Yet another club has signed all of its draft picks.

The Dolphins have their entire rookie class under contract, the club announced Thursday night.

A deal for first-round pick DeVante Parker, a wide receiver from Louisville, had already been reported. And now, the Dolphins have finished deals with the other draftees: defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (Round Two), offensive guard Jamil Douglas (Round Four), cornerback Bobby McCain (Round Five), tailback Jay Ajayi (Round Five), safety Cedric Thompson (Round Five) and cornerback Tony Lippett (Round Five).

The seven drafted rookies could all stick on Miami’s Week One roster; all were added at positions where the Dolphins needed some depth and competition. For instance, the 6-foot-5, 329-pound Phillips, an Oklahoma product, could get some backup reps behind Ndamukong Suh and Earl Mitchell at defensive tackle. Ajayi, the former Boise State running back, will vie for time in a backfield where Lamar Miller has top billing entering 2015.
