Conspiracy Report: For Third Year in a Row, Chris Ballard Leaks Colts Draft Plan To the reader: First, I’d like to start by saying this article is presented as a “conspiracy theory” because by definition that’s what it is.

Three defensive backs went in the four picks following the Vikings selection of Moss with the 21st pick in the first round.
