I would take all those guys you listed before Allen. Ferrel is my favorite of that group. If any of those three make it to 26 I would definetly take them. I would only pause for one of the three techs at that spot.
I personally wouldn't invest a 3 in Zach Allen, but it seems like we have similar grades on him. Most draft rankings I've seen have Allen in that Round 1 tier, and he's absolutely not that to me.

I know we’d probably get a Suh that wouldn’t turn it on for regular season games @Tennesse but if we can get an Uber motivated, Uber talented DT that’ll come alive during prime time and postseason, I say do it.
1) Two of DeMarcus Lawrence, Frank Clark, and Dee Ford, and 2) Grady Jarrett would be my ideal free agency signings for the Colts. Picking up those three players would allow Ballard to draft exclusively BPA in the draft, even if it meant a WR at 26.

I’d also like to sign Landon Collins in my dream offseason and then yes, I’d honestly go WR in the 1st round. Particularly if we could get DK Metcalf (less likely) or AJ Brown (more likely) out of Ole Miss.

It is conceivable all 4 (Lawrence, Clark, Ford, Jarrett, and I'll add L. Collins)could all be hit with the franchise tag.

It's a great idea, but I doubt Ballard shells out that much in free agency, and he already seems to be prepping the fanbase to not expect a WR early in this draft. I think Ballard is looking at DL early and often.

Unfortunately that's true, and we'll know whether or not they are in 11 days. There's already been reports that the Chiefs won't franchise Dee Ford. If any of them aren't, they'd likely be Ballard's top free agent target(s).

Yeah, I don’t expect any of them to hit the market.

More recent reports out of KC suggest that they will franchise Dee Ford. Here is an article from 3 days ago:

Where did you get where Ballard is prepping the fan base for no WR in the 1st round? I saw Kiper and MMQB give us AJ Brown just this week. Kiper for sure is quite connected around the league and MMQB definitely does a lot of educated guesses in their Mocks.

You only hope he doesn’t sign a WR early in the draft or a big time WR. Be prepared to be disappointed it’s gonna happen.

He’s not picking D with every pick like you want. He will pick WR OL And I believe a real RB earlier than later when the BPA is in that position

1) Holder had an interview last week where he said the Colts weren’t as down on their WRs as the fans.

2) Ballard gave an interview a couple weeks ago. When asked what he saw as biggest area of weakness, he said fans would answer WR, but he saw it as pass rush.

3) Ballard has been very clear that he wants to build the trenches. I would be shocked if 26 and 34 aren’t defensive linemen.
