Miami Dolphins Win
Miami acquired Don Nottingham; 1974 sixth round pick (#136-Randy Crowder) from Colts for Hubert Ginn / Hubie Ginn. The player or pick Miami received produced enough identifiable usefulness to separate the deal from a true wash on second review. 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 Hubert Ginn / Hubie Ginn and gave up Don Nottingham; 1974 sixth round pick (#136-Randy Crowder). From the partner side, this becomes C+ because Miami's revised outcome carries the opposite value judgment. The partner assessment mirrors the same second-pass logic: actual player utility, draft capital converted into real contributors, opportunity cost, and whether the trade created lasting roster value beyond the transaction itself
