Your complaint was picks below 20 and you're bringing up picks that were all above that. Dude...comparing Hill to Ross is just dumb. He's a much higher value pick than Booth or Gordon and has the athleticism to play corner. It's a bad take. Just take the L and move on.

31. Cincinnati Bengals

Daxton Hill, S, Michigan | Highlights
Why they picked him: Secondary depth was a big point of emphasis for the Bengals. While cornerback was the glaring need, Cincinnati also could use a safety given the roster situation. Jessie Bates III is playing on the franchise tag and Vonn Bell is on an expiring deal, leaving both without a contract after 2022. Hill gives the Bengals an option as a long-term starter.
Biggest question: There isn't a lot of downside for Hill with the Bengals. He has been healthy and productive in three seasons at Michigan. Cincinnati could have opted for a cornerback to slot behind Eli Apple and Chidobe Awuzie, but the Bengals instead opted for someone who should give Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo the schematic flexibility the team has enjoyed with Bates the last four seasons. -- Ben Baby
