Then we keep our 1st round pick next year, start Eason, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Hopefully it doesn't happen though (it'll usually happen to 1 or 2 teams a year, just have to avoid random, bad luck). -

The question did say (if no trade) by it on who we would pick at 21. By that standard, I'd go OT. There's just no guarantee on who Ballard would like would be there at 54. We can 6-8 options at OT around that point as fans, but Ballard realistically probably likes 3-4. He then has to hope they make it to 54 and we can grab one. EDGE is mostly the same all throughout day 2 of the draft, and if we miss out on Paye, there's not a huge fall until probably late round 3. We can also re-sign Houston still. Kerrigan and Ingram are available after the draft without losing a pick, while the options at LT are guys like Villineuva, Schwartz, and Fisher. I heard Schwartz and Fisher may both go back to the Chiefs, and Villineuva will be a 1 year guy that's expensive. All this makes me lean towards OT with 21 with no trade. You got the guy you wanted at 22 in Cosmi with the Chiefs. We could get him at 21 with the Colts, or maybe Teven Jenkins, and that would be a win over any EDGE besides Paye IMO. Now if Paye is there at 21, and I like a bunch of OTs in the 2nd, maybe go for it. That's the only exception to the rule though. -

Yup. I'd have zero problem with it. If you have zero chance of a SB with another FA QB, which we wouldn't, might as well sink or swim with Eason. At worst, we'd have a good draft pick, and know Eason isn't the answer. -

Well... got a guy who didn’t know how to rush the QB, he recorded 17 sacks in two seasons at TCU. 8.5 in back to back seasons. TCU plays a very unconventional defense, so BB’s skill set was very raw. But he was not without real talent. Do I wish we’d have drafted AJ Brown instead and taken BB at pick 59 instead of Campbell — sure. But hopefully next off-season we will all feel better about our Day 2 picks from 2019. -

If you look at my post, I literally wrote the sentence “unless someone asks for WAY too much”... So, if we were at an impasse, THEN Ballard would have the political cover to make a deal. But, that would have to be the circumstance. That the player is holding out and asking for way too much for something like this to happen. But, you’ve moved the goal line. Your previous arguments were to trade Q and Darius because they played the wrong positions to financially build around. Your other argument was to trade them because they wanted market value and it was your view that top market value was too much. NOW, your view is if they ask for an unreasonable over-the-market number. Ok, if that scenario were to happen, I think Ballard would be willing to make a deal. That said, the Colts have one of the top financial teams in the NFL. We make very good, very competitive offers. We convince players to take either no signing bonus, or a small signing bonus. This past season Ballard was named by agents as the best and most fair GM to deal with. He is admired and respected. I do not see the scenario you’ve created happening. Could it? Sure, but highly, highly unlikely. A long shot at best.
