2) Says they identified a few more premium players after the trade. Says there are 8 outside of the QBs.
3) Thinks the EDGE depth is good in this draft in rounds 2-4.
4) Says John Simon will be a DE in this defense (RE).
5) They got some calls about Brissett, but Ballard values the depth he provides.
6) Says Colts are open to trading up into the bottom of Rd 1.

All of this sounds to me like Ballard wants to get front 7 help with his early picks. I think Edmunds is his top choice after Chubb, then Smith. I also think he's interested in Taven Bryan, LVE, Rashaan Evans, and Rasheem Green based on that last comment.

None of his comments indicate a lack of interest in Chubb. You don't not take the best defender in the draft because you like the depth at their position.
