There's no doubt Ballard still values RAS. I didn't mean to make it read like RAS is not still important for the Colts.
Latu is an example of Ballard passing on more RAS-y guys at the same position and others of need and picking production over RAS while still taking an athletic guy. Latu is no lead-foot, but he's not top of the class - his ability is skill and technique. I think that's a first for Ballard and I hope it continues.
I have no doubt Steichen and Ballard are a good match. Ballard said when Steichen saw the draft board he immediately started talking about how we could use that guy and that guy and so on. He's just 100% dialed in.
