Dear Earth,
The 2015 NFL Draft is Thursday. I’m so nervous… Its not just about the draft. Its also because the deadline for my report to the Alpha Alien is due. I’ve thought about it for months. What will I report to the Alpha Alien? What did I learn is the best way to destroy the Earth?
Well, you will be relieved to hear: I’ve decided to spare Earth…at least until after the 2015 NFL Draft. I’m going to file a report with the Alpha Alien. But I’m going to tell him that I created a new way to destroy the Earth which involves the slow decay of their culture until Earthling Brains turn to mush.
But I won’t do a thing. I don’t have to. Keeping up with the Kardashians has been on TV for years now. The Alpha Alien will give me credit for that and I get to watch football a little longer.
To celebrate, let’s take a look back at all the prospects we scouted this season!
The Wide Receivers
The Linebackers
And More Linebackers
The Defensive Backs
The Big Men
And the Tight Ends and Backs
Enjoy The NFL Draft, Its only 2 Days Away!!!

This is epically disappointing. To think, we had a deal in place for his sorry ass. That really frustrates me. I hate that useless POS
Thank you, i was just curious…. like I said whatever it is , it does not change the fact he’s a moron..

Yep. Watch how they laud the Patriots for drafting DGB, Jaelen Collins, or Shayne Ray.

Sad News..
Ok more accurate cap number:
@flasportsbuzz: As cap guru Joel Corry says, Dolphins’ $5.3 M 2015 cap hit for Jordan becomes $3.1 million. Extra space leaves Fins with $12 M in space.
Was likely for Jordan, now that deal is toast. But Mathis may get released anyhow. But Mychal Kendricks probably won’t.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Eagles LG Evan Mathis recently came up in trade talks with the Dolphins.
Per reporter Jeff McLane, Mathis’ name was “discussed.” It’s the second time in two months Mathis has been connected to the Dolphins, but it doesn’t appear a trade is imminent. Mathis is skipping voluntary workouts as Chip Kelly decides his future. Mathis’ release remains a possibility.
Toba.. Did you still have Leaky Anus from Your Puerto Villarta trip ? Hope all is well and that you and the wifey had a blast !!!
Yes we did have a very good time.. resort was very posh.. almost too much.. as for Laeky Anus NO , I stayed away from drinking water .. 🙂
I get the shits as soon as I fly into their air-space.
Strong North wind would prolly do it to ya as well..
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
A plugged-in friend of mine just crystalized the Dolphins’ issues: They spent ~$70M on Jordan, Ellerbe, Wheeler and Wallace. 2013=disaster
Does plugged-in mean he has a vibrator that doesn’t operate on batteries?
Not to mention the other failed/failing draft picks.

