Josh Hill

From what i read online payton states if Josh Hill was in this years draft the Saints would have him the top rated TE in this years draft at6-5/256 with 4.56 speed.Now he did say they plan to draft a TE in the draft but that to me is to take Watson s spot for next year as even at age 34 they think he has enough gas in the tank for one more year,also consider orson charles a former 2012#116th pick also on the roster.Payton stated Hill was not invited to combine a from a small school was under the radar of most teams.

They will probably take a TE in the draft as there are only 3 on the roster and 1 is a practice squad guy.

I think Hill has potential to be really good.
The coaches love this guy.

Yes I know this is BleacherReport but they break it down pretty well.
Just a very small clip:
It's a pretty lengthy article but includes visual aid to help.

The early glimpses of Hill's true potential were seen during the Saints' 37-31 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The tight end's 37-yard reception in the second quarter helped set up the Saints' first touchdown of the contest.

Very good article about Hill.

"We were doing this study last year with the draft class, and they were talking about some of the top picks at tight end," Payton said at the NFC coaches breakfast, via ESPN.com. "So the scouts had the board, and this is human nature, but the scout would see (Hill as a) free-agent tight end, and kinda say, 'Well, he'll come in Year 1 and probably beat out Josh Hill.'
quote:
"And I'm like, 'He will? I said, 'Well, let's throw the numbers up on the board with their measurables.' And all of a sudden, Josh Hill, you look at a 38-inch vertical jump, he's an 11 broad (jump), three-cone, whatever. And the comparables to the top tight ends in the draft a year ago, I said, 'In every category this guy's better.' There's this perception, we're the same way as coaches, if we require someone as a free agent after the draft. But when you really look at the film and watch him, if I told you this guy was our third-round draft pick, you'd be excited now
