Re-Grading Chris Ballard’s 2017 Draft Class

It wasn’t pretty, but if nothing else, the 2017 season got us on the road to what we hope is a better future. With a high draft pick and a new coaching staff to guide and direct this team, hopes are high that the Colts can have a big turnaround season in 2018.

What I wanted to do while the season is still fresh in my mind, is to take another look at Chris Ballard’s first draft class and re-grade the players after having seen them for a season. Keep in mind that one season simply is not enough to determine how good a player can be, but we now have actual football in the books to help us identify areas where Ballard did well or failed.
