Miami Dolphins memory lane: A 2000s mock draft
By Pablo Rosero
Navy Blue
Head Coach- Adam Gase
QB – Ryan Tannehill
WR/RB/TE 1 – Brandon Marshall
WR/RB/TE 2 – Lamar Miller
OL – Brandon Albert
DL – Randy Starks
LB – Channing Crowder
DB 1- Reshad Jones
DB 2 – Brent Grimes
K/P – Jason Sanders
Returner – Davone Bess
This team features the best quarterback, wide receiver, safety, and kicker of any team on this list. Tannehill and Marshall are the offensive duos that Dolphins fans were robbed of and each of Navy Blue’s team defensive players all were extremely underrated during their playing days.
White
Head Coach- Brian Flores
QB – Matt Moore
WR/RB/TE 1 – Reggie Bush
WR/RB/TE 2 – Mike Gesicki
OL – Jake Long
DL – Jason Taylor
LB – Kyle Van Noy
DB 1- Xavien Howard
DB 2 – Minkah Fitzpatrick
K/P – Dan Carpenter
Returner – Jakeem Grant
A defensive team for a defensive-minded head coach. Not only does Flores get the best defensive player that has ever worn a Dolphins uniform, but he also gets an elite corner and two players that work well in his system. Reggie Bush and Mike Gesicki will also be able to perform even with Matt Moore at quarterback.
Orange
Head Coach- Tony Sparono
QB – Tua Tagovailoa
WR/RB/TE 1 – Ronnie Brown
WR/RB/TE 2 – Jaylen Waddle
OL – Richie Incognito
DL – Ndamukong Suh
LB – Karlos Dansby
DB 1- Yeremiah Bell
DB 2 – Sean Smith
K/P – Cody Parkey
Returner – Ted Ginn Jr.
Tony Sparano’s team is defined by speed and a little bit of a mean streak. Richie Incognito, Karlos Dansby and Ndamukong Suh in the trenches will give this team a nasty edge, while Ronnie Brown and Jaylen Waddle should give Tua Tagovailoa no problem playing his usual game.
Aqua Green
Head Coach- Joe Philbin
QB – Chad Pennington
WR/RB/TE 1 – Jarvis Landry
WR/RB/TE 2 – Brain Hartline
OL – Mike Pouncey
DL – Cameron Wake
LB – Jerome Baker
DB 1- Vontae Davis
DB 2 – Jevon Holland
K/P – Brandon Fields
Returner – Marcus Thigpen
Another offensive coach working with a fan favorite quarterback and two weapons who can each get 100 receptions in a season. This team may not have the elite athletic talent you’d like on offense, but they get the job done. The defense does have players that can play all over the field in multiple roles.
