Who knows the lowest spot that Jordan was projected to go? Seems like a big reach.

I think they were concerned the eagles would take him and it doesn't look like they gave up much

With the 2013 NFL draft just hours away (5 p.m. on NFL Network), it's time to take one last look at where mock drafts have Oregon Ducks outside linebacker Dion Jordan being drafted Thursday night.

Jordan appears to be a lock to go in the Top 10, but there's no consensus on where he will fall in that order. He has been tabbed to go as high as No. 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and as low as No. 10 overall to the Tennessee Titans. Here's an 11th hour roundup of what the national NFL writers are saying about Jordan's draft position:

Moving up that far for the #42 (and their #12) - that's a pretty nice trade for Miami. We'll have to see how Jordan develops to see whether the move was right or not.

Now the Eagles get to trade their pick for the rights to Lane Johnson.

A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

They gave up a top tier LT.
