Ballard is laying a foundation, but it too will fail if he sucks at drafting. I don't think he will based on his track record, but we'll see.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

I agree 100% with this post and it was worded much better than I would have.

Free agency brings short term stability. Long term success is through the draft.

I think Ballard has brought short term stability and if he can sign one of the ILBs, his work will be done prior to the draft, I think.

It is him finding studs in the draft that will lead to long term success; not signing veteran free agents.
