Summary
First, (3:00) Colin tries to figure out why Dallas isn’t at the top of NBA free agent lists, why college football desperately needs the glamor of The U for the good of the sport, and if it's Ryan Tannehill’s job to mentor Malik Willis.
Then, Colts GM Chris Ballard joins Colin to discuss if he likes working for outspoken owner Jim Irsay (11:00), if this draft was as bad as advertised (15:00), if he’s changed his draft philosophy due to the NFL’s offensive explosion (21:00), and how the Matt Ryan trade materialized (25:00). He also explains the importance of sticking to his draft board (28:00), what it’s like to not have a first round pick (39:00), why the current transfer happy college environment is bad for the NFL game (41:00).
