Sure, the Eagles fleeced us, but we did well to get what we got for him.

Agreed. Assuming Wentz plays 70% of the Wash snaps, the Colts' net loss from a draft capital standpoint is the difference between a first and second round pick, minus the slightly better draft positioning that Wash is providing to us in 2nd and 3rd round this year.

Not a bad exit from a gamble that didn't work out the way the Colts wanted. Say what you want about Ballard, but he's a decisive guy and does not linger on his mistakes. I continue to think he's one of the best.

That said, I'm bummed it didn't work out, and I'm curious to see where we go from here.
