Omar Kelly, who covers the Miami Dolphins for the Sun-Sentinel, recently ranked his top 50 prospects in the 2015 NFL draft.

The list is littered with former Hurricanes.

Running back Duke Johnson kicks off the countdown at No. 50 and tight end Clive Walford follows pups up on the list right after at No. 48. NFL teams will have their pick of Miami's offensive skill position players, with wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (ranked No. 26 by Kelly) being the most coveted.

Linebacker Denzel Perryman landed at No. 39 on Kelly's ranking, but offensive lineman Ereck Flowers was the highest-ranked former Hurricane on the list, coming in at No. 12.

"He's a powerful college left tackle who has the build and arms (34.5 inches) to remain outside, but might shine if moved to guard, where he can use his athleticism to move people," Kelly wrote about Flowers. "He needs some work on his technique, but should be a day one starter."

This spring's NFL draft will be held from Thursday, April 30, to Saturday, May 2.
