Deal for 49ers: Ted Ginn is an awful receiver. He was tied for the league lead with 10 drops last year, despite having at least 23 fewer targets that the other three guys who had 10 drops. Despite his speed, he only averaged 1.4 YAC per catch. However, he’s an amazing kick returner and can help the Niners there in a big way. On 52 returns, he had 1296 yards and 2 touchdowns last year and for the Niners, who struggled in the return game, that could help them win games. Not bad for a 5th round pick, even if they have to pick up his salary.
Grade: B
Deal for Dolphins: They obviously were done with the 2007 9th overall pick. Ginn is a good kick returner, but there are plenty of other kick returners in the league they could use at a cheaper price. This deal is pretty much a wash for both sides.
