs ready to take on a bigger role, the Argos could go back to the offensive line or maybe even look at one of the top defensive backs available.

One of the biggest draft board risers this winter, the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder projects as a Craig Butler-type hybrid defensive back/linebacker.

They could (should?) look to the offensive line, too.

The Stamps signed starting guards Shane Bergman and Spencer Wilson to contract extensions this off-season, but the bigger concern could be starting centre Pierre Lavertu, the top pick in the 2014 draft who is slated to become a free agent next winter. Couture added weight this off-season and is hovering around 290 lb., which further enhances his versatility and ability to play multiple spots, including centre.
