What else did anyone expect...Seriously this should not be a surprise to anyone. This is is strategy.

 

He has all but pretty much said in every interview that he has done since the season that he is not going to over spend for guys and he will save the money to pay their own players that they draft into the building.

How do you know we weren't in the bidding for any or all of these other guys?  We weren't in the front office with Ballard yesterday.

 

Teams have historically overpaid for free agents and underachieved...then, they're locked into impossibly bad contracts or shelled out tons of bonuses they can never recover.

 

It's a process and Ballard wants the right players for this team and to be able to have the $$ to keep them, if he wants.

I know right? How much more blunt and obvious does Ballard need to be?

 

He is not going to overspend and dilute the locker room with overpaid divas.

I am more concerned about our own players, Desir, Inman, and all the others that may well walk away.  Funchess doesn't offset  Inman....  and Inman has far better hands.  Inman is much cheaper too....  Funchess at 13mm is same as T Y?

There he is!! we’ve all missed your beam of positivity and the fact that you know more than Ballard! On serious note please go away...

Free agency is a scam anyway, I for one love Ballards approach, keep players who want to win, sign other players to prove it deals and who also want to win, look at the patriots, do they utilize overpriced free agents? Build through the draft with players that are hungry for success and fit in your system, Ballard is a genious and I for one, love what is taking place in the colts franchise.

Yeah, our FAs have worked out well during the Ballard years - Sheard, Hunt, Autry, Ebron  - so, I’m not going to worry about his approach.  OL FAs didn’t pan out last year, but they were low risk, and the position eventually worked itself out really well...

    • Alot of people  sleeping  of troy franklin.  He is expected  to go in the second
    • I know a lot was said, but I really don’t like when people bring up JJ because he was such a unique case.  He fell for multiple reasons.  Analysts thought he was a product of the system, he shined because of chase, they thought he was just a slot guy.  JJ was such a curious case because he had the production to prove it but I think teams who picked other WRs ahead of him got wrapped up in the detractors.     TBH, the only player I can see in a similar predicament at WR is Adonai Mitchell, other than that, I think what you see is what you get.  Of course, there will be sleepers In every draft, but outside of Adonai, I don’t think there’s a “JJ” at WR In this draft.  Maybe Troy Franklin too. 
    • This presser has reinforced how I feel about this draft and what we might do.  This is one of the most “it can go any way” drafts I’ve been apart of as a colts fan.  Based on our needs, the strengths of this draft, and where we pick, there are numerous ways this thing can go.  Some takeaways I got from this presser:   - Getting AR a weapon:  I think after this presser, we are definitely getting an AR another weapon.  I’m not sure if it’s going to be with the first or second pick.  Bowers to the colts doesn’t seem likely to me now.  Ballard really likes our tight end group and I can’t see him investing a high pick into the tight end room given what we have.  But either way, either the first or second pick will be a weapon.   - Anything is possible:  we may trade up, stay put, or even trade back.  It all depends on how this draft goes, who they have on their board, and where they have them rated.  I can see us trading up if one or two of the top 3 WRs get to pick 9.  I can see staying put if our trade up options are gone but someone looks to be falling to us.  I can also see us trading back if we have first round grades on certain players who are left and can be chosen later in the first round.  I can see all of these things happening and it really all depends on how things play out.  Personally, I’d hope we trade up if one of the top 3 WRs get close enough and doesn’t cost us too much.  But either way, we’re in a unique position and this can go a lot of ways.  
    • Noway  Ballard  does that trade  but if he did he trade next years first for more seconds
    • I doubt  he moves up for any of those guys unless they fall to around 9-12. Only way I see us getting  Harrison  is through  free agency  in a few years if he chooses  to leave the team that drafts him.
