But I really like the Downs pick. Not the prototypical Ballard WR but this kid was just productive in college! |
Much different than the mold we've been going after in recent years. This is a solid route runner with sure hands. More like a Manning-era WR. Also returned punts.
|
Watched him several times, kid has moves and quicks. Definitely in the TY mold and there is nothing wrong with that.
|
Steichen’s input?
|
Downs plays bigger than 5'9". Interesting they drafted him after signing McKenzie. They must want slot covered.

mckenzie was paid nothing. |
Downs excels against zone coverages. In my Richardson breakdown, I talked about how AR will force teams to play zone defenses because of the threat of his running. Teams will constantly be spying the backfield afraid he will take off.
Seems Ballard is starting to build for Steichen's offensive needs. On a sidenote, Reggie told Downs on the phone that he needed him before the draft and that he was the best receiver in the draft hands down. |
