one "equal value" trade with the Dolphins could be #6, #67 and #104 for #11, #42 and #73. That would likely leave the Colts still having a shot at one of the 7 best non-QBs in the draft, and moving from #67 and #104 up to #42 and #73.

I’d guess Ballard wants additional picks more than he wants to improve the quality of his existing pics. Moving pics from rounds 5, 6, and 7 up into rounds 2, 3, and maybe 4 might work. But I think his goal is to get as many chances as he can in rounds 1, 2, and 3 where you have a better chance of acquiring starter level talent.
