I did a fantasy draft because the Dolphins have, for the past few seasons, pretty much stunk up the joint. Besides, I like the unpredictability of who will end up where and how it'll affect the usual powerhouses. I used a draft strategy I found (and will gladly provide a copy of for those as might want it), and I ended up with this team.

I had been running another Dolphins franchise, but salary cap started to bite me in the ass to the point of ridiculousness. Unlike with Madden 2003, you can't turn off the salary cap (Nor can you make a custom team and use them in Franchise mode, which annoys me greatly, but I digress).

It'll be interesting to see where I can take this version of the team. Should be fun.
