Practiced in full all week. Especially now with Pittman questionable, Downs may not have a choice but to play a lot of snaps.

I think Downs is the easy choice between the two. While Pierce has started to show some signs, part of the reason that Richardson is firing deep so often (and Indy isn't passing the ball much) is that he doesn't have a quick separator underneath. Downs was reportedly having the best camp of all of the receivers before getting hurt and the Colts have noted they want to make sure Downs is fully healed before they bring him back. I'm sure that is for a good reason.

Great minds ... drafted Brooks and Hollywood in The Huddle Auction on Tuesday night.

Thanks. I'll make sure I talk to my agent and have him reach out to Mike

FWIW, I had not started my stat projections (only target and carry projections) when this draft started. I have since added Christian Watson and DeAndre Hopkins.

16.05 - D/ST Lions

13.08 - WR Josh Downs, IND

I am firmly in the camp that Odunze is the clear No. 3. I completely disagree Kmet is a major consideration. I expect him to split time with Everett (not that I agree with that, just that I expect Waldron to lean that way).

I completely agree. He is still top five IMO, but he falls behind Hurts and Mahomes at the very least.

Time will tell obviously, but I think he will end up being worth at least an eighth-round pick.

I will not pretend to understand why Odunze is still available in the 12th round. I understand he may be third in the pecking order for targets, but what if he is considered something more than a deep threat in this offense? Or what is his upside if/when Keenan Allen gets hurt? His upside alone is worth the investment.

12.05 WR Rome Odunze, CHI

I think Herbert is an easy pick here. I get why he has fallen out of QB1 territory, but I think the majority of people forget (or never knew) how good of an athlete he is. I expect Herbert to run more than he ever has and top 400 yards rushing for the first time. Hopefully, he will also become a bigger part of the red zone package and run in a few more this year.
