What’s good for the Chiefs about all of this is that Ballard largely left his former employer alone, taking only Kyle Childress with him, the Colts new College Scouting Coordinator. Losing Ballard was a significant loss in itself for the Chiefs, and Brett Veach, one of the team’s co-Directors of Player Personnel, was rumored to be connected to the Buffalo Bills GM opening. It’s unclear whether Dorsey and Ballard had any standing agreement to not raid the cabinets, so to speak, but Ballard has put together a celebrated front office without hurting his K.C. roots.
