You're right, the QB is the ultimate trump card. If Ballard and co. truly believe in a QB, even a player like Leonard isn't untradeable. But if they only slightly prefer a guy over another guy, then "do whatever it takes" goes out the window and we consider price. We know Ballard won't overpay under normal circumstances.

I think I've said before here, best case would be that you're right about Stroud, but the consensus remains with Young and the Colts only have to pay to move up one spot potentially to get him.
