NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Buffalo acquired 1973 first round pick (#26-Joe Delamielleure) from Miami Dolphins for Marlin Briscoe. Buffalo converted a player or rights asset into draft capital, which is usually sound portfolio management unless the player became a major contributor elsewhere. Without a clear star outcome attached, the Bills receive a modest value edge for gaining flexible future capital
Buffalo Bills Received
- pick 1973 first round pick (#26-Joe Delamielleure)

Miami Dolphins Received
- player Marlin Briscoe
- player Jim Dunaway
Trade Analysis
Miami Dolphins received Marlin Briscoe and gave up 1973 first round pick (#26-Joe Delamielleure). The even verdict reflects a low-separation exchange where the recorded player, pick, cash, or rights value does not create a clear long-term winner.
