That said, I highly doubt any team is working on a trade deal for a RB who has averaged 3.6 and 3.8 yards per carry the last two years. It's too easy to find decent/good/great RBs in the later rounds to be wasting the picks on trading for unproductive RBs.
2016 RB, 5th round or later, 50+ carries, 4.0 YPC or higher:
DeAndre Washington- 87 carries, 467 yards (5.4 YPC)
Paul Perkins- 112 carries, 456 yards (4.1 YPC)
Jordan Howard- 252 carries, 1,313 yards (5.2 YPC)
Wendell Smallwood- 77 carries, 414 yards (4.1 YPC)
Rob Kelley- 168 carries, 704 yards (4.2 YPC)
That's just one year of rookies from the 5th round or later who were productive. Nobody is dedicating pre-draft time to work on a deal for Hill. Even less trading for him so they can have him for one year. He's not anyone's missing piece.
Too bad there were 16 RBs taken in the 5th round or later in '16.
Less than a one-in-three chance of finding a guy like that in the 5th round or later. Not really that easy at all.
