A project player that actually exceeded expectations very quickly. Feels good not having to worry about the most important position on the line for the foreseeable future
A huge deal to find a guy like this in round 3. A very good left tackle.
Do we want to rethink Ballard?
Agreed – no matter the path forward, we have our LT for the next 5-7 years
Is that an NFL player or a Marleyan warrior?
I’m so happy he’s been such a stud
Ballard has struck out consistently at QB. But the man has drafted amazingly at the OL and LB positions. Raimann, Smith, Speed, Leonard.
I’d put him in the cornerstone player bucket
Extension this offseason. New deals for him and Fries plz.
Our O-line looks to be in great shape for the next 5-7 years. Bortolini looks like the heir apparent at Center. Goncalves has been very good most of the time when pressed into action. He’ll get better, and will be good wherever he lands as a starter in the next 1-2 years.
Say what you want about Ballard – we’re not winning the division, so it may be time to move on from him…but we may look back when a new guy is making draft decisions and really miss a GM who could judge line talent this well.
I’m not on any side of the Ballard fence. I see what he’s good at, but I want to win.
I root for the players wearing the horseshoe on Sundays, and I support the staff that’s there making the decisions. When those people change, I root for the new guys and support the new guys.
G’day mate! Let’s put anotha shrimp on that barbee!
Wtf I love Austria now 🇦🇹
Ballard may suck at everything else but he is so god damn good at drafting lineman
Our Austrian edelweiss , symbol of love and courage, lol
