QB: None
RB: None
WR: Golden Tate or Tyrell Williams and Dontrelle Inman
TE: None
OL: None
DE: Anthony Barr
DT: Tim Jernigan and Margus Hunt
OLB: None
ILB: Kwon Alexander or C.J. Mosley
FS: None
SS: Adrian Amos or Landon Collins and Clayton Geathers
CB: Pierre Desir

That's a lot of spending (my estimate is $60-70 million on that group), but it would allow the Colts to focus almost exclusively on BPA in the draft, with DE and DT being the biggest areas of need, followed by CB, S, and WR.

Seems like a good plan of attack. I wouldn't worry about ILB, though. Alexander is hurt and Mosley isn't enough of an upgrade to be worth the money it will take to sign him.
