I didn't say that.

Also, you seem to be forgetting that Ballard priorities physical traits over everything else w/ his draft picks. So it's pretty likely that he had AR rated higher than Stroud on his draft board to begin with.

Agree to disagree I guess, he did still have 3 All-Pro seasons leading up to the injured year, including back to back selections prior to 2022. Say Fred Warner was coming off a similar situation to Leonard at the end of this season. You'd be upset at the Colts giving up a 3 to get the chance that he returns to prime form?
