Gnahoua and Robo went first and third overall, respectively, in the CFL’s first European player draft Thursday. Defensive lineman Valentin Gnahoua (77) of France impressed at the CFL combine in Toronto in March. However, the league and CFL Players’ Association remain in contract talks with the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire May 18. At six-foot-two and 285 pounds, Plu has good size but lacks blazing speed (40-yard dash time of 4.89 seconds). The six-foot-two, 220-pound Salonen ran a 4.90-second 40-yard dash.
