Trade 1 of 3

Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers

Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

San Francisco sent Miami the No. 12 pick in 2021, first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, and a 2022 third-rounder to move up to No. 3 for Trey Lance. Lance started only four games for the 49ers before they traded him to Dallas for a 2024 fourth. Miami immediately recycled No. 12 in another trade and retained enormous additional capital. The quarterback gamble failed, making the Dolphins the overwhelming winner.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Pick 2021 1st round pick (12th overall subsequently traded, Micah Parsons)
  • Pick 2022 1st round pick (29th overall subsequently traded, Cole Strange)
  • Pick 2023 1st round pick (29th overall subsequently traded, Bryan Bresee)
  • Pick 2022 3rd round pick (102nd overall, Channing Tindall)
San Francisco 49ers
  • Pick 2021 1st round pick (3rd overall, Trey Lance)

Trade 2 of 3

Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Miami sent Kansas City five draft picks for Tyreek Hill and received an immediate superstar: 340 catches, 4,733 yards and 27 touchdowns through four Dolphins seasons, including consecutive 1,700-yard campaigns. Kansas City used Hill-related capital in several moves, including the trade up for Trent McDuffie, a two-time champion and All-Pro who later brought four more picks in 2026. Both sides prospered, but Kansas City's continuing asset tree earns a slight edge.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Player Tyreek Hill
Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2022 1st round pick (29th overall subsequently traded, Cole Strange), 2022 2nd round pick (50th overall subsequently traded, Tyquan Thornton), 2022 4th round pick (121st overall subsequently traded, Jack Jones), 2023 4th round pick (122nd overall subsequently traded, Jon Gaines) and 2023 6th round pick (178th overall subsequently traded, Eric Scott)

Trade 3 of 3

Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Kansas City traded picks No. 29, No. 94 and No. 121 to New England to move up to No. 21 for cornerback Trent McDuffie. McDuffie became a championship cornerstone, winning two Super Bowls with Kansas City and earning consecutive All-Pro recognition. New England received Cole Strange and additional draft capital, but none of that return approached McDuffie's elite value at a premium position.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2022 1st round pick (21st overall, Trent McDuffie)
New England Patriots
  • Pick 2022 1st round pick (29th overall, Cole Strange)
  • Pick 2022 3rd round pick (94th overall subsequently traded, Matt Corral)
  • Pick 2022 4th round pick (121st overall, Jack Jones)
