Toronto Argonauts 2010 CFL Draft Chart: Round Overall Pick 1 1 2 8 2 11 3 20 4 24 4 27 5 32 6 40 6 44 The Argonauts acquired this year's eleventh overall pick from Edmonton in May 2008 in exchange for non-import K/P Noel Prefontaine. The twentieth overall selection came to Toronto, from Hamilton, in the 2009 deal for import WR Arland Bruce III. The twenty-seventh overall choice was acquired last season from Edmonton in exchange for import CB Byron Parker (who has since re-signed with the club), and the forty-fourth overall pick was secured from Hamilton in February 2008 for non-import RB John Williams. The last time the Argonauts held the first overall pick was in 1997 when the team chose long-time centre and two-time Grey Cup champion Chad Folk. Toronto has taken an offensive player all four times it has held the first overall pick, and three of the four players selected have been offensive linemen.
