TORONTO — The Edmonton Elks selected linebacker Eteva Mauga-Clements first overall in the CFL's global draft Tuesday.
The Lions made an interesting selection in the second round, taking Australian punter Tory Taylor at No. 15 overall. The former Iowa Hawkeye, a two-time All-American, was taken in the fourth round of last weekend's NFL draft by the Chicago Bears after posting a 46.3-yard career average and 127 punts inside the opposition's 20-yard line.
This was the fourth CFL draft that pooled global players together. Previously, separate selections were made for Mexican, European and Japanese players. Kicker Dean Faithfull of Great Britain and Australian punter Adam Korsak were taken second and third by Edmonton and Saskatchewan, respectively. Both made significant contributions to their teams last season.
