Miami acquired Isaiah Wilson and a 2022 seventh-round selection that ultimately became Skylar Thompson. Wilson was waived only three days after the trade, but Thompson later started NFL games for Miami and gave the club meaningful value from the future pick. The B- grade reflects that mixed package and a modest edge in realized return over Tennessee.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange

Miami Dolphins received Isaiah Wilson; 2022 7th round pick (247th overall, Skylar Thompson), while Tennessee Titans received 2021 7th round pick (232nd overall subsequently traded, Phil Hoskins). Historical team, player, and draft records support the compensation and provide enough career context to compare what each side actually gained.
Miami Dolphins Return
Miami acquired Isaiah Wilson and a 2022 seventh-round selection that ultimately became Skylar Thompson. Wilson was waived only three days after the trade, but Thompson later started NFL games for Miami and gave the club meaningful value from the future pick. The B- grade reflects that mixed package and a modest edge in realized return over Tennessee.
Tennessee Titans Return
Tennessee received Miami's 2021 seventh-round selection, later tied to Phil Hoskins, after moving Isaiah Wilson and a future seventh-rounder. The Titans escaped a failed first-round situation and recovered a small asset, but the eventual on-field value of Miami's Skylar Thompson pick gives the Dolphins the better result. The C+ grade reflects Tennessee's limited recovery.
Value in Hindsight
This deal is remembered for Isaiah Wilson's immediate failure in Miami, but the future seventh-round pick changed the balance. Skylar Thompson eventually started games for the Dolphins, while Tennessee's returned seventh-round value remained modest. The Dolphins therefore gain a narrow hindsight edge even though the player acquisition itself quickly failed.
Final Verdict
The final call is Miami Dolphins Win. Miami Dolphins earns a B-, and Tennessee Titans earns a C+. Those grades weigh the supported compensation, the quality and duration of the resulting contributions, and the practical football value each club ultimately realized from the exchange.
