Should Chris Ballard Change his Approach to Team Building?

The Colts organization has come under a lot of scrutiny since their Week 18 collapse against the Jaguars. Everyone from top to bottom in the organization have been questioned. Should Chris Ballard be changing his approach or do anything differently?

If we take a look at how this year’s Super Bowl finalists and the last two winners have fared, they have succeeded by making a few key acquisitions through trade or free agency.

Rams 2021 - Matthew Stafford acquisition, Von Miller acquisition plus 3.71M in new FA acquisitions. Stafford deal cost them 7.75M extra in cap space and Miller an extra $722,000 so they essentially spent $12,182,000 and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick in 2022 (as well as a 1st in 2023) on acquisitions.
