Risky way to go but if it works....

That's certainly true and I think it plays into how Ballard is trying to build this team. These seem to be the things most important to his philosophy:
-Win at line of scrimmage
-Speed and athleticism
-Character
-Create turnovers
I think we'll see a lot more emphasis on that last point in the next few drafts.
