I'm looking at Josh Downs. We can't afford drafting our next receiver who has a history of catching under 60% of his passes.
Downs caught 94 out of 116 targets last year, good for over 80% catch rate.
Super quick, good short, intermediate and vertical.
Would love to trade down and take him at the end of the 1st too of the 2nd and pick up and extra pick...
Anyway, I think Downs has the best hands out of the early slot guys. He can be the underneath safety blanket that keeps the chains moving, and also torch the defense deep.
Also need another outside threat. I like A.T. Perry right now if he lasts to the 4th. Tall and fluid, very good body control.
I feel like we need to add two legitimate receivers, and probably have to trade back...
Another dark horse of mine to help improve the passing game. A late pick on RB Evan Hull. Had over 500 yards receiving this year and is nick named baby Ekler. Was clocked at almost 20moh during the senior bowl and rushed for 75 yards...
Very fluid recover out of the backfield, might make those quick swings to the back just that much easier for Josh to take in rhythm.
