Ricardo Louis, WR

By Week 1, I believe Ricardo Louis will be starting. Rashard Higgins has drawn a lot of attention coming out of the draft as Colorado State’s most prolific receiver, but it’s actually Louis who possesses more upside.

Higgins is a gifted player, and he’ll certainly have a role, but he lacks elite speed. Louis, 6-foot-2, is taller than Higgins and runs a 4.4 40-yard dash

Since every member of the Dawg Pound has a better shot of winning the lottery than Josh Godon does of staying clean, why not line up a receiver with the same height with faster speed in his spot?

OK, my enthusiasm needs curbed maybe a little. The Tigers ran the ball a ton and Louis is far from polished. But between Coleman, Louis, Payton/Higgins, the Browns receiving corps. is better than it was last year.
