No one got screwed. Rookies were getting way too much money(ie Sam Bradford). I think Hill would be 4th round right now due to his problems. If he had an extra year with good behavior he could go 2nd. Even if he makes it to the NFL rb's dont get that much money relatively speaking. The only ones who get big money are every down backs which are a rare breed that Hill is not part of.

Hill is absolutely an every down back. He is head and shoulders the best and most complete back at LSU.

Even if that's true the difference between 2nd and 4th round money is not great enough to make it worth your while to try and move up especially with the risk of injury. An extra year won't make his past issues go away. Some teams will pass on him over that regardless of how much time passes. There are so many varibles it's hard to say, RB is becoming more marginalized in the NFL, may as well go and get to the 2nd contract faster.

Do you really think Hill is one of the 10-15 best backs in the past 6 years?


No. I'm not sure how that is relevant anyway, He wouldn't be that with an extra year anyway. I do think he is better than Ridley who went 3rd round.

Im not hating on Hill but the NFL is now a 2 back league where late round picks often turn out to be decent players


all the more reason to go pro ASAP.
