[[Miami Dolphins]] joined the [[National Football League]] (NFL) in [[1966 NFL season|1966]] as an [[expansion team]].

The [[Miami Dolphins]], a professional [[American football]] team based in [[Miami, Florida]], are part of the Eastern Division of the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC) in the [[National Football League]] (NFL). The Dolphins were founded by [[Joseph Robbie]] and [[Danny Thomas]] in 1965.<ref name="hghlights">{{cite web|url=http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/history/historicalhighlights/historicalhighlights.asp |title=History:Historical Highlights |publisher=miamidolphins.com |access-date=2008-07-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070207055603/http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/history/historicalhighlights/historicalhighlights.asp |archive-date=2007-02-07 }}</ref> They began playing in the [[American Football League]] (AFL) as an [[expansion team]] in [[1966 American Football League season|1966]] and joined the NFL as part of the [[AFL–NFL merger]] in 1967.<ref name="hghlights" />


Every year during April, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate [[draft (sports)|draft]] known as the "[[NFL Draft|NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting]]," which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft. Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, and the second worst picking second and so on. The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous [[Super Bowl]]; the Super Bowl champion ''always'' picks 32nd, and the Super Bowl loser ''always'' picks 31st. Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or a combination thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://football.about.com/od/miscinformation/a/detdraftorder.htm| last = Alder | first = James | title = "NFL Draft Basics:Determining Order of Selection" | work = football.about.com | accessdate=2007-10-23}}</ref>

As an expansion team in the AFL, the Dolphins were granted the first two picks in the 1966 American Football League Draft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.profootballhof.com/timeline/1960/the-1966-nfl-draft/|title=Pro football draft history: 1966|work=Pro Football Hall of Fame|access-date=2016-09-15}}</ref> They selected [[Jim Grabowski]] and [[Rick Norton]] with the first and second picks, respectively. The Dolphins' first selection as an NFL team was [[Bob Griese]], a [[quarterback]] from [[Purdue Boilermakers football|Purdue]].

Dan Marino, drafted by the Dolphins in 1983, became a Hall of Famer in 2005.

The Miami Dolphins, a professional American football team based in Miami, Florida, are part of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Dolphins were founded by Joseph Robbie and Danny Thomas in 1965.[1] They began playing in the American Football League (AFL) as an expansion team in 1966 and joined the NFL as part of the AFL–NFL merger in 1967.[1]

They first participated in the 1966 AFL Annual Player Selection Meeting, more commonly known as the NFL draft.[2] In the annual NFL Draft, each franchise seeks to add new players to its roster. Teams are ranked in reverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, the second worst picking second and so on. The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl; the Super Bowl champion always picks 32nd, and the Super Bowl loser always picks 31st. Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or a combination thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades.[3]

As an expansion team in the AFL, the Dolphins were granted the first two picks in the 1966 American Football League Draft.[4] They selected Jim Grabowski and Rick Norton with the first and second picks, respectively. The Dolphins' first selection as an NFL team was Bob Griese, a quarterback from Purdue. The team's most recent first-round selections were Jaylen Waddle, a wide receiver from Alabama and Jaelan Phillips, a defensive end from the University of Miami in 2021.
