Miami Dolphins all-time fantasy football mock draft: Defense

If you could draft an all Miami Dolphins roster from history, who would it be?

Last month we ran a fantasy draft comprised of only Miami Dolphins players throughout history so naturally, we have to do one for the defense.

When we did the offense, we asked six of our great contributing writers to select players from several positions in a snake format like most fantasy football drafts. Now that we are on the defensive side of the ball, we have asked them to once again pick players from Dolphins’ history to make the best roster they could.

Our mock drafters were tasked to take the following number of players: 1 DT, 1 DE, 2 LB, 2 DB (at least one safety and one corner), and 1 punter. We reversed the order from the offensive draft. You can read the results from that draft by going here.

Number one overall pick? Jason Taylor. With the first pick in this draft, Pablo Rosero took the defensive end and Hall of Fame NFL great Jason Taylor. Would you have taken Taylor first? It would be difficult to argue with the choice but if you want to try, let us know who you would have taken in the comments.

With the 2nd overall pick, Matthew Stevens went with Cameron Wake and George Keim followed with Zach Thomas. Dominic Ambrose selected Nick Buoniconti with pick four. Pick five was made by Nick Belotto who made Sam Madison a first-round pick and we wrapped up the first round with James Reeve taking Patrick Surtain.

So now it’s up to you to dissect the draft picks and tell us what you may have done differently or who got left off.
