Reich and Sirriani both have ties to Rivers. I hope he (Rivers) isn't their choice.

Right now I hope Kinlaw is at 13.

That said the talent at 13 should be such that I don't want to see the Colts trade up to get a guy (baring a trade for Tua, and at that point I think it'll be too expensive) unless the capital used is a 4th round pick at best.

Brissett didn't look as good filling in as Bridgewater did, plus Bridgewater has a much better history and track record behind him than Brissett.

I don't think that anyone can dispute that Bridgewater is an upgrade over Brissett.

The question is, is he a significant enough upgrade to offer him $25 million a year or more...which is probably his market value?

Bridgewater had some receivers, as in one of the best in the league right now. The Colts best threat last year was Jack Doyle.

I'm not making excuses for Brisset, but I don't know if any back up QB could have done as well with the mess the Colts had at WR

FWIW - Bridgewater received two offers last year as a free agent.

the Saints offered a 1 year, $7.25MM + bonus incentives contract
the Dolphins offered a 2 year, $10MM + bonus incentives contract

When he was negotiating with the Dolphins, he reportedly asked for $16MM / year to be their starting QB.

I saw a couple of mocks with us getting Love at 34. Do you all think he slips into the second round? I don't.

If you think Bridgewater can be the starter, you can spend the 13th pick on Jerry Jeudy if you're really worried about T.Y. Hilton's health (which is a valid concern at this point), then invest in the defense.
