Browns Trade For Davone Bess

Browns acquired WR Davone Bess from the Dolphins in exchange for a swap of mid-round draft picks.

Bess was nothing more than a sure-handed slot receiver in Miami, catching 321 passes over five seasons but averaging just 10.7 yards per grab and scoring a mere 12 touchdowns in 77 games. It's a low-risk grab for the Browns, who have Josh Gordon and Greg Little outside but question marks inside in the form of David Nelson. Bess, still just 27, has a good chance to emerge as the Browns' primary slot man this season. He has signed a three-year extension with Cleveland, adding to the one year he had remaining on his previous deal.

great move for cleveland. in essentce, they get bess for a 6th round pick. they swaped 4's and then gave up a 5 for a 7. nice move.

they have had a nice draft if you believe in who they picked. They had the trade with St Louis all ready to go, but Mingo was their guy at 6 so they took him.
People bitch about no round 2 pick, but they got josh Gordon and there is no WR coming out in this draft that i would take over Gordon. he was their 2nd round pick and a steal at that.
3rd round they got their CB and now they have Bess to add a vet WR in the slot.

hopefully its a good day today.

I loved me some Bess. Great guy, great worker, great hands, great route runner. Worked his way up from an undrafted FA. Part of me wonders why they got rid of a slot machine, but the other side knows why. He doesn't fit the type of offense they want to run because he lacks a lot of speed and he rarely gets in the endzone even though he catches a lot of balls. Cleveland got a great player, best of luck to him.
