I buy into points 1 and 2,,,,,from the beginning Ballard was preaching patience and the long term aspect of this rebuild. I think he was prepared for this year to be extraordinarily bad which is why I said before that I think he was ok with Pagano being the front man for this suckage while he got his ducks in a row. I thing the Cowerd theory is way off on the Jacoby business. I think Ballard bought into chucks Tolzein love (bad on him) and didn't work on the QB position until it was clear that that was a dumpster fire too. I heard that Ballard had been scouting Jacoby for quite some time in KC which is why he was able to pull the trigger so quickly when it was clear that Scott wasn't viable. Everything else that may happen re upcoming draft is just a product of everything else vs a master plan. If his plan was to showcase Jacoby to fatten him up for trade bait he would have brought him in earlier when the poor kid had time to actually learn the system vs getting his ass handed to him when his head is buried in his armband.
