The Miami Dolphins have some big needs on their roster following their first playoff berth since 2008. Most of those come on the defensive side of the ball, but tight end is also an important position to build on for the offense. So much so, that many mock drafts had the Dolphins selecting a tight end in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, with Miami taking either Alabama’s O.J. Howard or Miami (FL) native David Njoku.
In my last article, I expressed that I was not a fan of the idea that Miami might take a tight end in the first round with other more dire needs on the roster, and limited draft picks.
