Your previous comment was that he's shown no positional bias. I think his bias toward the trenches is a practical bias away from the outside positions. And my thinking is based on a considerable amount of evidence that I think paints a discernible picture of Ballard's team building philosophies. I'm not saying I'm absolutely right about this, you might not find that evidence as compelling as I do. But I think Ballard has shown/told us what he values, and in what order.
I think people just want something exciting from the offseason. There's nothing wrong with that. I get being frustrated by Ballard's approach. My big point is that I think people talk themselves into the idea that 'this is finally the year when Ballard will make a big move,' and then when it doesn't happen, they come crashing down to earth and they're even more frustrated and upset. The Sneed thing is a perfect example.
I never say never, because I don't know. But Ballard trading up in the first round probably isn't happening.
Houston has had a good offseason. I'm holding off on putting them in the top tier in the AFC. I want to see it first.

I've been waiting for so long now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall as we felt this magic fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes there's no way we could disguise secretly
So we take each other's hand cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember you're the one thing I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you one thing this could be love because....
