8. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are another team that could be calling Hikutini’s name on draft-day this coming April. They already have two solid receivers in DeVante Parker and Jarvis Landry, but they have still yet to find a reliable tight-end for quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Injuries have kept starting tight-end Jordan Cameron out for most of this season, but other than Dion Sims, they don’t have one guy they can rely on going forward.

Hikutini could add a completely different element to the Miami offense going forward. They play in a tough division, where defenses can make the biggest difference among four different teams that can move the football well.

Not to mention, the Louisville tight-end would help Miami in the red-zone and in the run game with his solid blocking ability.
