Browns select LB Joe Schobert with No. 99
April 30, 2016Browns select S Derrick Kindred of TCU with the No. 129 pick
April 30, 2016After taking LB Joe Schobert at No. 99, the Browns selected WR Ricardo Louis with the No. 114 pick of the fourth round, the pick received after trading back from No. 100 with the Oakland Raiders. Louis is a 6-foot-2, 215-pound senior receiver from Auburn. In 13 games last season, he caught 46 receptions for 716 yards and three touchdowns. He adds the big receiver the Browns are looking for in their shorter receiving corp. According to several evaluators, he is a player who could be converted to cornerback because of his shaky hands. He has the ideal measurables, though, being a big, fast and athletic receiver.
Mel Kiper of ESPN has Louis as his 61st best receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft. Take a look at what NFL.com has to say about the newest Browns receiver:
STRENGTHS: Thickly built wide out with a frame comparable to a running back. Handled substantial workload increase with dismissal of Duke Williams. Former “catch-and-run” receiver who proved effective with more complex routes. Gets open downfield with crisp routes and acceleration out of his breaks. Uses leverage, head fakes and subtle directional change to separate. Makes first tackler miss and will finish his run with some pop. Ran sweeps in Auburn rush attack and showed good field vision as runner. Aware and effective with footwork near sideline. Second gear is present against cornerbacks on skinny posts.
WEAKNESSES: Issues with focus drops and hauling in the tough, downfield catch with greater consistency. Gives away receptions by waiting rather than working back to throws allowing defenders to close and defend. Scheme created several openings in coverage he was able to exploit. Has route “tell” tied to stride length off the line. Stride much different off snap for deeper routes. On underneath routes, tries to push cornerbacks with arm churn over early acceleration.
Here are some of the highlights of the newest Browns receiver:

61st best receiver? Is that a typo or something? Or does Kiper really rate positions that deeply?
From the “Weaknesses” blurb, this doesn’t sound too promising.
I think the “catching” analytic needs to be more highly weighted in the sashiberrytron.
Although this late in the draft, everyone has flaws. His strengths seems pretty good.
