Who do want Ballard to go after in a trade, FA or draft? QB ONLY thread

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports the Panthers offered the Lions the No. 8 overall pick plus a "later" selection for Matthew Stafford.
Per Breer, the Washington Football Team also offered the No. 19 pick plus a third-rounder. NBC's Peter King reports at least one other team offered a first-rounder.

McVay is super popular around the league also. They were a few plays away from beating the pats with Goff. Stafford seemed to want to go their first also. You just have more marketing opportunities in LA. Plus, the Rams offer was just flat out better than everyone else’s.

Breer also said that the Colts never offered their #1 for Stafford. Ballard must not have thought he was the answer long term. He won't overpay. He has made it clear what a mistake that is. I don't think he would be afraid to continue to build this team as a team and have different quarterbacks every few years until he finds one he really likes and can get. You don't need a great quarterback to win the Super Bowl and having one doesn't guarantee shit (as a Colt fan I felt we had a better, in most instances much better, quarterback than the teams that beat us in the playoffs for the past couple of decades). It is an interesting time to be a Colt fan.

Breer says one thing, King says another. I question whether either of these guys (or the various other media members who have commented) knows what really went down, at least with respect to the Colts.
