The PR guy has no way of knowing who the Colts will pick. You are correct. But everything that gets posted on the front if the website has to be approved at some higher level. It’s not done by just the PR guy. And I think Chloe makes a reasonable argument, that if the franchise is putting these profiles of the top 4 QB candidates on the front of the website it certainly appears as if the team is implying that they plan to take one of them. Now, it’s certainly not a guarantee. Ballard’s hands are not tied in any way. He could take the DE, he could trade down. He’s free to do what he thinks is best. But outwardly, the Colts talking up these 4 QBs certainly generates the perception that the team will take one of them. -

But I don’t want to wait 37 days… -
Loved the post and agreed w a ton of it. I have said in repeated topics that if you put Howie and Ballard together you’d have the perfect GM. imho, Howie is not the best drafter. He has had some misses and some terrible evals in the draft. But he is a wizard in FA and in trading. I think the hard part that our fan base just can’t seem to come to grips with is that our philosophy is not going to be to be big players in free agency w this GM. He has said it over and over and fans that get hopes up are always disappointed. I will add this tidbit that everyone seems to ignore: we truly have no inside insight into how Irsay thinks about this. For all we know, he is all on board w this approach and leading the charge. The colts are his lifeblood. He doesn’t have a major source of income outside of it. We know from very sources that the colts have a budget they set every year that they can’t go above. This might be something restricting our spending snd even Ballard’s willingness to change his stripes. I will also admit that there haven’t been many free agents under Ballard that we have added where I later regretted the addition nor the contract. whereas when we last spent freely under Grigson, a lot didn’t work out. I remember how excited I was the Andre Johnson and Frank Gore year and how terrible it went lol. I often stick up for Ballard only because I genuinely couldn’t name 10 GMs I’d rather have right now. And definitely can’t think of a specific candidate I’d take over him if he walked. like other, I’d like to see what Dodds or Morocco would do in the same position. But they at least have to have some alignment philosophically w Ballard or they wouldn’t still be here and be his top lieutenants. here’s hoping the turn around starts w this rookie QB and that that turn around includes opening the check book while the rookie is on that rookie qb contract in years 2-4.
