NFL Draft 2013: British trio of Menelik Watson, Lawrence Okoye and Tom Wort miss out in round one The Londoner, who earned a place at Oxford University to study law, finished 12th in the men's discus final at London 2012 but has since reinvented himself over the past year as a potential back for the Draft, which continues on Friday and Saturday. "The fact that I've never played college football before means it would be unheard of for me to be drafted," Okoye said. But some of these guys have said, 'Don't be surprised if you get picked up in the seventh round. It's unlikely but not impossible but, to be honest, being drafted is not necessarily the best thing for me. If I'm undrafted then I'm a free agent, and if I get 15 offers I can choose who I want. I think that's best for me. It would be good for me to choose the team that I feel I have the best chemistry with and who really want to work with me, whereas if I'm drafted I have to go to whoever picks me. All I can say now is that I'm very confident that I'll be on a team by the end of the month. Wort, who moved to the United States from West Sussex at the age of 14, excelled in the Texas high school leagues as a teenager and has continued to shine in college football at the University of Oklahoma. He is tipped as an outside chance to land a contract with a professional team. The Draft sees the 32 NFL teams take it in turns to select from the vast pool of young, non-professional players in a series of rounds. The Miami Dolphins sprung the biggest surprise in the early stages of the draft by trading up to take Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan with the third selection. After the first two picks tallied with expectation - the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars took left tackles Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel respectively - Miami brokered a deal with the Oakland Raiders. The Dolphins sent their first selection this year, pick 12, as well as a second rounder - number 42 - to the Raiders and chose Jordan. Many expected Miami, who also made a splash in free agency with the additions of wide receiver Mike Wallace and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe among others, to choose tackle Lane Johnson. The Oklahoma standout was subsequently chosen next by the Philadelphia Eagles, with the top five being rounded off when the Detroit Lions added edge rusher Ezekiel Ansah.
