but with a lot of money to spend, eventually you have to use it on talent and not backups. or you won't have talent.
building through the draft is a great strategy but at best you are going to hit on 50 to 60 percent of the players. and not all of those will be stars. if you have the cash, you use it to bring in talent. if he is unwilling to do that, then he will have a very hard time being successful.

I agree with all of that, but I just don't think the Colts were in the position to go after the expensive talent. Outside of a handful of players, that defense is/was a shambles. And it wasn't getting any younger either. I think they need to build a foundation first and then add better talent later. It looks like Ballard is trying to do that. I'm expecting it to take at least two years. I agree with your post, but the timing is wrong.
