-- Be a Day One starter -- Perform as a superior NFL talent 1st round talent equivalents: -- Quenton Nelson -- Braden Smith -- DeForest Buckner (projecting but I think it is a safe bet) Gained 2nd round picks that flash potential but are not yet reliable superior performers (may become one, may not): -- Kamoko Turray -- Ben Banogu -- Rock Ya Sin -- Michael Pittman Jr Lower round guys who appear to be great depth pieces: -- Jordan Wilkins -- Marvell Tell That is UNBELIEVABLE value for three 1st round picks. He still got three guys who are day one superior contributors (again, projecting for Buckner), 4 more guys whom we hope will turn into mainstays on the team and then two guys who are quality depth. I love watching Ballard work the draft. If he continues to do what he has done so far, we are in great hands for years/decades to come. |

I never said he isn't tough. He is. I said he quit.

You can trash Andrew Luck all you want, but you have him to thank for us having Ballard. I seriously doubt Ballard would have ever come to the Colts if we didn't have Luck at the time. Recall that he turned down interviews from multiple teams (49ers, Jets, TB, maybe others), because he was waiting for the right situation. We happened to be able to provide that to him.
Then Luck unexpectedly retires a couple years after Ballard arrives, and Ballard STILL has us positioned to compete for the title a year later. All while managing our cap well with plenty of flexibility going forward. We have the best GM in football in my opinion. |

He also got us Buckner. Basically, he was our 1st rounder this year.

I think we had to pay that out or we would have been in danger of not spending enough cap. I think that also led to the lucrative deal Brisset got that he didn’t really earn.
