I'm not sure what Ballard plan is, but so far I trust his judgement and it seems like he has a plan. So I will sit back and watch and be supportive.
Players I would like to see in a Colts uniform,
1st rd Chubb... Nelson... Ward... Edmunds... James...
2nd rd Michel...LVE... Hurst...Hernandez...Price...BJ Hill... McGlinchey... Ridley....Kirk
My Guess the 1st will be Chubb or Edmunds but would be happy with any of the listed.
Getting 3 of the players listed above in the 1st two rounds would be amazing. And very possible
As far as Oline goes... I think just getting rid of Chud and his horrible offense will do wonders for Luck's health. Doubt Luck goes for 4000 and 40 anytime soon so we HAVE to have a running game but as much fun as it would be to have Barkley I think that would be a horrible pick in the 1st.
I will add that if by chance we end up with Barkley.... that will be an Irsay pick not a Ballard pick IMO

I'm convinced that if Barkley is picked, it will be Ballard's selection. I don't think Irsay's a meddler, and Ballard doesn't seem like the type who would stand for it (yes, I know its fairly obvious that Irsay saddled Ballard with some sort of requirement that Pagano get to stay for 2017, but presumably that was part of the negotiations when they hired Ballard. Its a different thing entirely for an owner to impose his draft will on a sitting GM two years into his tenure, and I'm not aware of any evidence that Irsay has ever done this type of thing)
