Ballard definitely dropped the ball at LT
All GMs drop the ball some times. The almighty Polian that some folks here have knighted, dropped the ball when he traded Faulk for a song and then had to draft his equal in Edge. He could have kept Faulk a HOFer and traded the Edge pick to the Saints for every fucking draft pick they had that year. Adding that to their own, they would have been stacked for years.

Yes, and the Colts could've traded away the Luck pick for 5 1s, kept Peyton, and drafted Russell Wilson, but nobody but me saw that possibility.

Faulk was unhappy, and Edgerrin was just as good if not better at the time. Faulk would've walked in free agency, instead we got 7 years of James.

Peyton was due 18 million dollar roster bonus before it was certain his neck would ever allow him to be Peyton again. So, it was risky.

Faulk wasn't unhappy, he just wanted his contract renegotiated. Polian said nobody renegotiates on my watch.

Yes, the risk was Peyton falters and you have a rookie superstar on a rookie deal with 5 more first round picks.
