Caleb Downs, a two‑time All‑American who transferred from Alabama to Ohio State, showcased a rare blend of coverage, run support and positional flexibility. He can play in the box, deep, slot, nickel or dime, a versatility that teams value when building modern defenses.
Despite the draft’s traditional bias toward positions like quarterback or offensive tackle, Downs’ impact play has drawn comparisons to Super Bowl‑winning safety Nick Emmanwori, who was a second‑round pick. Downs’ performance and measurable attributes have positioned him as a likely first‑round selection, potentially inside the top ten, as NFL teams increasingly prioritize versatile safeties.
