INDIANAPOLIS — Finding pass rushers beyond the first 16 picks in the NFL draft is one of the toughest things a general manager has to be able to do.
Chris Ballard knows it better than anybody.
The blue-chip guys, the Von Millers and Khalil Macks and anybody named Bosa, they don’t get out of the top 10. Even the freakishly gifted players who carry a little reason for doubt, the Aaron Donalds and J.J. Watts, don’t make it far into the double digits.
But Ballard is going to have to find pass rushers beyond that range in his tenure in Indianapolis.
