Phins looking to trade Jordan

[Sleepy T]

Actually 260 pounds is quite light for a 4-3 defensive end. If we lose Rak he is the next best option. #34 pick is a small price to pay for Jordans upside. He is better than any other OLB in the draft. This is only creditable if we lose Rak.

I admit, I know little about this guy, and I agree, he has the upside and measurables to warrant that pick. why do you think he is better than any other OLB in this draft Dean??? Because he was a Top 5 pick?? Once again, I would expect the #3 overall pick to contribute much much more than he did last year. You expect those guys to be starters and at least significant contributors on Day 1.

b/c Jordans measurables and draft grade is significantly better than any other OLB in this draft. Just b/c he didn't fit in right away with the Dolphins doesn't mean you write the guy off. Plus he is in the wrong scheme which means a lot for a rookie. If we lose Rak its such a no brainer move.

 

[Sleepy T]

I agree, IF we lose Rak, it should be considered. But if he really does have that kind of upside, then other teams will notice and probably have more to offer than we would. A Top 5 pick a year ago for a 2nd rounder just seems like it would be too good to be true.

 

[deanpet21]

well its the 2nd pick in the 2nd round, nothing to sneeze at. If I was Philly I would give up my 1st for him. They should get a 1st for him but if they don't we are the next best thing.

He did nothing as a top three pick in the NFL draft...why would anybody give up a first for him?

Robert Mathis- 6'2" 245 pounds
Robert Quinn- 6'4" 264 pounds
John Abraham- 6'4" 262 pounds
Shaun Phillips- 6'3" 253 pounds
Elvis Dumervil- 5'11" 260 pounds
Cliff Avril- 6'3" 260 pounds
Cameron Wake- 6'3" 260 pounds and he's the 32 year old the Dolphins are keeping.

You see...your statement is simply false.

 

[deanpet21]

point taken. there are some 3-4 guys on that list. if we lose rak he should be considered.

 

[gkekoa]

Mathis wasn't a 3-4 guy until this season. And he played the historically strong side at 245.


Dumervill has played in both.


Wake is the only one without 403 experience and he's being kept at 32 over Jordan...this speaks volumes.

 

[deanpet21]

It has been rumors that the Phins want draft picks to move up in the draft to get an olineman. I wouldn't write off Jordan after one season.

 

[gkekoa]

I wouldn't waste my time taking up a guy that did so little and waste our best capital for him.
