Right. This thread is about fantasy football sleepers, which essentially means that their potential exceeds their expectations. Player's in the first few rounds are drafted on expectations, thus a sleeper typically doesn't go any higher than the 5th or 6th round (Jordan should go even later in my opinion).
Plus, Jordan only played 9 games last year due to injuries. Even if he was healthy, their offensive line sucked as did their quarterbacking. Both have improved slightly, but it's not like Jordan will be a top 5 running back this year. Thus a later round pick is not a big risk.
