Dez, while mouthy has proven to be a stud receiver. I think fans put too much stock into draft picks.

If I were a GM, knowing the bust rate of picks anyway, to give up two picks for the chance to have an elite receiver who is proven... I do it.

Consider the busts since 2000 at the position. If you need a WR, why not give up two first round picks for an elite one, when your odds of drafting an elite WR with those two picks are minimal at best.

Busts:
Ashley Lelie
Javon Walker
Charles Rodgers
Bryant Johnson
Reggie Williams
Michael Clayton
Rashaun Woods
Troy Williamson
Mike Williams
Matt Jones
Mark Clayton
Buster Davis
Anthony Gonzalez
Darius Heyward-Bey
Justin Blackmon
A.J. Jenkins
Tavon Austin (TBD)
Cordarelle Patterson (TBD)

Cleveland has 2 first round picks this year.

The Browns have two this year don't they?

Yup and they have a bunch of cap space and they absolutely need a number 1 receiver with all of Gordon's problems.
