Ballard is making stop gap signings to put bodies on the roster while he waits to fill the position permanently in the draft. In theory this signing is fine, but to me it’s just a waste and points to Ballard seeing several drafts as the only way to build the roster. If Grant plays well do you see Ballard retaining him? I don’t. He’d be a one year wonder (Melvin) and not worth the risk. I’d much rather see a 2-3 year deal that overpaid annually but with team options (see Hanskins deal). At least if he performs you can keep him and build some continuity. I don’t see the value of one year deals for rebuilding teams. You incentivize personal numbers over team growth.
