Originally published on Silver & Black Report on May 9, 2014

The Oakland Raiders traded their third-round pick to the Miami Dolphins on Friday, adding more ammo to their 2014 draft.

With the trade, the Raiders will now draft at picks #81 (third round) and #116 (fourth round) while the Dolphins will select in the Raiders slot at #67.

The trade gives the Raiders a total of seven draft picks now as they only had six picks before.

The Raiders will now have a fourth-round draft pick, something they lacked before the trade.

This isn’t the first time the Dolphins and Raiders have done business on draft day as the Dolphins traded up to #3 overall last year with the Raiders, where Oakland drafted cornerback D.J. Hayden with the 12th-overall selection.
