As an FSU fan, you can add EJ Manuel to this list (mid-1st round by the Bills). I think Ponder could have been a Kirk Cousins type guy if taken in a round where he wasn't forced to show he was THE GUY from day 1 with the pressure of being that highly drafted.
As a Broncos fan, I'd also add Paxton Lynch, although admittedly he was near the end of the 1st round as I recall. But, as I also recall, the Broncos traded up to get him.
