I know there's a lot of love for Ballard on this board, but if I were a fan of the Colts, having the run they did last year, going into the offseason at max optimism with unlimited cap dollars, and then missing out on all premier players (ex-Houston), I think I'd be livid.
I was beside myself at the trade deadline last year because I couldn't believe we didn't do anything to better the team and I knew a porous defense would come back to cost us in the playoffs. I had the same sort of fears until we made this move.
Veach gets it. Reid gets it. Even Clark Hunt gets it (Chiefs don't take on this baggage otherwise). This team is damn close. Now let's plug some holes/fill in some depth in the draft and go win a championship.
