I'm probably still drafting him more aggressively than I'm drafting Downs just because I think there's more upside there, you know, when he gets back and the price is really good... They didn't pay him $134 million to not be the wide receiver one.

Harris drafting Pierce more aggressively than Downs; $134M contract signals WR1 role.
Bob Harris indicates he is drafting Alec Pierce more aggressively than Josh Downs despite Pierce's injury recovery timeline, citing better upside once Pierce returns to the field and gets into shape. Harris notes Pierce was paid $134 million to be the WR1, resetting the market for receivers in his price range, and expects him to be the primary target once healthy. Matt Waldman's projections show Pierce at 91 targets (second among Colts receivers behind Downs' 114), positioning Pierce as the team's primary receiver once he returns.
