Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

Dan Marino. 17. player. 59. <p>The 1983 draft was one of the best for quarterbacks with John Elway going first overall and Jim Kelly going 14th before Dan Marino went to the Miami Dolphins with the No. 27 pick. All three are in the Hall of Fame, but Marino slide to the second-to-last pick with Todd Blackledge, Tony Eason and Ken O’Brien drafted before the former Pitt signal-caller.</p> <p>Marino made the teams who passed on him in the draft immediately regret the decision when he threw for a record 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns in his second year and led the Dolphins to a 14-2 record and led the team to the Super Bowl while capturing the MVP.</p> <p>He would lead the NFL in completions, yards and touchdowns for the next three seasons and was a first-team All-Pro in all of those years. He even led the Dolphins to an upset over the eventual Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears on Monday night in 1985 to hand them their lone loss of the year.</p> <p>Marino spent his entire 17-year career with the Dolphins, compiling a 147-93 record, 61,361 yards and a then-NFL record 420 touchdowns. He currently ranks third in NFL history in completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns and is second to Peyton Manning with game-winning drives and comebacks.</p>. QB. Miami Dolphins
