Ballard's post draft presser

[ColtStrong2013]

Just watched the post draft presser. The biggest thing that struck me was the players they were looking for. They placed a high importance on exceptional athletes which showed in the guys that are now Colts. All of them have great measurables. Some even off the charts. He wanted great athletes that have skills but most importantly have good character. Guys that want to put the work in to be the best and are going to push the rest of the team with competitiveness. That is all they want. The football part they can develop. Everyone drafted has to be developed. These guys are easy to... and can build a consensus winning program. 

 

That's not reaching for guys, as most of those fella's in front of them in the eyes of ESPN and the media that feed our knowledge, weren't even considered by Ballard. There are a lot of character issues every year in the draft. Some teams have no problem drafting them if they are talented. Obviously Ballard isn't interested. Most of these draft picks were multi-year captains of their collegiate teams. Ballard wants leaders and professionals. I think he found the guys that fit the mold and the athletic measurables.  Get these guys on the field and start grinding.
