Chris Ballard did an excellent job with last season’s draft. He drafted four starters and several other contributors for the team in 2018. The rest of the league took notice, and they voted the Colts’ draft as the best draft class in 2018 according to NFL scouts and administrators.
The Colts received 80% of the vote and won by an extremely wide margin. The Browns came in second with only 13% of the vote. This award is presented by Inside the League because the members who vote on it are league insiders who scout and evaluate talent.
Drafting two first team All-Pro’s is unheard of, but that’s what Ballard did in drafting Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard.
