From the episode

I would say that my ranking of Josh Downs is kind of all offseason. Has A, baked in an ADP that I think is largely inefficient. ... I still think he's a pretty strong pick.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Downs remains a strong pick; market pessimism regarding Keenan Allen is overblown.

Despite the signing of Keenan Allen, the source remains optimistic about Josh Downs. The source argues that the market's pessimistic reaction is an overreaction, noting that the Colts intend to keep Downs in two-wide receiver sets while using Allen in a specialized, third-down-focused role. Downs' ADP is considered inefficient, and he remains a strong pick.
