Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders

Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard Confidence: medium

Miami received fullback Jim Braxton and Washington's 1979 third-round pick at No. 80. Braxton's Dolphins stay was brief, but Miami later used the No. 80 selection in the March 1979 deal for safety Neal Colzie, preserving meaningful value from the draft asset. The hindsight grade is B-, with the overall verdict recorded as Miami Dolphins Win.

Trade 2 of 2

Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Miami acquired defensive back Neal Colzie from the Raiders in March 1979 for a third-round selection, No. 80. Colzie immediately started all 16 games for the Dolphins and intercepted five passes in his lone Miami season. The Raiders retained useful draft value and later combined No. 80 with another pick in the deal for defensive lineman Dave Pear, so their return was not empty. Colzie's direct full-season impact gives Miami a narrow, defensible edge.

Assets Received

Las Vegas Raiders
  • Pick 1979 third round pick (#80) [later traded with 1979 second round pick (#33-Greg Roberts (b)) to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Dave Pear]
Miami Dolphins
  • Player Neal Colzie
