If the last twenty years has shown you anything, it’s that the Miami Dolphins don’t draft well. In fact, I would say they draft poorly.
I was 14 when Dan Marino was drafted with the 27th pick in the 1983 Draft. That was arguably one of the best draft picks the Dolphins ever made.
Fast forward a few years. Marino has only been to one super bowl. Shula and Tom Olivadatti’s defense looks as solid as melted butter. In 1996 a new era of Jimmy Johnson is ushered in. Jimmy Johnson invented the idea of a draft value chart and had a history of drafting well.
