During the 2018 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins used the 11th choice on Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and the 42nd choice on Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki.
After dropping to a 6-10 record in 2017, the Dolphins are hoping Fitzpatrick helps them improve a defense that finished 29th in points allowed and 28th in interceptions among the NFL's 32 teams last season. And Gesicki could land on top of the team's depth chart at tight end. The six tight ends on Miami's roster have a total of 94 NFL receptions, including 22 in 2017.
