Trends : Well, what stands out is clearly indicated by the number 0 next to “number of first-round picks.” The Dolphins remain one of five teams to have never finished so tight in the first round, along with Minnesota, Washington, Tennessee and Carolina. It’s also worth noting that Gesicki is the Dolphins’ first second-round winner since 1976.
DOLPHIN’S TIGHT FINISH
After Gesicki’s failed stint in Miami before he left for New England via free agency, the Dolphins have still never had a dominant Travis-style tight end Kelce or George Kittle. < br>The only position player drafted by the Dolphins to make the Pro Bowl is Ferrell Edmunds. Interestingly, the Dolphins passed on tight end Dan Marino’s Hall of Fame career, with Edmunds being the only player selected before the fourth round.
After Edmunds, the Dolphins also had got good performance from Randy McMichael in fourth. round pick and then Charles Clay as a sixth-round pick
