The Miami Dolphins used their first pick of the second night of the 2018 NFL Draft to select Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki, Miami now has their pass-catching, seam-threatening tight end, and he should be able to come into the club and immediately have an impact on the offense. A non-blocking tight end, Gesicki could become a slot type of pass catcher, as well as the team’s primary red zone weapon.
The pick seems like a good one for Miami, immediately upgrading the passing attack as quarterback Ryan Tannehill comes back to the team. Gesicki should become a favorite target for Tannehill, and he should see plenty of playing time as a rookie.
How do you grade Miami’s selection of Gesicki? My grade would probably be a B+. He is not a perfect tight end, and the team will need to work on getting him to be a blocker in the run game so that he can do it, but it gives them exactly what they needed for the offense.
