Hamilton Tiger-Cats snag top pick in 2021 CFL Draft
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have won the CFL‘s version of the draft lottery.
Commissioner Randy Ambrosie unveiled the 2021 draft order Saturday night after the league conducted a random draw that was equally weighted.
With the 2020 season wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore no overall standings to base the draft order on, the Tiger-Cats grabbed the first overall selection.

A date for the draft has not been announced.
The draft, which will be reduced from eight to six rounds, will use a so-called “snake” format in which teams will pick in reverse order in successive rounds.
