Why it happened
The bet each side made
The Texans needed immediate protection for Deshaun Watson. The Dolphins accepted a teardown package and repeatedly moved the premium selections.
Why history remembers it
Tunsil became Houston's long-term Pro Bowl tackle, while Miami transformed the draft capital into branches that included Jaylen Waddle, Jevon Holland and further first-round control.
The family tree
Where the picks and rights went
Selections, swaps and later trades are traced separately so a downstream player is not mistaken for a direct one-for-one return.

What changed
The consequences

- The deal supplied core pieces on both sides rather than producing a simple one-season verdict.
