The Browns didn't wait until their first pick on Sunday, No. 122 overall, to get the linebacker they wanted. So they traded with Dallas to move up to No. 104 to select UNLV's Beau Bell.¶
Cleveland surrendered the 122nd pick, along with its fifth-rounder, No. 155.¶
Known as a big hitter, Bell, 6-1 1/2 and 250 pounds, totalled 320 career tackles, second on the school's all-time list. He added 10.5 sacks, 27 tackles for losses, six forced fumbles, one recovery, five pass deflections and four interceptions, one for a touchdown.¶
The Cowboys were also the Browns' trade partner last year when Cleveland nabbed quarterback Brady Quinn 22nd overall.¶
