Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Miami sent tackle Darryl Carlton to Tampa Bay for veteran tackle Mike Current and the Buccaneers' 1978 fifth-round pick. Current started 45 games for the Dolphins from 1977 through 1979. Miami later returned the same fifth-round asset to Tampa Bay in a separate August 30 trade for Steve Young, so Young is a downstream use of the pick rather than a direct asset in this exchange.
Trade 2 of 2
On 1980-03-13, Tampa Bay Buccaneers received several 1981 draft picks, while Washington received Darryl Carlton, Morris Owens. The hindsight verdict is Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers graded B- and Washington graded C+. The evaluation follows the documented consideration and the football value that can be traced from it, while keeping unverified downstream pick identities or conditional outcomes out of the final judgment.
