The Montreal Alouettes have completed a deal with the Edmonton Elks for the first overall pick in Tuesday's CFL Draft.
Heading back to Edmonton is the No. 4 overall pick and the rights to national offensive lineman Carter O'Donnell, who is under contract with the Indianapolis Colts. He played collegiately at the University of Alberta and is a native of Red Deer.
This likely means Tyrell Richards will end up with the Alouettes as the Syracuse linebacker is widely regarded as the projected No. 1 overall selection in Tuesday's draft. Click here for TSN's Marshall Ferguson's 2022 CFL Mock Draft.
The Alouettes will select twice in the first round, now owning the top selection in addition to the ninth overall pick.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Alouettes completed an additional trade with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, sending defensive tackle Cameron Lawson and the 13th overall pick in the 2022 draft for the ninth and 18th picks.
