The other thing I read into his comments is that he'd like to trade down with Buffalo. Isn't it curious that they recently bumped up the number of the non-QB "premium" players to 8? When you add that to the 4 QBs widely thought to be picked in the first 10 picks, that means that the Colts could safely trade down as low as pick 12, which, conveniently enough, is Buffalo's first pick.

Miami also falls in that range.
Ballard --> MIA: "I'm going to need 1.11, 2.11, and next year's 2nd to top Buffalo's offer."
Ballard --> BUF: "I'm going to need 1.12, 1.22, and #53 to top Miami's offer."
