The Oakland Raiders were on the clock with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but they decided to trade back in the draft order with the Miami Dolphins. Immediately, speculation began to rise that the Dolphins would select offensive tackle after losing Jake Long in free agency and watching Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel go No. 1 and No. 2 overall.

Once the pick was in, the Dolphins pulled a fast one.

Miami selected Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan.

In exchange for the No. 3 overall pick, the Raiders will get the Dolphins No. 12 selection in the first-round along with the Dolphins No. 42 overall pick. This trade makes one wonder whether or not the Dolphins will complete a trade for Branden Albert.

This trade is likely just the first of many in what will be a wild round.

The Philadelphia Eagles are now on the clock.
