Levitan notes that while Downs is a talented player, his rising ADP to 86 makes him less of a 'smash' pick than he was at 100. Risks include the return of Alec Pierce to full health and the potential signing of Keenan Allen, which could impact Downs' role. However, he remains a target at 86 due to his age-25 upside and the Colts' thin wide receiver depth.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
