Miami Dolphins have eight selections in the 2016 NFL draft

The Miami Dolphins will begin the 2016 NFL draft with eight selections courtesy of last season's trade, which sent cornerback Will Davis to the Baltimore Ravens for an extra seventh-round selection.

Ironically, the Dolphins will likely have to use a couple of those 2016 draft picks to address the cornerback position, which presently features only one (Bryon Maxwell) proven starter heading into training camp because of the trade of Davis, a 2013 third-round pick, and the release of Brent Grimes and Brice McCain this offseason.

The Dolphins also have other glaring needs - like tailback - that must be addressed in this year's NFL draft, which will take place on April 28-30.
