Trouble with mouseDragged and multiple objects

Question

We are playing around with mouseDragged and multipleObjects.

We are trying to create a board game that has 8 pieces that can be individually clicked and dragged to their respective location on the board (without using jpanel, jframe, etc). As of now we have created 8 individual pieces for the board game, however when you go to click/drag piece '2', it causes all of the pieces to come together under the top piece.

Our initial solution (not shown) is to use a button to cycle between players pieces, but we would like to try to do this without the use of a button. Any suggestions are welcome.
