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

His dad played in the NFL, as did his uncle Dre Bly.

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.

A gift for Anthony Richardson.

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

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.
