[Whatever]

The single high shell that Bates plays well is a tough ask for a rookie.  I guess time will tell.

The big question is who's better, a rookie Dax Hill with full OTA's and TC or Bates with no OTA's or TC trying to hypothetically play his way into shape and lacking the mental fortitude to be able to handle playing in a contract year?  Keep in mind that a lot of S's drafted early can immediately come in and play at a high level.
