I still have total confidence that he knows what he's doing. That's why I don't expect a skill position O player at all in the first 4-5 rounds. He needs defense, defense, defense, and more defense.

Cutting the rotting carcass of DQ was a good start.
I believe Irsay made the decision to keep Pags, at least for one more year. I don't think Ballard had a choice, at least not this year. In Irsay's press conference when he announced the firing of Griggs, he stated that Pags would be the coach for 2017.