————————————
Hated the team he was on, loved the guy. Great competitor.
It’s not the end of the line though, depends on severity. My mentor was diagnosed like five years ago and he is still kicking like anything.
Instant ass leaker.
magazine.foxnews.com/sites/magazine.foxnews.com/files/styles/700_image/public/smotheredburritodine.jpg
@#$% great…now Jordan’s trade value is less than a bag of Wise potato chips.
Less than a bag of stupid half eaten potato chips
That is sad about Gibson. Always admired the fire he played with. Not like the fire Dion Jordan played with.
So what’s your plan for your #95 jersey? LOL
A little different than the plan for your Clay jersey.
I’m hoping some other good player gets that number, and I’ll change the name.
Moral of the story – DON’T BUY A DOLPHINS JERSEY!!!
Honestly Mike just eat 2doz hot wings Thursday night and use it for a napkin. After that dig a shallow hole in your back yard and put the jersey in there uncovered. Then the next morning when the wings kick in and you’re having that lower intestinal spasm and your ass starts sweating make your way to the backyard and empty your contents on the jersey…..then cover with the remaining dirt.
Well, at least the suspension was revealed before the draft and not after…
Good point
Certainly does leave other teams wonder whether we’ll be looking to pluck falling DEs.
dbolt, I was just thinking about what to do with my Clay jersey last night. I could change the name because it’s a quality jersey. So I’ll wait for the next #42.
Watch we’ll draft Tyler Varga and he’s be #42. LOL
LOL.
Still prefer the suggestion I gave Mike above.
LOL
If we do I’ll buy it from you!
Non-Quiz of the day…..who said it after the 2nd suspension but before his last walk down Duval Street?
“I am currently undergoing treatment to address my situation. I am working hard to become a better man and to make better choices in the future. I am especially looking forward to returning to the team. I also want to thank my family, Coach Philbin and the Miami Dolphins organization for their support.”
Does make one wonder what the situation is though.
LOL @ Tim and Valiant Varga
He’s be #42, that’s how they talk at Yale. LOL
LOL – Especially the football players.
“Moral of the story – DON’T BUY A DOLPHINS JERSEY!!!”
Unless it is a #2. 🙂
I think the whole team has been #2 the last decade or so. 😉
LOL — it’s a hit, but only on the unexplored potential. Not like he did much last year.
Maybe we can get a guy like Geno Grissom with one of our 5th round picks. He has the potential to be what we hoped Jordan was supposed to be.
McCain
RE: DBolt 2:53 NICE !!!!
LMAO @ D-Bolt!
I’m going to buy some new apparel with just our logo on it, no more player jerseys for me. I’ll represent the entire fucking team. Then when they suck I’ll shit on all of them. LOL
I bought a #13 and put MY last name on it.. it will be relevant until I am not.. 🙂
Tim,
Nobody is more at fault than Jordan. Simple as that. I didn’t like the trade to get him because it gave up critical 2nd round pick and it didn’t address a big need. Just me, but I only move up for a guy that fills a big void and is a special talent. Everyone was in love with the athleticism of Jordan in college, but he wasn’t even the tenth best player on Oregon in terms of production. I also remember reading Ireland talking about how they had no clue they could move up to 3 until minutes before the pick. Hard to imagine the FO had really done their homework on the guy like they should have. It all felt forced to me. Had we taken Lane Johnson I still would have hated the pick, but at least it would have filled a need.
Not a ton of blame on the coaches other than not being able to find a way to utilize the guy better. He didn’t do squat as a DE and we had a distinct need at LB. Felt like a missed opportunity there to get him involved and maybe that would have changed his attitude a bit. Probably not though.
Incredibly stupid kid. And not really going to defend Ireland — cause I though he was a bad scheme fit — but Jordan seemed a high character guy. Never saw this coming.
Well there had to be some concerns after blowing himself up with a ShopVac
I think his lack of production has answers now. Coaching was never going to get it out of him.
Yeah only thing that would have sucked more was if he was actually an integral part of the team. Kinda stings less for me since i knew he was a goner anyways and hadnt done shit for us.
Agreed to this…
Mike E dumping his #95 jersey by going with #2.
LOL
Is this dude crapping on an invisible conveyer belt? And what the hell did he eat, because I will never be eating it!
LOL @ GDP!
Manitoba – That’s a smart move
Not that a # 13 could ever be Irrelevant …
Stanger,
I really don’t remember much about him pre-draft other than watching him play for Oregon and then wondering how in the hell he was being talked about as such a high pick. This isn’t the NBA. Drafting a guy based mostly on potential is risky business.
Do you remember the interview with Ireland after the draft? He was asked if he ever had regrets about not drafting a player in a particular draft, and Ireland said Jordan would be that guy if he missed out on him.
I agree, but that is not the real downfall here. You buy a car and are worried that it is a risk cause of the wear on the engine, harder to say you were right when you learn the frame was bent.
I think car example is a good one, everyone looked at Jordan like a Ferrari, they saw the potential of that Ferrari and were lined up to buy it. We jumped in front of the line and got it without really taking the precautions of taking it for a thorough drive. It turned out to be a lemon and now we are bemoaning the purchase. That does not change that the trade itself was awful, we just should have selected Ansah instead lol.
D — have a feeling that we are going to be reminding everyone we were on the Ziggy bus for decades to come. 🙂
I still think the trade was a good one, obviously now the pick was an awful one, but given all the info they had on him, he had all the talent and we all know how shitty Ireland was as a people evaluator. I knew immediately after Hickey had signed we had a better people person, and i think his talent evaluation seems pretty good as well.
What we gave up for the trade-up was good value.
Risky indeed. It just blew up in our face.
DRG, the Jordan pick did fill a need, who knew OV was going to produce like he did? I loved him coming out of college, but what he did as a rookie didn’t suggest he would blow up in yr 2.
The buy now bid for one “Autographed Dion Jordan Dolphins Game Used Jersey” is $1,249.95 on ebay right now. Anyone looking to bargain shop……I’ll offer up the link.
That’s gonna fall fast over night.
I still hope we trade down, have more picks to hit on with this better FO.
Face it, we still need to replace a couple more of Jeffro’s not so good acquisitions.
I call BS
@FANtasyTandem: Also can confirm that Dion Jordan is no longer allowed in Dolphins facility. A trade imminent. Stay tuned…
Got to be old news he’s going off of….LOL
You would think
Actually it was from yesterday…just showed up on my feed
We can keep our fingers crossed… if it happens will NOT be huge compensation…
In other news WWII is over. LOL
The suspension costs Jordan $3,335,418 in signing-bonus forfeiture and $2,275,209 in salary for 2015. Since none of this money was guaranteed, because of the previous suspensions, what is his dead money?
There goes his future drug money…SMH!
@flasportsbuzz: Dolphins summoned Duke Johnson to their offices today because conflict with a Colts workout prevented him from attending Fins’ local pro day
I have to admit I DESPISE when people separate the value of the trade from the pick. It makes no sense whatsover, when the value of the trade is what you get from the actual player you traded for. Who cares if you traded to #3 from #14 and all you gave up was your 2nd RD pick if the guy you draft at #3 sucks? Why it’s even mentioned baffles me. We THREW AWAY a 1st and 2nd RD pick for NOTHING. End of story!
Huh?
Why despise it? I hate how it ended it up, but how much you spend for a pick and how the pick turns out are two different subjects.
It makes perfect sense, if you don’t think about it… Seriously though the value from the trade up and value of the pick are 2 completely different things, if not how would you even evaluate Ireland based on the trade. What went wrong? Surely it was the pick and not the compensation.
What Mike is talking about is the bottom line, the bottom line is Ireland fucked us up, again.
Mike E. says:

