Dion Jordan suspended for 2015 season

It is even more unbelievable because it was a first and second round picks.

I think its time to fire the entire scouting department and get some guys who can find talent because its stuff like this that drags this franchise down.

They should've traded him when they might have gotten at least a late draft pick for him before or during the 2014 season. Or maybe it was already too late.

someone humor me and tell me players taken right after him that would have helped us.

Look at the 2013 draft, close your eyes, and throw a dart. Chances are that player would have contributed more than Jordan.

oh that's right I have been blocking out that bastard the memories just keep on biting us in the ass.

did ireland even do any homework on this kid?

Well, Dion Jordan should be entering the public workforce with the rest of us peasants soon enough....my thoughts....

Supposedly (according to bleacher report)...we were nearing a trade to Philly for him. So did we know this was coming and we're purposely hiding information? If so the league, and/or media is going to have a big problem with this.

Coming to a fast food joint near you...Dolphins draft bust Dion Jordan.

Wait for it.....

In all seriousness though, agree with all those who have concluded biggest bust in Dolphins history. In my lifetime of being a Dolphins fan, Yatil Green is the only one who comes close, but his bust status was just bad luck with injuries and out of his control. Dion Jordan is just a ****ing moron. Drafting someone that stupid really adds to the bust factor.

I would have thought that between Jordan and Ansah Jordan would have been the better player. I'm apparently a dumbass.

It looked like Philly would of traded for this guy. Still, I'll take Jordan over Gholston any day of the week.

well I thought the Eddie Moore or John Avery pick was bad but this is twice as bad as those picks .

this should move the dolphins to re evaluate the scouting department even if this was all Ireland's fault .

I think it more likely that they were working on a deal but it fell through because they were notified of this. It's likely they've known about this for a while.

What's kind of bust is worse? Potential talent that's wasted by being a moron(Jordan) or just not being a very good in the NFL(Goldston)?

So, does this mean we now have about 2 mil more in cap room? (his salary plus roster bonus)

To me, the player throwing it away is the worst. Simply sucking is next, and then lastly injury.

Agreed.

Yeah well I hope we werent trying to get rid of tainted goods without telling Philly (I guess the league wouldn't approve that anyways?) I just don't want it to make us look even worse, per usual....

Yeah that would be bad.

The fact is that Jordan hasn't been that good when he did play. There are only two or three plays he made over the past two years where you even knew he was on the field.

To me Jordan is the bigger bust because he played for the team I root for. Whereas Goldston was drafted by a team I can't stand and I actually enjoyed the fact he was a bust for the Jets.

Didn't we sorta do that with Bess?
The front office knew he had some 'issues' and pawned them off on someone else

So.. does this mean we target a DE in the first round now? We need one...

I think in a 34 scheme Jordan could've been a productive player. We'll likely never know now. He was the wrong pick, at the wrong time. We needed OL help and WR more than we needed a DE/LB. Even if we picked any of the top OL guys and they became busts (like aome think of Lane Johnson/Luke Joekel/Greg Robinson) at least they would've fit a need. The pick didn't make a lick of sense now matter that we got "good value" out of the trade.

well then i think hes a legit argument for biggest bust all time considering what we gave up for him.

We could have stayed put and drafted Kyle Long... kept our second round pick... and still signed Branden Albert.. our offensive line would have been top 5 easily.. And who knows what our second round pick could have been.. LeVeon Bell or Eddie Lacy or Johnthan Banks, Kiko Alonso... just a waste..
