Miami Dolphins all-time fantasy football mock draft
By Brian Miller
Surely Dan Marino would be the top pick in any Miami Dolphins fantasy draft.
James Reeve – Picking in the top spot
RD 1 – DAN MARINO
RD 2 – MARK CLAYTON
RD 3 – RONNIE BROWN
RD 4 – ED NEWMAN
RD 5 – ANTHONY FASANO
RD 6 – DURIEL HARRIS
RD 7 – NORM EVANS
RD 8 – KARIM ABDUL-JABBAR
RD 9 – GARO YEPREMIAN
This is a pretty stout team but having Dan Marino on the roster makes any team better, period. It was hard not to blow the first overall pick and James didn’t cave to the pressure, o.k. there was no pressure. In fact, we pretty much wrote in Marino’s name before he made his pick.
Adding Clayton in round two made a lot of sense as well. The combination of Marino and Clayton is legendary Dolphins’ history and adding Ronnie Brown to the mix makes the offensive skill players better.
Underrated: Duriel Harris was a very good receiver for the Dolphins whose stats didn’t add up to what he brought to the team. Solid pick to pair with Clayton. Ed Newman typically goes unnoticed as a member of the best Miami Dolphins offensive linemen in team history but make no mistake, he played 12 seasons, all with Miami and made the Pro Bowl his final four seasons.
Weakness: Karim Abdul-Jabbar at any spot in this type of mock draft makes little sense. Even in round eight.
