Cleveland Browns select WR Ricardo Louis

The Cleveland Browns selected WR Ricardo Louis from Auburn with the No. 114 pick in the 4th round.

The Cleveland Browns began the day on the clock once again as they owned picks No. 99 and No. 100 to begin the fourth round. With the No. 99 overall pick the Browns selected Wisconsin linebacker Joe Schubert.

The Browns then traded No. 100 overall pick to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for No. 114 pick in the fourth round and the No. 154 pick in the fifth round.

With the No. 114 overall pick the Browns drafted another wide receiver in Ricardo Louis from Auburn. The Browns viewed receiver as a huge position of need and addressed it for the second time in the draft. Louis has good size for the receiver position at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds. Louis had a fantastic senior emerging as the Tigers top receiving option season at Auburn recording 46 receptions for 716 yards and three touchdowns.

CBS sports draft expert Dane Brugler viewed Louis as a project but someone who has the measurables to develop at the receiver position:

"An impressive size/speed athlete, Louis is capable of the acrobatic grab due to his length and athleticism, but has shown unreliable ball-skills over his career and there isn’t much that separates him as a player right now – late round size/speed developmental project."

Louis showed his athletic ability by testing well at the NFL combine. Louis ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and recorded a 132 inch broad jump.

Louis struggled with drops and is considered a raw prospect at the receiver position. However, Louis is a big bodied receiver that has upside if it all clicks for him.
