Colts select WR Josh Downs

[danlhart87]

There is our slot guy yes

[ColtV]

Love this

[danlhart87]

[tvturner]

His ceiling is TY Hilton

Ballard picking someone who is 5'10 is something I thought I'd never see.

 

Have no idea about the dude though, hope he's good!

Edit: 5"10

[GoColts8818]

Like it.  I know the Colts need a guard but you can get a starting guard in the fourth or fifth round.  Downs fills a hole made by losing Campbell.  Always a good idea to give your new QB a new toy at WR too.

[RollerColt]

Welcome to Indy, Josh!

[CR91]

Was really hoping Hyatt would fall to us, but Downs is good too. Kinda surprised he lasted this long.

[ColtsLegacy]

How is our inaccurate QB supposed to hit such a small target?

[07dleigh]

Let's gooooo! Called it in my group chat a few picks ago lol. I suddenly like our receiving group.. pretty well rounded.

 

Any good iOL left?

[joecolts]

Great pick!!!  Slot guy right there.  Welcome Josh Downs!!

[James]

Very small, but great route running. 

 

Perfect for the slot.

From Walter Football:

 

Indianapolis Colts: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina - A Grade  
The Colts lost Parris Campbell, so it makes sense that they'd go after a slot receiver. He's a talented player who easily could have gone off the board a round earlier than this. I'm a big fan of this selection. 

[ShuteAt168]

Exciting pick! 

[chad72]

We got our Wes Welker  

[runtelldat]

THAT'S ANOTHER INDIANAPOLIS COLTS... FIRST DOWNSSSS! LETS GO! Killing it so far.

[stitches]

Very good value in the 3d... he's small but incredibly tough at the catch point. He had some insanely high contested catch %(I think it was over 70%)... I wouldn't call him a burner but he has good quickness and speed. Replacement for Campbell in the slot...

He sounds like an anti-Campbell... And that's a good thing!

[compuls1v3]

I'm loving this draft so far.  Get a good Guard and LB and I'll be happy!!

[07dleigh]

Don't forget that we have Mckenzie... who is very good in his own right. That's a great battle that I'm not even sure Downs wins right away. Good problem.

More weapons for Ant.

 

That's fun to say.

[IinD]

Never heard of him, know nothing about him but if you're having a bad day his YouTube highlights will get you amped up .. Lol.

 

Welcome to the shoe.

Could be this years Raimann pick.  A guy who should have gone sooner that feel to them and could be a steal.

[ProblChld32]

Love it , he was projected to go in the 2nd . Surprised he lasted as long as he did.

He's actually not a burner. Reminds me more of a Cole Beasley which in isn't bad.

[Dobbinblitz]

RSP Scouting projects him as a Hunter Renfrow comp/ comparison with excellent short area explosion and technique

[IanColts22]

Well as long as he doesn't remind people of Paris Glass Campbell

Not necessarily talking about speed when it comes to the comparison

 

Moreso route running, separation, shiftiness, and a match-up exploit

Downs runs better routes.

Hyatt is a burner but he is overrated - hit or miss prospect.

Yup 

 Feisty over the middle. Faster than Cole but has that make up. Just a good football player and not a typical Ballard guy.

I know this is a joke but this is a good point.

Yeah. He is a burner but doesn't sound tough. Can be punched at the line. Hyatt I mean

Welker, Beasley clone. Juat a tough little football player.

With all our tall targets he can just play peek a boo and look for an open spot!!!

[coltsfanej]

I love this pick! Great value and fills a need! Imo he’s an upgrade to Parris in almost every area.

4.4 guy, that’s speed.
