Dolphins make UCLA TE Thomas Duarte final draft pick

DAVIE, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins used their final pick on UCLA tight end Thomas Duarte at No. 223 overall.

Here are some thoughts on the selection:

My take: Duarte is another long shot to make the 53-man roster. The Dolphins are set at the position with starter Jordan Cameron and backup Dion Sims. Duarte describes himself as a playmaker who can catch the ball well. His best chance to make the team likely will be on special teams.

Offensive draft: Duarte is the sixth offensive player taken by Miami in this draft.
