Hoskins

Coach Joe Philbin said he’ll likely keep three-to-five tight ends. Charles Clay sits atop the depth chart, while the remainder of the pecking order is unsettled. Others in the mix are Michael Egnew, Dion Sims, and rookie Arthur Lynch. Egnew’s spot is likely in the most danger, as he hasn’t done much of anything in his two seasons. Hoskins is a “move” tight end and is worth monitoring in deeper Dynasty leagues with Charles Clay in the final year of his contract.

Hoskins (6-foot-1 5/8, 253) was a prolific red-zone receiver for the Thundering Herd, turning 99 career receptions into 1,318 yards (13.3 YPR) and 28 touchdowns, including 15 scores as a senior. Hoskins ran 4.73 at the Marshall Pro Day, adding a 36 1/2-inch vertical and 9-foot-8 broad jump. A movable H-back type in the mold of new teammate Charles Clay, Hoskins will have to be used creatively by the Dolphins coaching staff to maximize his pass-catching tools. He’s not an in-line tight end.

The Fins must fancy converted WR Robinson a better prospect than Hoskins, an undrafted rookie. Hoskins will likely go onto the Dolphins’ practice squad.
