Dadi Nicolas, a 6th rounder in 2016, flashed a bit but then tore a pattellar tendon and his career might be over.
Where Dorsey really screwed up was by taking a $4 million dollar Dead Cap hit for Tamba Hali in early 2016, then turning around and giving him a 3 year, $21 million dollar deal with $12 million guaranteed. Not only was a he a shell of himself in 2016, he didn't hit the field until late 2017 and made zero impact.
Thus, Frank Zombo.

This was spectacularly terrible management of the roster and the cap, and he deserved to be fired for this alone. It shows a lack of foresight, a handicap of pride, and a disregard for the future. It also highlights the misstep of drafting Ford.
Man, Dorsey could spot potential talent, but the dude just completely lacked a broader vision for what it takes to build a winner. So myopic when it came to raw talent.
