8: Dion Jordan – 3rd overall to Dolphins in 2013:

The Miami Dolphins traded up with the Oakland Raiders to select Jordan in 2013. The fact he was the highest-drafted Oregon Duck since the aforementioned Joey Harrington may have been a sign of things to come. Jordan played all 16 games his rookie year but only amassed 26 tackles and two sacks. The following year he was suspended for a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy. The suspension was increased by two more games when news arrived he had violated the policy a second time.

Jordan was then suspended for the entire 2015 season for a third violation of the policy. He was reinstated but did not play at all during the 2016 season nonetheless. Miami then released Jordan in March 2017. He resurfaced with Seattle in 2018 but was then suspended in March 2019 for 10 games for taking Adderall. A supremely talented athlete, but one that could not stay out of drug-related trouble. Therefore, a huge bust based on his draft position.
