As for Trey Hill don't sleep on him. In 2019 he looked like he was going to be the best Center in the 2021 draft but didnt look the same in 2020 which turned out could have been caused by a meniscus tear in both knees. Hill played well in the Pre-Season.

The answer was obviously yes, which is understandable as Hill is superb at anchoring, which is a huge component in player Center well.

That makes me feel better. Hill seemed like a solid pick in the draft. He may not be quite ready yet, but it does make sense if you can get good value for him. We definitely need to go all out to improve our run defense this year. The Ravens and Browns just eat us up. Will be a big test week 1 if we can slow Cook down or not.
