Elite red zone conversion (75%) and McCarthy connection make Dowdle a value play
Rico DowdleRBPIT
Rico Dowdle converted 6 of 8 red zone opportunities in Carolina last year (75%), significantly better than Jalen Warren's 29%. He played with Mike McCarthy during his breakout 1,000-yard rushing season when he took the job from Ezekiel Elliott. Dowdle is solid in the passing game with fine hands and a 77%+ catch rate over the past three years (yards per catch: 8.5, 6.4, 7.6). The source leans Dowdle in the draft based on ADP discount and the possibility he becomes the first and second down guy with goal-line work, still getting plenty of targets under Rodgers.
