The Splash Zone 4/22/23: Is tight end the pick for the Dolphins in the second round?

The Miami Dolphins currently have four selections in the 2023 NFL Draft and their first pick comes in the second round at #51. The Dolphins should be able to get an impact player at that pick still and could perhaps look towards addressing a need in one of the deepest positions in the draft. This year’s tight end class has some really good talent to choose from and the Dolphins could use some help in that room. Michael Mayer and Dalton Kincaid are expected to be off the board by the time the Dolphins pick and there is a chance Darnell Washington could still be there when the team is on the clock. If the team chooses to address a different spot in the second round, there are still some quality tight ends that could help in the third round.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
