2015 NFL Draft: Miami Dolphins Seven-Round Mock Draft, Early-April Edition

The Miami Dolphins have already made some big moves this offseason as they approach the 2015 NFL Draft. The signing of Ndamukong Suh will have expectations high, but the Dolphins need to have a good draft if they are going to meet their new goals. Miami doesn't have a third or seventh-round pick, but they have two fifth-rounders. Here is what they might do with each of their six picks.

Round 1: DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville

DeVante Parker is considered the third-best wide receiver in the draft class, but he has all of the physical tools to be a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL. Miami needs to get Ryan Tannehill another target to help him develop further as a quarterback. Parker looks like he will be capable of stepping right in and performing just as many rookie wideouts did last year.

Quinten Rollins has been moving up and down draft boards throughout the process. It makes sense considering he only played one season of college football. Rollins was a four-year starter in basketball before opting to try out football. He has a lot of upside but will need a lot of good coaching at the next level.

Round 4: Mitch Morse, OG, Missouri

Mitch Morse in the fourth round would give the Dolphins a smart lineman who can help with their depth and possibly start at guard next year. He isn't the most physically gifted player, but he makes up for it with his intelligence and effort.

Round 5: Christian Covington, DT, Rice

Christian Covington is a player with a lot of talent who has fallen in the draft process because of his medical history. He is coming off of a dislocated knee injury which cost him all but two games last year. Miami can take a shot on him, because they won't need him to be a starter as a rookie. Covington would help with their depth and could be used as a rotational guy early on.

Round 5: Xzavier Dickson, OLB, Alabama

Miami needs to add some talent to their linebacking unit. Xzavier Dickson is an all-around linebacker who could help Miami in a few different areas. His primary role in college was as a pass rusher, but he showed some flashes as a coverage guy against tight ends.

Round 6: Josh Robinson, RB, Mississippi State

Lamar Miller has proven to be an effective running back when he is healthy and on the field. Unfortunately, that last part is hard to count on. Josh Robinson is an interesting prospect who I think could help Miami limit the carries Miller has to take. He looks like a bowling ball on the field as he bounces off defenders. Scouts worry about his size and overall athleticism.
