Dolphins Give Up 4th Rounder for TE Fasano and MLB Ayodele

This is a clear victory for the Dolphins. With little in the way of a starting TE, Anthony Fasano is a solid acquisition. You throw in Akin Ayodele, who could start right beside Channing Crowder in the 3-4, and you just got two starters for a 4th round draft pick. Zach Thomas' arrival in Dallas made Ayodele expendable, and Fasano wasn't a good fit in Offensive Co-ordinator Jason Garrett's scheme, however the Cowboys really lost out here. Ayodele still had some years left and will now play them in Miami. You're replacing him with an older player, which is basically an admission that you're making a Super Bowl run, and then getting worse. Parcells did a good job here, Jerry Jones... less so.
