Miami's Laremy Tunsil trade became one of the most valuable asset hauls of the modern era. Houston acquired a legitimate franchise left tackle and protected Deshaun Watson, so the Texans' side was not empty. But Miami extracted a massive premium, gained roster-building flexibility, and turned one elite tackle into the kind of pick package that can reshape a franchise. The verdict remains clear.
Miami sent Houston picks No. 136 and No. 141 to move up to No. 111 for guard Solomon Kindley. Kindley started 13 games as a rookie but did not become a long-term Dolphins starter. Houston used No. 141 on John Reid and packaged No. 136 in another trade that moved the Texans to No. 126 for tackle Charlie Heck. That downstream flexibility produced the stronger overall return.
Miami acquired linebacker Benardrick McKinney and pick No. 231 from Houston for edge defender Shaq Lawson and pick No. 203. Neither veteran produced regular-season value for his new club, leaving the late-round selections to carry much of the comparison. Miami eventually used No. 231 on tackle Larnel Coleman, giving the Dolphins at least one realized player return from the exchange.
Houston moved up with Miami on April 26, 2025, receiving No. 116, used on running back Woody Marks, and No. 224, used on defensive tackle Kyonte Hamilton. Miami received No. 179, used on Ollie Gordon II, plus Houston's 2026 third-rounder. Marks immediately delivered the strongest rookie production in the package, giving Houston the early edge.
