To the surprise of absolutely no one who has followed the Indianapolis Colts throughout Chris Ballard’s tenure, the general manager covets more draft capital.

A week before the start of the 2020 NFL Draft, Ballard made it clear that he won’t be content to sit back with his eight picks, the first coming at No. 34 -- the second pick of the second round.

“To be honest with you, I’d like more picks,” Ballard said Thursday afternoon on a video-conference with local media.
