Darrell Green - 28th overall in 1983, Washington Redskins
Unlike the other infamous non-picks in this countdown, the Miami Dolphins certainly don't regret passing on Texas A&I cornerback Darrell Green at No. 27 in the '83 draft. The Super Bowl runner-ups watched Pittsburgh's Dan Marino fall into their laps -- in a year where six quarterbacks (five in the AFC East alone) were taken in Round 1 -- and would enjoy his services for 17 glorious seasons. One last note: In the NFL's long, illustrious history, Marino and Green are one of the few back-to-back Hall of Famers taken outside the top 10. In the 1964 draft, Mel Renfro and Paul Krause were taken with the 17th and 18th picks, respectively.
