Breaking down one of the riskiest draft moves (pick or trading picks, trading back, etc.) by the Miami Dolphins over the past 25 years:

Round/overall selection: First, third

Did the risk pay off? The Dolphins pulled off a shocker on draft day in 2013 when they moved up nine spots, from No. 12 overall, to land former Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan with the third pick. The team didn't have a need for a defensive end. Starter Cameron Wake was in his prime and coming off a 15-sack Pro Bowl season in 2012, and Olivier Vernon was a budding talent coming into his own. (Vernon signed an $82 million contract with the New York Giants this offseason.) However, former Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said he had his eye on Jordan since his sophomore year and was enamored with his talent and potential. It was a major mistake that the team is still paying for three years later. Jordan came to Miami with a significant shoulder injury. The Dolphins didn't view it as a problem, but it hampered Jordan during parts of his rookie season. Jordan's decisions off the field were undeniably an issue. He was suspended six games in 2014 for violating the NFL's performance enhancement and substance abuse policies. In 2015, Jordan was suspended the entire season for being a repeat offender in the league's substance abuse program. The team isn't even sure if Jordan wants to play football again in 2016 once his suspension is lifted. In all, Jordan had just three sacks in 26 career games and was one of the biggest draft gaffes in recent memory.

Was there a safer move? Absolutely. The Dolphins could have simply held their ground and kept their original first- and second-round picks in 2013. There were plenty of standout players still on the board at No. 12 overall, most notably defensive tackles Sheldon Richardson and Star Lotulelei. Either pick would have saved the Dolphins a ton of money and cap room, because they wound up paying $114 million to fill that hole two years later in free agency with Ndamukong Suh. The team also lost a valuable second-round pick that could have been an additional building block for the future. Among the future Pro Bowl players Miami could have drafted in that round include linebacker Jamie Collins, running back Le'Veon Bell and tight end Travis Kelce. It's worth noting that the team currently has question marks -- albeit to different degrees -- at all three of these aforementioned positions.
