Miami Dolphins Win
Miami acquired 1997 4th round pick (123rd overall subsequently traded, Chad Levitt) from 49ers for Terry Kirby. Miami added quantity and flexibility, a sensible process win unless the outgoing asset became clearly superior. This grade weighs both process and hindsight: the draft capital or player value Miami surrendered, the value it received, and whether the trade created durable roster impact rather than just short-term depth. Where records are incomplete, conditional, voided, or future-dated, the grade is intentionally conservative

Trade Analysis
