I come to praise Chris Ballard, not to bury him.

Sadly, those two positions are the most important on an NFL team and greatly dictate the success or failure of the team.

After years of trying and striking out, Ballard found a Quarterback in Daniel Jones. He might not be the next Patrick Mahomes or Josh Taylor, but if that’s your metric for judging talent, most NFL GM’s come up short.

At DE, Latu seems to be developing into a solid pass rusher, a 10-12 sack a season guy. We could use another presence on the other side, someone who offers more sudden impact. Those guys are hard to find; I suspect that the answer is going to be Trey Hendrickson.
