The Dolphins would be fine if they don’t use a single draft pick on a cornerback or an offensive lineman in this month’s NFL Draft because they have starters and decent depth at those positions.
But Miami is nevertheless using some of its 30 permitted nonlocal predraft visits on those positions.
The latest additions to the list: Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward (according to NFL.com) and Auburn guard Braden Smith (according to a league source).
Ward might be gone by the time the Dolphins pick at No. 11. ESPN’s Mel Kiper and Todd McShay both predict he will go seventh to Tampa Bay.
