I think you move on from Hill after next year when his deal is up but you can't this offseason. He has a $10.8m cap hit but you only save $7.5m in cap space by cutting Hill. Draft picks DTs generally need a year and we already need a NT so hopefully not two rookie starting DTs at once so you'd need to go through FA. You'd then need to spend money to replace his production. Even 34-year-old Fletcher Cox is projected to get 1yr/$9m and I am not sure you're really upgrading there but still spending $1.5m more than you would if you just kept Hill.  I just am not sure there's a ton of savings to be had without a loss in production. 

Sam Hubbard probably falls in the same category this offseason with only a $6m savings unless you're looking at spending a lot of money on a new DE anyway, which I feel like would be hard to do when you just spent a 1st round pick on a DE.
