Browns urged to trade for Carolina Panthers draft bust image

The Cleveland Browns are riding the high of an upset win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, but their offense remains a huge problem. 

The Browns are averaging 15.7 points per game, which is the third-fewest in the league and their passing game ranks 29th in the league.

Because of this, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report wants to see the Browns make a move for a receiver. Specifically, Xavier Legette of the Carolina Panthers.

"It may not be a coincidence that Carolina had its best game of the season, a 30-0 romp over the Atlanta Falcons, with Legette out of the lineup," Knox writes. "Bryce Young has his top target in rookie Tetairoa McMillan, and receivers like Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne have been more reliable ancillary targets than Legette.

"While Legette's tape isn't great, he's still a physically impressive 6'3", 227-pound pass-catcher with an intriguing amount of upside. His trade value would be buoyed by his first-round rookie contract."

Considering the lack of a true No. 2 wideout on the Browns' depth chart, sending a Day Three pick to the Panthers for Legette may be worth the toss at the dart board.
