Calgary Stampeders News Release


The Calgary Stampeders are slated to pick seventh overall as the Canadian Football League holds its draft on Monday, May 6.

Members of the media are invited to watch the draft at the McMahon Stadium Football Office. Starting at 10 a.m., TSN will televise the early portions of the annual selection process while the remainder of the draft will be shown on TSN.ca starting at noon MDT.

Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel will be available for interviews following the club's first and final selections. Lunch will be provided.

Calgary goes into the draft with eight selections including the seventh overall pick and two slots - 13th and 16th overall - in the second round. The Stamps also have one third-round pick (25th overall), two fourth-round picks (28th and 34th), one sixth-round pick (48th) and one seventh-round pick (59th).

The seventh round was added to the CFL Canadian Draft this year as a response to an increase in the depth of Canadian talent.

In addition to the eight active teams in the CFL, the Ottawa franchise - scheduled to begin play in 2014 - will pick last in each of the first four rounds of this year's draft. The Ottawa team is limited to "futures" picks, i.e. players who are eligible to return to NCAA schools in 2013.
