Well, this question is strictly based "at the current moment", which means that I can't take into account "theoretical talent", which might be unlocked somewhere in the future. So the answer is:

Nakajima, Buemi, Alguersuari, Grosjean, Kovalainen.

Jaime and Romain are mid-season substitutes. Maybe they will develop into decent drivers, but at the moment they are struggling significantly. Buemi had a couple of promising drives in the beginning of the season, but besides these he hasn't impressed me. I personally feel STR badly needs an experienced driver to unlock the potential of the car more. Throwing unprepared rookies in one after another isn't helping their case at all.

Nakajima isn't that inexperienced any more and clearly we have seen enough of him by now in F1. And is Kovalainen the most underperforming driver in a top team since... Michael Andretti? He might perform better in another environment, but currently we are not seeing it.
