Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like Ballard pushed hard for Collins but backed off when the bidding got crazy. Couple that with how important a quality SS is in this scheme, and you have a big need there. I don’t think some people realize the Leonard-type impact that a great SS could have on the other half of the field.
Not only is Abram a badass heat seeking missile, but it also sounds like he’s a good guy and teammate, things we know Ballard values.
