The Miami Dolphins haven't been shy about retooling their roster this offsesaon, going on a spending spree in free agency and adding wide receivers Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson, linebackers Philip Wheeler and Dannell Ellerbe, tight end Dustin Keller, cornerback Brent Grimes, guard Lance Louis and defensive tackle Vaughn Miller.

The notable loss for the Dolphins occurred when left tackle Jake Long opted to sign with the St. Louis Rams, leaving a hole on Miami's offensive line. 2012 second-round draft pick Jonathan Martin started 16 games at right tackle last season and can shift over to the left side if needed, but there are multiple reports the team wants to snag one of the top three offensive tackles in the upcoming draft.

The problem is those three players are expected to be off the board by the time the Dolphins are on the clock at No. 12. Many analysts are projecting Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson could all be drafted in the first seven selections later this month.

One way the Dolphins can ensure they land a player they covet is to trade up in the first round. There is increasing speculation Miami will pursue that route, especially since the team has an extra second- and third-round choice, from previous trades, to use as bargaining chips.

Depending how the board falls, Miami may only need to move up a couple slots to land a tackle, especially if Johnson is the player they desire.

But if Joeckel and Fisher are tabbed in the top four, the Dolphins could look to package their first and one of their second-round selections to the Detroit Lions in order to move up to No. 5.

The value of the deal would closely resemble a first-round swap from last season, when Dallas moved up to No. 6 in the first round by sending St. Louis the 14th and 45th choices.

The Dolphins have the 42nd and 54th picks in the second round this season.

At No. 12, the Lions could still fill a number of needs. They could select one of the top guards, Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper, look at cornerbacks Xavier Rhodes and Desmond Trufant, or possibly even pull the trigger on West Virginia's versatile offensive weapon Tavon Austin.
