Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
San Francisco acquired defensive back Charles Cornelius from Miami in August 1979 for an 1980 eleventh-round selection, later No. 279 Phil Driscoll. Cornelius became an immediate 49ers starter, opening 14 games in 1979 with three interceptions and then making six more starts in 1980. Driscoll did not become an NFL regular-season contributor for Miami. Turning an eleventh-round pick into 20 starts across two seasons gives San Francisco the clear advantage.
