Ballard said nothing in that clip about loving his tape. He may have said it elsewhere, but not there.

Also, you misunderstood me. I never said anything about who was better between Oweh and Paye. What I said was Oweh has better traits if they were going to draft a guy just for his traits.

Ballard says he has really good tape in answer to first question (see whole interview on colts.com). Later says tape is super important to him and is a requirement to be considered in first round.