I actually have a fond memory of Walker calling me after we took Ryan Tannehill at #8

Yeah, great day to bring that up….smh
LOL!
Hey is that Mutombo’s half brother? 😉
I thought about a similar comment early this morning, but any acknowledgement of anything associated with that part of the past is more advertisement than is deserved. The quicker it is forgotten, the faster it becomes irrelevant.
Try — you said that so much better than I did.
ffr – Know it was a joke, but past history (and we both know from where the drama came) . And far as I am concerned the new world is a better one……enjoy no longer watching the Housewives of The Mob Board.
Mike E, Stanger…lesson learned for any GM watching. It’s easy enough to screw up a draft pick and have it bust on you. But when you trade up, especially into the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd….you better know FOR SURE what you’re getting!
Make sure you get three psychic opinions.
…yeah, and then still pray over it…lol
We lose a good STs player, but really not much more, and when you weigh in what his salary would’ve been we may be getting lucky, except for the fact that he would’ve been traded to the Eagles (if you believe that report), so…
Omar says it’s going to cost us money to cut him, it was either $1 mil or $100,000, but I think Omar doesn’t know what he’s talking about, because it makes no sense. His guaranteed money was voided, because of the suspensions, so I don’t think there’s any dead money.
Actually tried to check out the rules on this and couldn’t find them. But am guessing from what Abramson and the rest said the hit would be the left over hit from the signing bonus.
The mystery is what did he actually get paid so far in signing bonus?
$13,341,680 — all in one big fat check. Cap Qs aside, what I’m not certain of is if he now has to give a bunch of it back. Thinking we have a Ricky situation.
maybe mike e can put up in his Ask Mike blog the rules of joking on here. since some of you get so offended so easy maybe he can spell out the rules for me.
ffr — don’t think anyone was offended…..just encouraging look forward.
If it makes you feel better I wasn’t offended!
But I did use the reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck him
Make him come back and pick up gum wrappers in 2016 to pay the signing bonus back!
Seriously though, didn’t Ricky have to come back rather than pay back some money?
Yeah he played it off. LOL
GD, why did you say to ffr great day to bring that up?
Cause we’re all pissed @ Jordan’s 800lb gorilla/elephant in the room.
I dunno, my head is spinning. Phins can’t catch a friggin break can we…ugh.
So you phuckers can stop calling me stupid for saying DE is in play all along.
FU Jordan, I hope the hottie on the boat dumps your sorry ass.
I may agree with the DE now!
The other? Na!! 😉
You hurt my feelings very badly
In a really odd way…..this just opened up our draft even more. Right now the only one we wouldn’t take in the top 20 are the QBs, but if one falls our way we’d get value.
I never saw anyone call you stupid, dimwitted and half retard, but definitely not stupid. LOL
Those I understand, lol
Mike E is no doubt adding comments on Dion Jordan to his Ask Mike Draft article. LOL
I know FFR was joking…I laughed & then had a cynical reply. All is good.
Go Phins!
So it takes minutes to suspend Jordan for the season but the league can’t figure out what the hell to do with a team that blatantly cheats. FU NFL stop ruining our game.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
One team failed UCLA LB Eric Kendricks medically due to a knee issue, according to Bob McGinn.
“Tough, quick, sudden, plays fast,” one scout told McGinn. “Just hurt all the time.” This is the first time we have read anything regarding Kendricks’ medicals. He made 42 starts during his time at UCLA. Many quotes cited by McGinn discuss Kendricks’ lack of size. Excuse our bias, but we don’t see the issue. He is 6’0/232 lbs. We think Kendricks should be a first round pick, but a top 50 selection is more realistic.
Could be the team that plans to draft him….lol
In recent days we were discussing that we’d likely move Jordan. Well his tenure here is likely over it just sucks we’ll get nothing for him. This doesn’t change the outlook I have for the team this year because he already wasn’t part of it.
It doesn’t my feeling although I was looking forward to a break put season for him since Suh arrived. Jordan is just a selfish dumbass.
To me the biggest downer here is how close we were to getting something for him….like literally it seemed like it was down to hours maybe. End result is he will be gone, that hasn’t changed, we also are better for not having a guy like that on our team, that hasn’t changed. So bemoaning it really is either revisionist griping about shit thats been done for a couple years now (ie the trade up) or because we didn’t get anything in return. I liked thinking it might be a 3rd round pick, and probably would piss me off if i heard what the proposed details were and it actually be a 2nd or 3rd, but reality probably was we weren’t going to get much of anything for him so meh, im over it.
Loathe as I am to defend the twin pariahs Bazooka Joe and Coyle, I cannot blame them for failing to coax greatness out of the wonderful gift Jeffy bestowed on them. A lazy, unmotivated drug addict who was injured and put up largely unimpressive numbers at Oregon. Regularly mediocre teams do not have the luxury of pissing away high draft picks on “potential” and little else.

