Actually, they got a 2nd rounder AND 7th round selection for Welker from the Pats.

The Dolphins were amenable, shipping Welker to the Patriots for second- and seventh-round draft choices.

At the time of the trade, Miami made out like a bandit.

Look at his numbers in Miami the two years.

2005-----29 recs 434yards
2006-----67recs 687 yards

Getting a 2nd and 7th rounder for a guy that only produced those kinds of stats is a work of genius really. Especially for a undrafted free agent.
