Rashard Higgins WR

Browns just set record for number of WR's picked in a Draft

Like Higgins, not sure why they've drafted 5 WR

LondonBrown

This is a promising write up for a pick this late, they have him as the 8th best WR in the whole class

Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado State

SUMMARY: A three-year starter, Higgins was barely a blip on the recruiting radar out of high school, but he made an instant impact at Colorado State, leading the team in receiving each of his three seasons in Fort Collins with 18 career 100-yard receiving performances – led the NCAA in receiving as a sophomore and was the first CSU player to earn consensus All-America honors since 1995. He lined up primarily as the “X” receiver in Colorado State’s offense and was asked to run a variety of routes, showing the instincts to exploit holes and get uncovered. Higgins isn’t a burner or sudden athlete, but he plays with synchronized shake and terrific footwork to plant-and-go without wasted movements in his routes. He is advanced in several areas at the position and might be the best receiver in this class at improvising to find open zones and give his quarterback a clean target. Although is lack of ideal size and speed will ding him on draft boards, Higgins has the production that matches the tape and his strengths translate well to the next level – second round prospect and NFL starter.

As hard Higgans was the guy I wanted

Well no one can say this FO ignored the Wide Receiver Position.

Trey Caldwell, CB

Only info on nfldrafttscout is they ranked him 76 of the 81 corners they scouted...

Maybe we wanna convert him to WR?

I'm telling you guys. Sometimes I get a good feeling about a guy... no homo.

Didn't you have "good feelings" about Manziel and Trent Richardson?

Still need a running back because RG3 can't be slinging it all day long.

Well I think its fair to say not all of these picks are going to make the roster, we need WR badly, so lets grab a bunch of guys and see who rises to the top.

Because we have the worst WR corps in pro football?

Rob Rang and Dane Brugler gave Browns an F for Higgans and a C for Payton.

My punter to the Chargers. Lambo the kicker who went there last year must have told them about him.

Bruglers draft preview has Higgins ranked 8th best WR??

Doesnt add up to an F grade

Well The F was not for the talent but because we have drafted 5 WRs which I think is a stupid reason to give a grade. We need help at the position we got a ton of picks we know not everyone is making this roster that we draft so screw those guys, just evaluate the pick on the value and how many kids we drafted at that position.

Amen

cambridgeho

Cant wait to hear the presser on the wr thought process.

gftChris

ANd Boehringer goes to the vikings. If we were taking every receiver possible I wouldn't have minded him.

gftChris

Also my guess, say goodbye to Gabriel and probably Hawkins. Coleman, Hartline, others? Al Saunders had better be as good as advertised, with these 5 receivers, plus terrelle pryor, to turn in to NFL players.

He led the nation in receiving in 2014 but then they had shitty QB's this year. He can run routes really well. I'm happier about him than the Princeton reach.

I just mentioned it because I liked Higgans four picks ago. How do you give an F? The Pundits are always anti Brown.
