The quarterback situation is disheartening, but if you're drafting on talent and upside, he's the Colt to target.

Talented slot target who should see heavy volume with Jones capable of feeding him short-area targets. He just can't stay healthy and is already dealing with (another) soft tissue injury.

Downs has a big-play element to his game when working with an aggressive downfield thrower. Anthony Richardson is that guy, but Daniel Jones isn't. 

Expect Daniel Jones to get the first shot at the starting gig, so Downs will see lower efficiencies. 

Still, Downs is likely to lead this team in targets, catches, and yardage. Downs the safest bet in this pedestrian pass offense.

Amazing athlete. Great collegiate and NFL production. Fantastic route runner. Reliable hands. Talented enough to overcome the boatload of target competition. Remains to be seen whether he's talented enough to overcome the poor quarterback situation.

I'd like to see him play a season fully healthy and with a halfway decent quarterback.
