You think Dion Jordan was hoping Chip drafted him?

[Melchior]

He almost looks disgusted that Miami picked him.

[Loki]

Watching all the Jordan Jerking in that vid...

after he was drafted.

Didn't he pretty much suck for Miami? I know the B word was thrown about quite often after the season.

[Melchior]

Yeah, I don't know. Apparently Gamble and Chip were really high on him, but I don't know what the deal is with him in Miami.

[Brandonn]

Terrible pick for Miami's scheme. Would be great at the 34 pass rushing LB...you know the position he is actually good at.

[BigSlizz]

I think like others mention, scheme was a big factor, but I believe he also missed a lot of preseason time because of his surgeries that he had in the months before.

Not exactly setting him up for rookie success.

I could've sworn going into the draft he was a project pick based on lingering injuries and lack of experience. Not expected to really do much in his first year or two but the potential was so high that he was still considered a top 5 pick. Wouldn't mind if the Phins gave up on him early and he ended up an Eagle.

[The Ref]

Great players excel no matter the scheme. If Jordan is only a system guy, then he's not a great player. I dunno... if I'm drafting a guy 3rd overall I expect a great player. Maybe it's just me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt re: injury recovery but not excuse his poor play because of system. And make no mistake, he played poorly last year.

[BigSlizz]

A rookie missing his first preseason is a big deal.

Time will tell. One thing for sure is I would not trade for him just yet. From what we've seen so far, Brandon Graham is better than him.

Expectations and reality are often different

3rd picks of the draft

Vince Young
Braylon Edwards
Tyson Jackson
Gerald McCoy
Trent Richardson

OR

Joe Thomas
Matt Ryan
Larry Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson

[BigSlizz]

Richardson has an excuse. He's still recovering from the hit he put on Coleman in his first game.
