A look at all 5 Roughrider 2018 draft picks
The 2018 CFL draft has come to a close and the Roughriders have added five new players into the fold. From offensive lineman to linebackers here’s a brief look at the young men you’ll see – or in one case may not see – at training camp this year.
Dakoda Shepley, fifth overall, University of British Columbia offensive lineman
Shepley is such a talented offensive lineman that the Saskatchewan Roughriders couldn’t say no to drafting him, even if it means they have to wait to see him. The six-feet-four-inches tall, 306-pound Windsor-native has a contract with the NFL’s New York Jets that will keep him busy for the foreseeable future – or forever if he makes the team. The Roughriders think his talents warrant taking a risk. Shepley, meanwhile, is focused on making an NFL team but called being drafted by the Roughriders “an honour.”
Micah Teitz, 14th overall, University of Calgary linebacker
