Draft Josh Downs over Deebo Samuel Sr. Downs is higher on the canonical board (50th overall, 52 spots ahead) with a stronger modeled median (154.7 vs 123.8) and high-end ceiling (192.2 vs 157.9). His role command is also greater (38.7% vs 23.3%), which supports a steadier weekly floor. Downs carries lower risk (17 vs 29) and better playoff runway (53 vs 44). Timing-sensitive adjustments could affect Deebo later.

Deebo Samuel Sr. is the stronger alternative if his accepted workload expands, since his modeled ceiling can rise alongside median.
A newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment. Alec Pierce returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
