Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings
Miami acquired Daunte Culpepper from Minnesota for the 51st pick in the 2006 draft while Culpepper was still recovering from a devastating knee injury. He started only four games for the Dolphins, throwing two touchdowns and three interceptions before the experiment ended. Minnesota used No. 51 on Ryan Cook, who became a versatile offensive lineman and made 40 career starts, giving the Vikings useful value while Miami absorbed one of the era's most costly quarterback misses.
