If Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard could only do what Chris Ballard has already done, how would the 2024 NFL Draft look?
fans are yearning to learn which players will suit up in blue and white this upcoming season. The benefit of this being Chris Ballard ’s eighth draft as general manager of the Colts is that there is a well-documented history of the types of moves he likes to make.
In Ballard’s eighth draft, he finds himself with the same overall selection in the first round he had in his first draft as a general manager. 2017 is an outlier among the rest of Ballard’s drafts. Having just a few months to prepare and drafting players to play under a returning head coach in Chuck Pagano, led to decisions that would be revealed as uncharacteristic of a standard Colts draft under Ballard.
Owning the No.46 overall selection in round two is not unfamiliar for the Colts in recent drafts. As mentioned, the 2017 draft appears to be an outlier when compared to the rest of the Colts’ drafts under Chris Ballard. So with two exact matches to choose from, this selection will model the strategy of the more recent option.Colts send the No.46 and No.151 picks to the Green Bay Packers for the No.41 pick.
With a Utah safety available at this spot, though, the fit is too perfect to resist. Once again reliving day two of the 2020 draft, the Colts selectto compete for a starting role immediately in the back end of a young secondary and provide insurance for the possible departure of Blackmon next offseason, the same way Blackmon did for Hooker in 2021.
