Of the QB's, none of them are available until at least 2026. Jennings is unquestionably the best of the group but may get a NFL shot even though he isn't the biggest in stature. Drones is more of a runner than passer at this point and Reed is the immediate future of Texas A&M for the next two or three years. EJ Warner, Kurt Warner's son, might have the best chance of coming north after next season as I can't see him attracting much NFL interest.

As for the present, Breeland Speaks may be one that the Argos count on sooner rather than later especially if they lose Ralph Holley to the NFL. Speaks has bounced around the NFL quite a bit but has an interesting skillset that could fit either at end or tackle. Miyan Williams is a strong power back who was good in 2022 at Ohio State but got buried under the deep depth chart there and got hurt in his last year 2023. He wasn't drafted in the NFL but could look to come to Canada to get some exposure. He might be a good power back option to Carey or Brown.
