No. Ponder was only available once. The Redskins traded back with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags took Blaine Gabbert with Washington's 10th overall pick. The Minnesota Vikings, your other former team, took Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick. And the Redskins took Ryan Kerrigan with Jacksonville's pick at 16th overall.
Had the Redskins stayed at #10 overall and not traded back, then and only then was Ponder there for the taking. But Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan obviously felt that the Redskins 31st ranked defense needed upgrades so they traded back and took Ryan Kerrigan.
