Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Miami sent veteran receiver Davone Bess plus two later picks to Cleveland and received picks No. 104 and 164, which became linebacker Jelani Jenkins and running back Mike Gillislee. Jenkins developed into a multi-year Dolphins starter, giving Miami the best direct return. Bess lasted one season in Cleveland, while Armonty Bryant provided some defensive production. The Dolphins’ longer-lasting starting value creates the edge.
