Dolphins floatin Dion Jordan in trades,possibly Wake&Wallace

It's only been a year and the fact that they're open to letting him go...

According to Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com, the Dolphins are “gauging trade value” for 2013 first-round pick Dion Jordan.

As in, third overall pick Dion Jordan.

Yet, Jeff Ireland still wonders why people wanted him gone.

If they wanted something real like a 3rd or 4th I'd pound for the hawks to do it, Pete could do some amazing things with that dudes athleticism.

That was the hope with Aaron Curry, too. Who knows if Dion is even up to Curry's rookie level.

Dion Jordan as our LEO :3:

If I were the Dolphins, I'd plan on drafting a QB (even trading up), then shopping Tannehill after the fact. A good QB could save the Wallace investment (maybe).

If I had Tannehil I would see no use for Wallace.

I would guess that Schneider has at least inquired about him. Phenomenal talent needing to add strength and weight to his frame. That is very difficult to do when coming off a severe shoulder injury prior to starting his rookie year. Still has 3 years left on his rookie deal, a very good position to be in salary cap wise.

If they are foolish enough to trade him, I would be comfortable with giving our 2nd and conditional 5th rounder next year (escalates to a 4th if he reaches certain milestones, stays at 5th if he doesn't).

With KJ Wright's free agency looming next year, Jordan may be able to be groomed into his replacement. Dropping into coverage was something he did regularly at Oregon and was considered a strength of his coming into the league.

Dion Jordan seems tailor made to play LEO. Is he healthy now? He must have a pretty heft cap hit still as the #3 pick.

4 years, 20 million (13 guaranteed).

Reading his bio, there's mention that Kelly seriously considered taking him at #4. He may well end up in Philly.

Derek Stephens and Davis Hsu discussed Jordan post draft last year. Stephens claims that according to people he knew in the Hawks scouting department, they were not high on Jordan. At least as far as first round talent goes had they not traded it for Harvin.

I keep reading that as well. I think it's more lazy "journalism" than anything. Much like every USC player was predicted to end up a Hawk because of Carroll.

Except Kelly seems to have stated it: The guy that went No. 3, we were considering very heavily but didn’t get the chance to pull the trigger on that one," stated Kelly in a post-draft press conference.

Wallace too! Already have buyers remorse eh? Guy is overpaid and I bet they would rather replace Wallace in the Draft. If the Cowboys or skins have room they like to overpay!

No thanks to Jordan or Wallace, but Seattle should at least make a call for Cameron Wake. He's one of the very best pass rushers in the NFL and is only making a little over $8 million a season in the remaining 3 years of his deal. He's one of the biggest bargains in the NFL among 2nd contract guys.
