CFL National Draft

The 2023 CFL Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[7] The Redblacks had ten selections in the eight-round draft.[8] The team had the first selection in each round of the draft after finishing last in the 2022 league standings (losing the tie-breaker to the Edmonton Elks), not including traded picks.[9] This was the first time that Ottawa selected first overall since the 2015 CFL Draft.

Notably, the team acquired additional second-round and third-round selections after trading the rights to Woodly Appolon to the Edmonton Elks and Terry Williams to the BC Lions.[10][11] The Redblacks also traded their fourth-round pick to the Edmonton Elks in exchange for Nick Arbuckle.[12] The team also upgraded their eighth-round selection to another seventh-round selection after trading Llevi Noel to the Elks.[13]
