Yeah, quite the opposite. In this case, Ballard went out of his way to defend AD publicly. I have little doubt that the off field concerns played a part in AD being the 10th WR to be drafted, when he's probably the 4th or 5th most talented prospect in the class (IMO). But it does the Colts no good for Ballard to acknowledge that in the presser. Instead, you call out everyone who wondered about AD's character, and you talk about how lucky you are that he was still available when you were on the clock (even though you traded back instead of drafting him yourself). To me, it's clearly coachspeak.

I meant indirectly. Ballard would be happy for his own personal reasons fixing it with the guy he deems fit in that scenario, and the fans would be happy because someone would be signed. Their interests would align indirectly. -

I know it’s expensive to maintain but I just wish that they went with real all natural grass. -

I think that’s because he fell so far. He went from being a 1st rounder to being selected in the 2nd round. Many rankings had him as either the 4th or 5th best WR behind the big 3. And big part of it is what was being said about him. Who knows if what was said is true or not. i think since we chose him we’re ok lol. It’s him vs the league, and I honestly love it. Means he’s motivated. That hunger should translate well into hustle and grind. And if he doesn’t start right away, I hope he takes it as a sign to get better, not a sign of slight. -

In reality all GMs do this. It's just how it is when working with the press. The last thing they want to do is paint their shiny new prospect in the negative. So it's easy to sit there on the mic and say "we really like this guy, we're really lucky he fell to us". And psychologically? It usually works.
