DAVIE, Fla. (AP) The Miami Dolphins traded up to select North Dakota State tackle Billy Turner in the third round of the NFL draft Friday.

Miami traded a third- and fourth-round pick to the Oakland Raiders to move up. The Dolphins selected Louisiana State receiver Jarvis Landry in the second round.

Turner played on three consecutive Championship Subdivision championship teams at North Dakota State. He's expected to compete for a starting job at guard for the Dolphins, who have only one returning starter in the offensive line from last season.

The Dolphins selected Tennessee right tackle Ja'Wuan James with the 19th overall pick in the first round Thursday. They traded down twice before selecting Louisiana State receiver Jarvis Landry in the second round.
