With Dan Marino off the board, there was still plenty of all-time Miami Dolphins greats to choose from.

Nick Belotto – Picking in the second overall spot

RD 1 – LARRY CSONKA
RD 2 – JIM LANGER
RD 3 – MARK DUPER
RD 4 – RANDY McMICHAEL
RD 5 – JARVIS LANDRY
RD 6 – KEITH SIMS
RD 7 – TONY NATHAN
RD 8 – OLINDO MARE
RD 9 – JAY FIEDLER

Larry Csonka as the number two overall pick is absolutely perfect. In a draft with two running backs, having the best in history is a perfect kick-off to the roster. Not only is Csonka a HOF runner, but he could also probably still take the field and destroy defenders.

If you have the best runner, you may as well have one of the best offensive linemen. Another HOF player on the roster for Nick. Jim Langer was as solid as they come and a lynchpin of the Don Shula offensive lines of the 1970s.

Adding Mark Duper in round three is a steal. He may not have Dan Marino to throw to him but it is Mark Duper so you don’t need to. Randy McMichael is a very legit tight end and one of the best Miami has had.

Underrated: Tony Nathan in round seven is more than a bargain. Nathan is often forgotten when Dolphins historical runners are mentioned but alongside Csonka, it’s a perfect fit.

Weakness: Jay Fiedler isn’t one of the top six QB’s in Miami history, at least not to me but Nick used a smart tactic in waiting until the last round to take a QB after the other teams had filled their spots.
