2020 pick - receiver Sam Baker - big target - playing a final year with the Sask. Huskies - 4 TD grabs this season so far
2021 - O-Lineman Sage Doxtator - huge OT playing in US college ball still - possible NFL look ?
2021 - Luiji Vilain - D_lineman drafted out of Michigan but transfer to Wake Forest - where he is leading them in sacks this season
2021 - DB Ben St-Juste - late round gamble pick as he had NFL interest ;not only made the Redskins roster but playing on D for them = highly doubtful he ever shows up in the CFL ?
So - the first 3 guys hopefully show up for the Argos for 2022; wonder if former top pick - O-Lineman Ryan Hunter - runs out of NFL opportunity and shows up for the Argos ?
The Arbuckle trade netted another pick for 2022 - possibly 2nd rounder / 11th overall - to go with the rest of the 2022 picks (not sure if they have added any or traded away some for 2022 ?) But seems like a bunch of interesting prospects up for the next draft.
Always looking forward to the Argos adding new Canadian talent each year; pleasant surprise that recent young picks like Nicastro, Acheampong, Hoyte, Hagerty, Brissett. Pellerin and Cassar made the roster this year - most of them getting to play on O or D, some or lots (put me down as very surprised by that).
Gittens really emerging at receiver; Robbie Smith a solid DE; Campbell continuing to start at OT; Richards at OG; Llevi Noel still here - lots of good former draft picks panning out.
Added a couple of proven/star National vets in Muamba & Judge (and hopefully Colquhon can recover from that injury)
And after a number of young quality Canadians - like Woodson, Shorthil, Speller - decided to retire prior to this iffy CFL season ( Covid shortened season with less $s or health fears ? - or Canadian players thinking they might be out of luck/opportunity in a future XCFL with little or no ratio ?)
Argos are up there at league best in Canadian talent IMO = nice to see
