‘E’ trades: Ranking the worst deals involving draft picks in Dolphins history
Yesterday we brought you the best deals the Dolphins made involving draft picks. Today, equal time goes to the blooper reel — the deals the Dolphins wish they could take back, either because of what they gave up or what little they received in return.
1. DE Dion Jordan (2013)
Merely selecting Jordan, who has given the Dolphins nothing and spent infinitely more time on the suspended list than the field, is a blunder in and of itself. But moving up from 12th to third overall to take Jordan is borderline criminal. The move cost the Dolphins the 12th and 42nd picks. True, Oakland did nothing with those selections, taking CB D.J. Hayden and OT Menelik Watson, but whom would you rather have: Jordan or DT Sheldon Richardson and RB Le’Veon Bell, both of whom were available with Miami’s original draft slots? If you’re wondering why the Dolphins never make the playoffs, moves like this explain it.
2. QB Daunte Culpepper (2006)
We’ll make this brief to ease your pain. On paper, Culpepper cost the Dolphins a second-round pick. In reality, need we mention the QB Nick Saban sent away in favor of Culpepper? (Hint: Last name rhymes with ‘Geez.’)
