Taking either stud talent early, or hoping Hill will improve his game is short sighted if the line doesn't improve.
I was on this line of thinking too until late last year. Gio and Rex ran behind the same line and they were better and it was quite noticeable. Not saying any of them are in a great situation but when 2 out of 3 can do something behind the line it kind of shows one of the 3 is doing something wrong.
As to the question, I think we draft a HB this year in the first 4 rounds and it spells the end of Hill. I think even if Hill wasn't having the issues he does it would be hard to sign him. We already paid Gio a decent contract extension, the only other team in the last decade I can think of that gave two backs extensions at the same time was Carolina and that ended up hurting them cap wise a year or two after they did it.
