    Dion Jordan was a bust, but he wasn’t just drafted solely off potential. He was also a really good player on really good, prominent teams.

    Two time first team all conference - back when the conference wasn’t an embarrassment, and an All American on recognized lists. The numbers he put up are similar to the other Pac-10 edge/de guys from those years who were first round picks: Cameron Jordan, Nick Perry, Tyson Alualu.
    Nick Alotti ain’t walking through that door

    He didn't have a single year of double digit sacks yet was drafted as the top edge rusher and #3 overall. Fucking Josh Shirley racked up more sacks than Jordan in both 2011 and 2012 (when Shirley was a freshman/soph, while Jordan was a junior/sr).

    If that's not potential > production, then I don't know what is.
