"EDMONTON ESKIMOS-Signed K-P Hayden Epstein."

Ok so why did we draft a kicker with the second overall pick last year.

I think I finally figuered out why Edmonton drafted a kicker 2nd over all last draft. There was a bet between two Stampeders staff member to see who could make the biggest fools out of the Eskimos. So the the first decided the best way to do that was a game of truth or dare. After a little while of playing here is what happened:

Danny Machocha: "Ok it's my turn give me a dare."
Stamps staff memember: "Ok... hmmm let me think... I dare you to pick a kicker with your first draft pick."
Danny: "I don't know about that. Something like that almost doesn't make sence."
Stamps: "What are you chicken?"

And the rest is history! Now we just have to wait and see what the second stampeders staff member will do to out play his co-worker.

Now to make things even dumber up there the Eskies have traded for a kicker. Picked up Pikula from BC along with a third round pick for a second round pick. Guess the Leos didn't figure that Pikula was going to make their club so why not send the trash to Edmonton.

So to update the Edmonton kicking saga. 2007 the Eskimos draft Warren Kean at 2nd overall. This off season they trade a 3rd round pick for the rights to Rob Pikula and a 3rd round pick. Pikula takes a non-football job and doesn't come to camp. On draft day the Eskimos trade a 6th round pick for Duncan O'Mahony who they later release when they trade for Noel Prefontaine and give up a 1st round and a conditional pick for.

Training camp starts and the Eskimos have 7 kickers in camp. Then at the end of training camp they cut Warren Kean because he was beaten in camp by Derek Schiavone. The next day they cut Schiavone. So the kicking position has cost Edmonton two first round picks, a 6th round pick, sliding down 6 places in the third round and a conditional pick that could be as high as a 3rd rounder.
