Trade Analysis
The April 18, 1999 draft-day exchange is documented in the Colts' official trade history and in San Francisco's draft records. Indianapolis sent its fourth-round pick at No. 99 and sixth-round pick at No. 171 to San Francisco for pick No. 96. The Colts selected Central Florida defensive back Paul Miranda. The 49ers used No. 99 on Weber State defensive back Anthony Parker and No. 171 on Michigan wide receiver Tai Streets. The move produced only limited value for Indianapolis. NFL statistics show Miranda appearing in five games for the Colts in 1999 without a start. He recorded two tackles and no interceptions before his career continued with Seattle. That gave Indianapolis some rookie depth but little sustained return from moving up. San Francisco's first acquired pick did not work out either. The 49ers' 2000 media guide states that Parker tore his left ACL in training camp and spent his entire 1999 rookie season on injured reserve, leaving him with zero regular-season games that year. The decisive value came from the sixth-round selection. Streets became a useful part of San Francisco's receiving corps across five seasons. NFL statistics show him playing 65 games for the 49ers from 1999 through 2003, making 34 starts and catching 168 passes for 2,008 yards and 13 touchdowns. His best seasons came in 2002 and 2003, when he combined for 119 receptions, 1,351 yards and 12 touchdowns and started 30 of 32 games. That production turns a three-slot move down into a clear San Francisco success even though Parker never contributed. Indianapolis received five games from Miranda, while San Francisco received five seasons of meaningful receiver production from Streets. TradeVerdicts therefore changes the legacy Even Trade verdict to San Francisco 49ers Win. San Francisco receives a B+ because the extra sixth-rounder became a productive multi-year starter despite the fourth-round pick failing. Indianapolis receives a D because its move-up produced only five games and no starts. Confidence is high because the official Colts trade ledger, 49ers draft records and player statistics all align on the exchange and realized outcomes.
