I also fear that, if Barkley somehow drops to #6, the owner may insist on picking him. Which, given the Colts' offensive line and needs, would IMO be sad for both the franchise and for Barkley. |

My view of Ballard is not that he's interested in bringing in tons of bodies to fill spots, as some here have theorized, but rather that he's all about value. Maybe a Moneyball type of approach, where he's always trying to maximize his bang for his buck. He takes a bunch of second rounders from the Jets instead of insisting on their first next year. He doesn't sign top free agents and waits for the initial free agency frenzy to subside before he make any moves. He cuts high-priced players that don't fit his scheme. I think he'll make moves based upon a cold, business-like decision about value and anticipated return. Rookies are cheap with lots of upside if you pick well. Top free agents are usually at their peak, cost exorbitant sums of money, and usually have little additional upside. Fill in any holes with more reasonably priced second or third tier free agents. When a special opportunity presents itself, maybe he'll have the resources to jump at it. |

Mel Kiper isn't the type of person to break news of potential trades.

so what you're saying is, Mel Kiper would be more likely to break his own hair than break any news of potential trades?

If this rumor is real, it’s more likely posturing to get Buffalo to make a higher offer. |
