Drafting a guy, having him fail at safety, and then (possibly) getting one productive year out of him (a slot corner, at that) is not good. That's a bust of a pick. 

Yeah, he had high bust potential from the start. I never liked the pick but hoped for the best. I certainly wouldn’t cut a stud like Hilton to give a bust a guaranteed starting job. Keep him as a backup and try to find a role he can contribute in. Then let him walk when his contract is up.
