Congratulation to Chris Ballard. Very well deserved.

Then Telesco left for SD and everything went downhill. I don't see that happening this time.

I know. just being snarky.

Give Jim Irsay credit. He made a mistake and then he fixed it. Out of the park.

Well done. Now do it again.

Two out of 3 top 36 picks go all-pro from 2018 draft and he has 2 top 36 picks this year. Go get another one.

Ballard was significantly better in Year 2 once he had his whole scouting department in place. If we stay good then you can expect other teams to raid Ballard’s underlings as well.

That said, I share the sentiment.

His scouting dept got even better for this yr. I cant find all the names he added but there is some real talent coming in that dept

I've been skeptical at times of Ballard but I don't see how anyone else deserved it more this year.

I'll be interested to see what he does with the war chest he's built.
