Just for fun!

Not every draft goes exactly as we imagine it will so I want to suggest some potential wildcard picks. These are picks no-one is really talking about for us and not necessarily at positions of need or, way above the value where we normally consider drafting a need position. So, pick one from the list below that you would prefer if such a pick was made, or feel free to suggest one of your own. The more wildcard-y the better.

These are picks I would never make in a mock, but they are also ones I wouldn't object to if such a pick was made. I consider them all upside picks.

1. D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana at pick 63.

2.Trade 1st & 2nd for Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee. An interesting possibility if he falls into the early 20s.

3. Jacob Rodriguez, linebacker, Texas Tech at pick 31

4. Connor Lew, C, Auburn at pick 95.

5. Mike Washington, RB, Arkansas at pick 63.

6. Omar Cooper Jr at pick 31

7. Eli Stowers, TE at pick 31

8. Brenen Thompson, WR, Miss St. on day 2.
 
I kind of screwed myself. I was going to go with D'Angelo Ponds at 63 and then thought of Omar Cooper at the last minute and liked that more.
 
I like many of the players, but not at the listed price points.
 
I think adding Washington at 63 would be my choice for the wildcard picks.

Thank you for the traditional poll choice, too!

You're missing the point.

It's not about what we do, it's about how you would react should Vrabel do that which we wouldn't expect. Just have fun with it.
 
I didn't miss the point. I chose RLKAG, which is what I would do with those options.
 
I’m not sure if it belongs in mock draft fails instead, but Justin Melo of SI has Ponds going to the Pats at 31. THAT would be quite the wildcard pick.
 
I didn't miss the point. I chose RLKAG, which is what I would do with those options.
Fair enough but that's a little killjoy. You would hate every one of those choices? There isn't one you could get on board with?
 
Not at those price points. Sorry to be a killjoy.
 
I chose Conner Lew. I think he's priced honestly but we don't need a C at all.
