Cardinals make Caleb Wilson 'Mr. Irrelevant' as final pick of 2019 draft
The Arizona Cardinals kicked off the 2019 NFL Draft by picking Kyler Murray, and ended the three-day event Saturday by making UCLA tight end Caleb Wilson this year's "Mr. Irrelevant."
The 254th pick caught 114 passes for 1,675 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons with the Bruins. He rounded out an 11-man class for Arizona headlined by Murray, cornerback Byron Murphy, and receivers Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler.
Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop, the final pick in 2009, announced Wilson's selection in Nashville.
So I've covered three #AZCardinals drafts in which they had the chance to pick Mr. Irrelevant. All three have been tight ends.

2001 - BYU's Tevita Ofahengaue
2015 - Louisville's Gerald Christian
2019 - UCLA's Caleb Wilson
And yes, that is probably an irrelevant fact.
The title is given to the last pick in every draft dating back to 1976, and the player selected in the spot takes part in a week's long summer celebration in Newport Beach, Calif.
