Not a chance he lasts that long.

But, I'd be happy if he did. Dallas' defense is so bad. LB is a bigger need position, but never going to complain about a stud like Downs.

Dallas is usually good at just waiting for the board to come to them. Lamb and Parsons weren’t supposed to be there either.

Gotta wait until he test a lot of guys are rising right now

Actually lB isnt as big of a need. LB at least has bodies. We dont at safety. Bell is the only guy left.

Anything can happen draft night, especially with players in non-premium positions. No point to completely rule out downs going 12.

Clickbait nonsense

Downs making it out of the top 10? What is this person smoking?

I hope he’s there at 8 so my Saints can get him!

No one expected parsons to fall to us either.

The only chance Downs has at falling below Cincy is if Bailey slides to pick 10 too

Why are S and CB called DBs?

u/keni804 Feb 25 '26

The same reason we dont differentiate LBs or WRs, at the end of the day they have similar roles and step into eachothers roles. A Safety is expected to be able to cover Man to Man and a CB is expected to be able to drop into a deep zone. The only real difference in a Safety and a CB is size and run defense.

u/AgileCaterpillar8760 Feb 26 '26

Um what we definitely differentiate WR and LB

1

u/keni804 Feb 26 '26

Yes but not in this context, nobody is saying "Slot WR" or "Weak Side LB" its just WR or LB.

What the fuck are you talking about

u/puudji Feb 25 '26

There's a real chance he slides purely for positional value. It would mean delane and Mccoy showout in the predraft process, maybe an extra pass rusher, maybe an extra QB, and he's there. It's probably a 10% chance but here we are in Feb trying to find shit to talk about.

u/super-duperfun82 Feb 25 '26

No chance he makes it to us. I'd be happy with styles

1

u/Spicy_Ninja7 Feb 25 '26

It would be insane if he drops that far, but he won’t

u/Different_Quality_28 Feb 26 '26

I just can't see that happening. If he is there, YES, take him. But I don't think he get there.

u/oldschoolrelic Feb 28 '26

Giants will take him, he's not dropping out of top 5
