San Francisco moved from No. 63 to No. 57 in the 2014 second round, sending Miami picks No. 63 and 171. The 49ers selected running back Carlos Hyde, while the Dolphins selected receiver Jarvis Landry and linebacker Jordan Tripp. Hyde became a productive starter, so San Francisco received real value. Landry, however, became a three-time Pro Bowler in four Miami seasons and the franchise's primary receiver. Miami won a strong trade for both sides.
Miami Dolphins Received

- pick 2014 5th round pick (171st overall, Jordan Tripp )
San Francisco 49ers Received
- pick 2014 2nd round pick (57th overall, Carlos Hyde )
Trade Analysis
Why the Deal Happened
San Francisco wanted Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde and used part of its large 2014 draft inventory to move up. The 49ers sent picks No. 63 and No. 171 to Miami for No. 57. Miami had just acquired No. 57 from the Chargers and chose to move down again rather than make a selection there.
What Each Side Received
San Francisco selected Hyde at No. 57. Miami selected LSU receiver Jarvis Landry at No. 63 and linebacker Jordan Tripp at No. 171. Unlike many trade-down comparisons, both clubs found meaningful value because Hyde and Landry each became important offensive players.
How the Value Developed
Hyde eventually took over as San Francisco's primary running back and produced multiple productive seasons, giving the 49ers a solid return on the move-up cost. Landry became even more valuable for Miami. He played all 64 games across four Dolphins seasons, developed into a high-volume possession receiver and made three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2015 through 2017. His 112 catches in 2017 set a Dolphins single-season record. Tripp's contribution was limited, but the second asset is not needed to establish Miami's advantage.
Why Miami Gets the Edge
The Dolphins moved down only six spots and still selected the best player in the exchange. Landry's durability, receiving volume and league recognition exceeded Hyde's already respectable San Francisco career. The 49ers should not be punished heavily because they acquired a legitimate starting back; Miami simply did better with the picks it received.
Final Verdict
Miami earns an A for landing a three-time Pro Bowl receiver plus another selection while moving down six spots. San Francisco receives a B because Hyde was a productive starter and justified much of the cost. The Dolphins win a trade in which both teams can point to real football value.
