Dan Graziano, national NFL writer: S Daxton Hill to the Bengals at No. 31. I have to highlight what I thought was a really smart value pick by the defending AFC champs. The Bengals see Hill as a Swiss Army knife-type of defensive back who can play safety, slot corner and basically whatever else they need him to do in their secondary. They hit the offensive line hard in free agency, as they should have, but they had some holes to fill on defense, too. Hill can help them fill whatever those turn out to be. And he's not a bad leverage play for the team in case Jessie Bates III's contract dispute continues to linger.
And it was mentioned by his scout he’s a great fit for Zac’s culture he’s developed. Great practice player and team leader. Molds well with the culture Zac focused on.
