He wins the comparison vs Bates in arm length, 40, 10 yard, 20 yard, 20 yard shuttle, 3 cone, vert, and broad. Bates win in height..by less than an inch...weight...by 9 lbs, and hand size...a quarter of an inch. And of course, Dax was drafted numerically ahead of where Bates was drafted...not by much...but he was.
No question that, on paper, Dax Hill is a better prospect than Jessie Bates was coming out of school. Bates is an avg S at his worst and a top 3 S at his best. I don't see how the Bengals top 5 $ that kind of inconsistency.
