Cade McNown

Miami acquired a conditional 2003 pick (not conveyed) from 49ers for Cade McNown. The second pass found enough opportunity cost or underwhelming Dolphins return to grade this as a narrow loss rather than a neutral transaction. The grade still accounts for era, role, uncertainty in conditional picks or cash terms, and whether the traded asset produced meaningful on-field value after the move

Miami acquired Cade McNown and 2002 7th round pick (241st overall, Leonard Henry) from Bears for 2002 6th round pick (199th overall, Adrian Peterson) and 2003 6th round pick (191st overall, Joe Odom). The original C- already leaned against Miami, and the second pass treats that slight disadvantage as a narrow loss rather than leaving it buried as an Even. The grade still accounts for era, role, uncertainty in conditional picks or cash terms, and whether the traded asset produced meaningful on-field value after the move

Washington traded the Ricky Williams pick to New Orleans for a major draft haul. The downstream sequence helped create LaVar Arrington and additional capital, making the first leg a major Washington Win.

Washington used part of the Ricky Williams haul to move up for Champ Bailey. Bailey became a Hall of Fame cornerback, so this linked sequence remains a Washington Win on the draft outcome.
