Based on ESPN's draft pick valuations, the Dolphins gained the equivalent of a mid-first round pick in extra value through its two trades today. That's working under the assumption that future picks end up as the 17th pick in their round, and without discounting the value of future selections relative to this year. And it's also despite Miami actually giving up more value than it got back in its trade with the Eagles. Altogether though, Miami was a clear winner in terms of value today.
