re: Could Jeremy Hill be first or 2nd RB off the draft board?

If I was an owner I would prefer he prove over the period of another year that he has got his mind right...and sometimes he doesn't run as tough as he could have. Yes, the money is very attractive to Hill, and I would take it if I were he and he is taken the first round. But to pay a guy a lot of money he'd have to show me more over another year...jmho

At the same time, other owners might be thinking that he is a much better bet over the long run since he hasn't had a long college career with a lot of carries. Since he has always shared carries with a couple of other backs each game at LSU for only one year, he should be a great long term prospect.

My only knock would be that he would have to come across well in his interview in terms of running harder and hitting the holes with more "Chest" and speed. Waiting for the hole to develop has it;s moments but there were times when Hill should have just used his ability to blow thru and get those important yards.
