Offseason

CFL draft

The 2011 CFL Draft took place on Sunday, May 8, 2011. After trading their first round pick to Winnipeg for Steven Jyles, the Argonauts went into draft day without that pick. However, thanks to a trade with the Roughriders, Toronto selected offensive lineman Tyler Holmes with the seventh overall pick, by only giving up a second and a fourth pick. Overall, the Argonauts had seven selections in the draft.
