NFL Trade Verdict

Indianapolis Colts Win

Miami acquired 2013 2nd round pick (54th overall, Jamar Taylor) from Colts for Vontae Davis. The original C- already leaned against Miami, and the second pass treats that slight disadvantage as a narrow loss rather than leaving it buried as an Even. The grade still accounts for era, role, uncertainty in conditional picks or cash terms, and whether the traded asset produced meaningful on-field value after the move

Trade Analysis

Colts received Vontae Davis and gave up 2013 2nd round pick (54th overall, Jamar Taylor). From the partner side, this becomes B- because Miami's revised outcome carries the opposite value judgment.
