With only six picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have to make the most of their opportunities. They simply cannot afford to make mistakes in a make or break draft for the team. For that reason, paying attention to these five Dolphins draft rumors is something every fan needs to do.

Despite a torn ACL ending Toddy Gurley’s final season at Georgia early, he’s still someone who has the potential to be a major difference maker in the NFL. The Dolphins aren’t in desperate need of a three-down back at the moment, which is why adding Gurley to the mix works. He could be the physical back to keep defenses honest that Miami is looking for in 2015.at Sanford Stadium on September 27, 2014 in Athens, Georgia

The Dolphins did a terrific job improving the offensive tackle position in free agency, but there’s still plenty of work to be done on the offensive line. In particular, Miami must come up with at least one top-notch offensive guard. Even though the 2015 class doesn’t have any guards that stand out as elite, A.J. Cann is definitely someone the Dolphins must select in the second round due to his potential of being a solid run blocker.

One of the biggest draft rumors has the Dolphins trading up to select wide receiver Kevin White. Considering Miami is in desperate need of finding a true No. 1 WR, it certainly makes sense why they would entertain the idea. After the Buffalo Bills traded up to select Sammy Watkins in 2014, which clearly worked out in their favor, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Miami did the same thing, especially when they need to get weapons for Ryan Tannehill.

If Miami is unable to make a trade work to get White, they could still go wide receiver in the first round by drafting DeVante Parker as the more realistic option. If there’s one thing missing from Miami’s offense, it’s a player who can take over the game with a big play. Even if Parker needs to work on his route-running skills, his ability to make the big play would be huge for Tannehill and the offense.

Considering a need at cornerback, the safest bet for Miami in the first round is selecting Trae Waynes out of Michigan State. The potential for being an elite cornerback with above-average coverage skills is all the evidence that is needed for the Dolphins to know Waynes is someone they must add to their roster.
