Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins
Even Trade Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami acquired linebacker Bob Brudzinski and the 1981 second-round pick used on fullback Andra Franklin, producing two major contributors. Brudzinski started for years and Franklin rushed for 2,232 yards with a Pro Bowl season. Los Angeles received the picks that included linebacker Jim Collins plus valuable selections later moved in other deals. Collins became a Pro Bowler and long-term Rams starter. Both organizations built substantial value, supporting an Even Trade.
Pick 1982 second round pick (#44) [later traded with Lewis Gilbert and 1982 third round pick (#77-Robert Abraham) to Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Mike Barber (Dwayne), 1982 third round pick (#67-Bill Bechtold) and 1982 eighth round pick (#207-Mile Reilly)]
Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
The Rams acquired tight end Mike Barber plus 1982 picks No. 67 and No. 207 from Houston. The Oilers received Lewis Gilbert and picks No. 44 and No. 77, which became Oliver Luck and Robert Abraham. Barber gave Los Angeles several productive seasons, including 55 catches for 657 yards in 1983. Abraham became a 60-start linebacker for Houston, and Luck added quarterback depth, giving the Oilers the slight overall edge.
Denver Broncos acquired Mike Barber (Dwayne) from Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams for 1986 twelfth round pick (#328-Marcus DuPree). The final verdict remains Denver Broncos Win, with the grades reflecting the recorded asset value and the available historical return.
