> Dolphins — Traded Larry Ball, 1976 fifth round pick (#145-Steadman Scavella) to Lions for 1976 fourth round pick (#96-Melvin Mitchell) on 1975-09-07

 

"Melvin Mitchell (96) (from Detroit for Larry Ball)" per Dolphins web site, but we believe this to be in error for three reasons: a) the sixth pick should have been the Jets pick initially, b) the Jets web site says the Jets traded their fourth round pick to the Dolphins, and c) there is another documented trade of a fourth round pick from Lions > Dolphins (#108) that makes more sense
