(Vancouver) - The BC Lions are set to add to their prospect pool as both the Global and CFL Draft take centre stage on Tuesday, April 29.

"It's exciting to get the opportunity to compliment the solid group of Canadian and Global content we already have on our roster," said general manager Ryan Rigmaiden.

"The importance of good Nationals is key as we once again get an extra pick for our high number of Canadian snaps. It's a unique opportunity to have as we continue to build our team for this year and beyond."

The team used its 2024 bonus pick (19th overall) to select Concordia wide receiver Ezechiel Tieide while it allowed them the opportunity to use its original second-round pick (15th overall) to nab the rights to UBC offensive lineman Theo Benedet who is currently under contract with the Chicago Bears.

Global Draft- 8:00 am PT:

Round 1- 4th overall

Round 2- 13th overall

CFL Draft- 3:00 pm PT

Round 2- 11th overall
