If somehow Arizona passes on Mahomes, you then call Ballard in Indy. They have 7 picks. I can imagine a new GM would want more picks to put a stamp on his roster in a deep draft. You also say, "Do you want your division rival Houston to get their future guy? We can help prolong their qb problem...."
We will soon find out if Mahomes has drawn the fancy of the brass, or if they play the percentages and let the players fall to them in a deep draft.
I too long for a shiny new qb, but at what price and risk? The franchise could get so much better around the qb position through this draft alone: aging pass rusher, injured ilb, poor run defense, more depth needed at rb, and a Maclin replacement could all be found within our first four picks. Do you throw that away on "potential" at the qb spot?
I can't imagine the stress Dorsey and company are going through leading up to this draft - so hard to read how this qb class is going to shake out.

The Colts trade idea is really solid. If Ballard can stock up on talented players, they are a SB contender with Luck. More picks = more opportunities to hit on game changers.
