Are you running 6 DBs a majority of the time?
Or are you just using Hill in certain packages?
Or are you benching one of the safeties or Hilton so Hill gets more snaps?

I ask because it seems incredibly irresponsible to spend a 1st round pick on a player who is going to play limited snaps in their 2nd year.
The less snaps they contribute on their rookie contract, the less valuable that rookie contract is.
