Colts general manager Chris Ballard lectured to reporters on Friday, explaining how NFL teams cannot build a roster through free agency because “it is too expensive and does not last over time.”
Ballard stays true to his philosophy to build and develop a contender through the NFL draft. He mentioned the war room currently has between 19-21 prospects with first round grades. It will be his eighth draft class aiming to field the best team possible before laying all his chips into second-year head coach Shane Steichen. Ballard complimented Steichen’s vision to design an offense to compliment the skill set of a college prospect.
