I had been mocking him to Bengals before the Combine and before Bates got tagged, as I thought he was the best replacement for him.
Then the Combine hit, and I thought there's no way he'll make it.
Then Bates got tagged.
I thought they might take a safety in the middle rounds at the earliest to back up and groom.
I heard more and more people speculate that they might try to get a safety a year early to groom behind Bates and Bell, so I decided to put Hill back on my mock again.
Super stoked to have Hill. I think he'll be a great DB.
3 things make this a fantastic pick. His versatility, his athleticism, and he does fill a huge need. No he’s not a corner but he immediately becomes the backup for Hilton,Bell,and Bates. He will also be used in the 3 safety sub package that will haunt Lamar and possibly others.
