Probably holding out for a FA RT and an edge rusher!

In the mod forum planning your ban
That’s fine, other teams will. Colts have destroyed that roster constantly using has been QBs and if they pray their guy falls to them and he doesn’t, heads will eventually roll

Ballard is useless. Its what Irsay says that matters, and he wants a young QB.

Clearly lies per what all other reports are saying. If the colts plan to draft the 4th QB then sure, staying at 4 will be just fine

When he’s sober? I don’t know when the draft is but it is usually past booze o clock

This is GM bullshit in my eyes. Everyone knows the Bears are trading out of #1 and the team they trade with is drafting a quarterback. Houston is taking a quarterback at 2 or 1 if they trade with the Bears. If there is a Bears/Houston trade, the Bears are trading #2 to another team coming up to take a quarterback. This puts Atlanta in the driver's seat. Any team that needs a quarterback knows they have to get ahead of Indianapolis at 4. So this isn't a scenario where I like two guys equally; it's I either get my guy or I get the 4th choice of quarterback.

would love to watch the flop sweat form on him if he doesn't trade up, the Bears and Cards trade out and QB goes 1-3, all of which is a very real possibility

The Colts will need to trade up for Stroud or Young. If they're comfortable with the uncertainty with Levis and Richardson, go right ahead

Ballard stating that they don’t need to trade up to get the guy they want is basically saying that they need to trade up to get the guy they want. But it wouldn’t surprise me given Irsay’s meddling, that he wants his white savior Levis

Agreed. I think since Poles and Ballard are blowing the most smoke that is the most likely deal. It makes the most sense for both teams.

Actually that first part is a really astute observation....
