Draft Josh Downs over Deebo Samuel Sr. if both are on the board. Josh Downs is WR31 and No. 75 overall, 43 spots ahead, with a 154.7-point median and 192.2-point high end versus 123.8 and 157.9 for Deebo Samuel Sr.. The role split (38.7% vs 23.3%) helps explain the separation; Deebo Samuel Sr. still has a real bull-case path, but Josh Downs is the cleaner pick unless 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.