D, the test Jordan failed may have been for the trade.
Possibly, but i think that wouldnt have been turned in to the NFL.
That would have been a private Eagles evaluation and i dont think they would have turned it in to the NFL, perhaps they would have called off the trade and told the dolphins why but i dont think the NFL would have been involved.
Belicheat had something to do with this Jordan thing. He didn’t want to see us trade with Philly for Mathis or Kendricks.
I think it was just a cosmic fuck job timing wise, normal NFL process that turned up bad at a very bad time for us.
Yup, but odd the timing as all things Belicheat.
Stanger …LOL … I am certain that Bazooka Joe and Cautious Kevin will provide me with ample opportunities to spew blame, bile and venom …

Dion Jordan attended Chandler High School in Chandler, Arizona. He played both tight end and defensive end. He caught 54 passes for 804 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior.
Steve
Thanks for explaining what I mean. I totally understand the merits of getting value on a trade, but the end result of the trade is what you get out of the player, because the pieces you traded to get that player become immaterial once the trade is done, and all you have is the player, and you don’t have the picks used to get that player. If the player sucks, the trade sucks, I don’t see any logic in any other perspective. Just like with DT, even i the points on the trade chart showed that we got the best of the team we traded with points wise, that means nothing if the player we got didn’t play, and now with Dion Jordan, this the 2nd time we got the short end of the stick on the player obtained from a trade up. Lamar Miller, on the other hand was a good trade up. I couldn’t give a rats ass what the point value was of the trade up for him was, because we got a good player out of it. That’s what counts, and ALL that counts, unless you really overpaid to trade up.
You’re killin’ me Mike 😛
Killing you softly, strumming your pain with his fingers? LOL
Agreed, who was praising the value of the trade today?
The bottom line is how well the player performs, but if you want to evaluate how well your GM does regarding trade value, then it is relevant to discuss what it took to get to #3. It may not mean anything to Mike, but Ireland landed on another team based on his ability to get value when trading.
The best value and most prescient pick, a truly wise hedging of your bet, was Hickey selecting Fede in the 7th round. I feel he had an idea things could very well sour on Jordan at some point.
If Fede comes on in his 2nd-3rd year, then it will totally mitigate that damage by Jeffro…Brilliant Move if so!
Go Hickey!
Go Fede and McCain. Hopefully these two guys will help us forget all about Jordan.
…and a twelve dollar word
With the emergence of OV Jordan has always been a whatever situation, since Jordan was insurance in case OV didn’t become a play-a (not beach).
Mikes only pissed about the trade now because of the Jersey investment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. He’ll feel better Friday morning after doing what I suggested!
He should find this doggy. LOL
http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/Ronanfalcon/media/Net%20Images/GIF/dog-tail-lift-shit.gif.html
Another trade example like us trading for Jordan instead of staying put: Do you want Todd Gurley for half a season or Phillip Dorsett & Denzel Perryman for the entire season? Some say you take the blue chipper, but it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m leaning toward Dorsett and Perryman.
Dave George ✔ @Dave_GeorgePBP
Of all the No. 3 overall selections since 1970 #NFL draft, #DionJordan is least impactful with 1 start. 2nd worst is 9. Akili Smith had 17.
Another point against stats. Starts doesn’t equal success. Jordan didn’t get it done at DE, but he did a great job of covering Gronk and on STs, Smith never did shit. Jordan wasn’t awful, he just didn’t live up to his draft status.
This is just sad.
“The Orioles announced that Wednesday’s game against the White Sox will be played, but it will not be open to the public.”

