I was thinking just straight up keeping him if it happened. The Vikes and Spielman continue to pride themselves on NOT drafting for need. Maybe not the best thing in the end, but it would be cool to see Ponder get a little kick in the @$$.

Man, I was thinking Geno Smith would either be picked in the top 7, and if not, he would drop way down to the end of the 1st round. Maybe the Vikes will have a choice on him.

Imagine that. I would like it.
If he makes it past the Jets, prime trade ammo for the Vikings. Someone is going to want him or Manuel I would have to think.

Who are the jets going to take is the question. This has to be the worst possible scenario for them

Or Buffalo. Buffalo is taking some QB. Bet the Jets are too now. If I'm not mistaken, most of the guys that were mocked to them have already been taken.
