Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Miami sent Jacksonville the 60th and 99th picks for four selections: Nos. 79, 98, 134 and 150. The Dolphins' most valuable direct result was Shane Burton, who played 47 games and made 12 starts for Miami before continuing a 125-game NFL career. Jacksonville selected Michael Cheever at No. 60 and later moved No. 99 for more picks. Both teams created useful pieces, but Miami's larger package produced the better direct return.
Trade 2 of 2
Miami sent Kansas City the 98th pick and a 1997 seventh-rounder for the 113th and 125th picks. Kansas City used No. 98 on linebacker Donnie Edwards, who became a 197-game NFL starter with 107 career Approximate Value. Miami selected Kirk Pointer and LaCurtis Jones; neither became a meaningful long-term contributor. Edwards' career makes the Chiefs the overwhelming winner despite the extra future pick they surrendered.
