As the NFL Draft approaches, Ajayi remains atop the Dolphins' running back depth chart, the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Following the free agent departure of Lamar Miller, the team also rosters Jahwan Edwards, Isaiah Pead, Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams, but the report suggests that at this stage, "only Ajayi is guaranteed to be on the team this fall." With that in mind, there's a solid chance that the Dolphins will select a running back in next week's draft, so Ajayi -- a fifth-rounder in 2015 -- could well have some viable competition for the chance top serve as Miller's successor this coming season.
