He's roughly the same size as Hollywood Brown. He has not proven to be much of a deep threat in his NFL career. He primarily lines up in the slot, and there's some redundancy in that regard between him, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy. He's had a top-10 drop rate among NFL pass catchers this season.

Downs' slot redundancy, drop rate, and lack of deep-threat ability limit his ceiling.

Downs has significant limitations that prevent him from being a transformational addition to the Chiefs offense. He is roughly the same size as Hollywood Brown and has not proven to be much of a deep threat in his NFL career. He primarily lines up in the slot, creating redundancy with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. He has had a top-10 drop rate among NFL pass catchers this season. These limitations are reasons he was available for only Day 3 picks and why he shouldn't be viewed as transformational; the source emphasizes this was about improving the floor at the position, not the ceiling.
