Stampede Blue on Josh Downs
From the article
My valuation would be a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick...A third-round pick is certainly possible if several contenders become involved, but I would consider that an excellent outcome rather than the most likely return.
STACKED’s take
Downs valued at 2027 fourth and 2028 fifth-round picks; third-round possible but unlikely given recent comps.
Daniel Jones values Downs at a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick in a trade. This valuation acknowledges his younger age advantage over recent comparable trades (Meyers received fourth and sixth-round picks; Shaheed received fourth and fifth-round picks), but his lack of high-end production and primarily slot-based role make it difficult to justify substantially greater compensation. A third-round pick is possible if multiple contenders become involved, but Jones considers that an excellent outcome rather than the most likely return. The valuation falls slightly below what Seattle surrendered for Shaheed when accounting for the additional year of waiting for the fifth-round selection.
