2010 NFL Draft Linebacker Options for Miami Dolphins

The 2010 NFL Draft in a couple of weeks will provide some interesting choices for the Miami Dolphins, especially in the needed linebacker position. With veterans Joey Porter leaving to the Arizona Cardinals and Jason Taylor still unsigned, the Dolphins are looking to the draft to fill those spots.

This year’s draft has a strong pool of linebackers and according to ESPN’s Mel Kipper, “its because there are a lot of combo guys”. With defensive ends that can play outside linebackers, like Georgia’s Tech Derrick Morgan, who would fit well in the Dolphins’ 3-4 scheme. Analysts also have Texas’ Sergio Kindle, Tennessee’s Dan Williams, and possibly USF Jason Pierre-Paul.
