It's kind of hard to translate with the same punctuation since the pronoun is at the end in the Japanese.

馬鹿 stupid/idiot
だ is/am/are
な huh? isn't it? you know? ey?
おまえら Derogatory pronoun for "you". It can be said in jest, depending on your company, and your tone. The ら makes it plural.

You're right.

May be you can translate this sentence into something like
"You are nuts, all of you."
I'm not sure though.

We can say 「おまえら、馬鹿だな」 as well, but I think 「馬鹿だな、おまえら」 is more natural.

Japanese doesn't care much about where the subject comes.
There's some people who think that there is no pronoun at all in Japanese in the first place.
In their opinion, such words as 君、私、あなたがた etc. are all mere nouns.
