    How did they do? I heard Kyle Long did decent and could be a 2nd round Lock.

    If Jordan is drafted in the first round, I think he has bust written all over him. The guy never really showed much at Oregon, despite all the hype and unbelievable physical talent.

    An article in the Oregonian said it pretty well:

    "Rang's take: "There are some people out there who absolutely love him. There's no denying his length and his agility and speed. He is a phenomenal athlete. He looks like a small forward out there. I anticipate he will light up the combine. I'm lower on him than other people. With all of that athleticism, I didn't see him make enough plays. He had some trouble with durability. He has great upside. I think there are very few players in this entire draft that can boast his upside potential. But at the same time the proof is in the pudding and I didn't see him make enough plays. He's more of a 3-4 linebacker than a defensive end. If he were in a 4-3, teams would run at him all day long."

    Which teams run a 3-4 defense in the NFL? Jordan would be a good fit for them in that case. Maybe he falls to the Patriots or the Steelers?