I’m not hating on my friends here, I just don’t see what the point is bringing up the value of he trade up, when the end result is the most impotant thing. we might have gotten 2 impact players, or at least starting caliber players, but instead, we got ZERO.
Gotcha! Yeah the bottom line is production of the player. That trade was a failure.
No the trade was a success the use of the obtained pick was the failure.
Nope .. Here is the bottom line..
http://s1042.photobucket.com/user/Ronanfalcon/media/Net%20Images/GIF/dog-tail-lift-shit.gif.html
I hate the end result too. Just pointing out that the actual trade and who we picked are different subjects. And heck……I didn’t even want us to trade-up.

———————————-
Was me, and i still hold the value of the trade was there, we simply selected the wrong person. I think they are completely independent. If i trade up to 3 and get a guy who produces while only giving up a 2nd, or i trade up and get the same guy giving up a 2nd 3 and next years 1, then we may still have the same guy but what we gave up hurts us more in the long run….so independent of what we got, the impact and value is very different.

Would you be more pissed if it had cost us 3 1st round picks? If you say yes you are admitting the trade value matters and that its different from the failure of the pick.
Right, but that’s not what I’m complaining about. I mentioned if you overpaid for the trade, that’s not good either, but the good value on the trade becomes cancelled out when the player doesn’t pan out. The value of the trade no longer has any value, because the player you chose with the pick acquired didn’t work.

Ok i see your point now i think, i still feel they are separate from one another, just because one is done in the here and now and the other is looking back after knowing how shit turns out, but i definitely get your view point now.
The bottom line is the move to trade up and acquire Jordan didn’t pan out.
But it also didn’t devastate us.
No because we’re kind of past it.

Compare the Jordan trade up and the Skins trading up for RGIII, one was a bad pick the other was a bad decision that’s going to cost that franchise for yrs to come.
But as Mike has been saying it’s just about the bottom line, really?

The bottom line is the move to trade up and acquire Jordan didn’t pan out.
this is why i read your post. this type of inhuman intelligent insight is just breathtaking.
LOL
Let’s go back and revisit who we could have picked with the #42 pick in 2013 so we all get more pissed off. LOL
And the 12th pick
That was already done a few days ago wasn’t it? LOL
Yeah Steve – Tell ’em! 🙂
Since we took Jamar Taylor in the 2nd I would think we would’ve taken DJ Hayden or Star or Sheldon Richardson, then Kiko Alonzo in the 2nd, yikes we fd up.
Stop it!

WOW…
Sounds like they weren’t saving much money overall anyhow. And now they don’t have to tell us how much Godell is making.
Thanks D – Appreciate it

