The Colts take WR Josh Downs at No. 79, a clean slot WR from a football family.

The Colts take North Carolina WR Josh Downs at 79, and that's a great pick—hyperproductive slot from a football family who'll probably play a decade in the league.

Josh Downs will start in the slot for the Colts from Day 1, I think. And that's a really fun WR corps.
