I think we go WR this round since the OT's and CB's will be gone. The pick we get for Bess probably won't be used on a WR but you never know.

turns out we got no picks. Just swapped our 4th and 5th for their 4th and 5th.

Don't like it.

moved up 7 and 8 spots in each round. Don't like it either. Told you they didn't want to pay a #4 receiver that much money.

Guess it was that or nothing. Plus they saved $2.6 million in cap space. Bess will have a break out year. Quality person, I wish him the best.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I really liked Bess, although he never made big plays and was strictly a slot WR.

Bess will be at least the 3rd option at WR behind Gordon and Little. He will also have a lousy QB throwing to him, so I wouldn't expect a breakout year.

Considering he was going to get cut if he didn't get traded, I would say getting something is better than nothing.

The Dolphins announce they have traded Davone Bess, a 4th-round pick and a 7th-round pick to Cleveland for a 4th-round and a 5th-round pick.

Agreed. Good player and class act who played hard for us and represented the franchise with dignity.

Good story. Good dude. I hope he does well.

There's also more to consider. Bess had a sore back and didn't play the last two games that the management felt he could have played, even though these were meaningless garbage games with no shot at a playoff berth. I think that situation could have possibly created some animosity between Bess and his bosses.

Too bad. I really like Bess. Whether the trade with Cleveland amounts to anything of value in return for us remains to be seen. I know for sure he'll help them to keep drives alive, and I wish him the best. At this point I'm at least relieved that he's not with the Pats.
