Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins
Green Bay Packers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Green Bay moved from No. 29 to No. 19 in the 1998 draft by sending Miami the 29th pick and the 60th pick. The Packers used No. 19 on defensive lineman Vonnie Holliday, who played 214 career games and recorded 62.5 sacks. Miami selected John Avery at No. 29 and later traded No. 60 to Detroit; Avery lasted only 29 NFL games, giving Green Bay the clearly stronger direct outcome.
Detroit sent Miami three later picks in the 1998 draft to acquire No. 60 and selected quarterback Charlie Batch. Batch started 46 games for the Lions and ultimately played 81 NFL games, throwing for 11,085 career yards. Miami used the return on Brad Jackson, Scott Shaw and John Dutton. Jackson became a useful defender, but the package did not approach the value of a multi-year starting quarterback.