thats fine you do that. but i am just going to warn you if you look back be ready for they vile hatred and harsh comments for stanger.
Why was a punter available?
No but there were some this year that made Fields shave a little off the top or he would potentially have been gone, Im glad it worked out the way it did, i like Fields a lot, but it was going to be hard continuing to have a higher salary at punter.
LOL ffr — you know me too well. I vomit all over people like the girl in The Exorcist. 🙂
Fuck you Jordan. Hands down the worst pick in Dolphins history.
Brian’s pissed off. LOL
maybe colonpokey should write a special piece
WELL, WELL, WELL, is ANYBODY really surprised that Jeff Ireland’s last “Great Acquisition” has become one of the biggest draft mistakes in Dolphin history???? Of course this particular fiasco pales by comparison to Ross’s decision TO RETAIN BOTH IRELAND & SPARANO two years after both had proven to me they were unfit for the jobs they had!!! WHEN you think of all the serious damage Ireland did to this once-great franchise, DON’T OVERLOOK the man who helped make it possible, STEVE ROSS who, with the advice of Metamucil Carl Peterson, decided to retain numb-brain Ireland long after his incompetence was proven beyond a doubt!!!
————-
Someone up the page said that the Philbin haters are going to put the blame for this awful deal on Philbin. – – WRONG AGAIN!!!!! – – The blame for this rests on ROSS, who COULD have replaced Ireland 2 years earlier and avoided several of Jeffroe’s draft day disasters!!. –But let us NOT forget Mr. Philbin. –MORE LATER AFTER DINNER!!
Police want to question La’el Collins for the murder of his ex-girlfriend. He is not currently considered a suspect.
seriously?
TRY..
I’d tell the police she dumped me for some pro player named Hernandez and that I haven’t heard from her since..
You gotta be kidding me?
Man — when Brian starts swearing I know it is a tough day for the board. It’s like the Monday after an overtime loss to the Ravens.
Hes still pissed the Islanders are out…
That was a tough loss last night.
I was thinkin of ya… Need my red Winds ta get their shit together now.. They are my adopted team, from the period that Winnipeg did not have a team… Basically at this point ANYONE BUT MONTREAL !!!!!
Lol! At least my Mets are giving me hope!
A certain draft pick could make me forget about Jordan by midnight Thursday…
Just think of that Mets win from last night. That was sweet!
Damn Try – I thought you were joking. It doesn’t seem like he’s in any trouble, probably just want some info if he has any.
He isnt a suspect currently but dude being the BF of a pregnant GF is how almost all the forensic files start moving towards conviction lol. Id say a good 90% of the stories that have murdered pregnant ex girlfriends always trace back to the former B, the other 10% of the time it traces back to another one of his ont the side women.
He has an alibi that places him no where near where she was shot, not that it helps him not be involved but that does look good for him for sure.
2013 was not a good year to decide to put eggs in one basket.
——————————-
1. Eric Fisher, OL (Kansas City Chiefs) — Fisher has started consistently for the Chiefs but hasn’t distinguished himself. ESPN’s Mel Kiper said last year that Fisher wouldn’t have gone in the top-eight of the 2014 Draft.
2. Luke Joeckel, OL (Jacksonville Jaguars) — After missing almost all of his rookie year with an injury, Joeckel started all 16 games on a Jacksonville line that finished dead last in pass protection in 2014.
3. Dion Jordan, DE (Miami Dolphins) — Jordan barely got onto the field in his rookie year. He was suspended six games in 2014 and played only 20% of his team’s snaps. Now he’s out for all of 2015.
4. Lane Johnson, OL (Philadelphia Eagles) — While he hasn’t made a Pro Bowl, he has been a solid starter on an Eagles line that improved dramatically when Chip Kelly got there.
5. Ziggy Ansah, DE (Detroit Lions) — He’s probably the player on this list with the most potential. He has 15.5 sacks in his first two years and saw his playing time increase in 2014.
6. Barkevious Mingo, LB (Cleveland Browns) — He’s not the dominant edge rusher they thought he’d be, picking up just 2.0 sacks in 2014 in 11 starts.
7. Jonathan Cooper, OL (Arizona Cardinals) — Only played 17.4% of his team’s snaps in 2014 after missing his rookie year with a broken leg.
8. Tavon Austin, WR (St. Louis Rams) — He hasn’t been the electrifying playmaker many though he would be. He has started 11 games in two years, making just 31 catches in 2014.
9. Dee Milliner, CB (New York Jets) — After a tumultuous rookie year Milliner was benched in 2014 and only played 11.4% of his team’s snaps.
10. Chance Warmack, OL (Tennessee Titans) — He has started all 16 games both years.
Im just upset that this might actually affect our draft strategy. I know they had to be counting on whatever they were going to get for Jordan as part of their trade up/trade down moves.I think i had pretty much already relegated myself to accepting Jordan never would pan out for us, i just hate it affects our draft.
I am disappointed in Jordan. I have always held out hope that he would use the tremendous athletic ability he has to develop into a quality player. I hold no more hope for him.
