Why this is the perfect year to trade back in the Draft

As we all very well know by now, Colts’ general manager Chris Ballard loves trading back in the Draft, doing so with 2 of his 4 first round picks, while getting significantly more draft capital in the process. After the Carson Wentz’ trade, the Colts are now without their 3rd round pick this year, and a conditional 2nd that could easily turn into a 1st round pick if everything goes according to plan next year. A common theme during the Ballard regime, is that he loves his draft picks more than anything, so a trade back is the most realistic scenario for the Colts, now more than ever.
