Deep Pick choiceDraft Josh Downs over Khalil Shakir if both are on the board. Josh Downs is WR33 and No. 80 overall, 15 spots ahead, with a 149.6-point median and 185.6-point high end versus 133.7 and 169.7 for Khalil Shakir. The role split (37.6% vs 30.0%) helps explain the separation; Khalil Shakir 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.
