When would you consider you taking him?

The guy's talent is incredible but obviously coming off of a disappointing year.

Does he bounce back and the team leans more on the running game considering the receiver losses and new OC Zampese?

I think he has a pretty good season and will be a good value in most drafts with an ADP hovering around 74.

I'll put him at 1095 yards, 11 TD's with 27 catches for 190 and a TD receiving. He finishes top 15 and bounces back.

What are your overall thoughts on Hill for 2016?

ADP is too high for me. I can see a bounce back, but not top 15.

Not sure what happened last year, TBH. That wasn't the same Jeremy Hill I watched at LSU and during his rookie year.

I think I'm buying this year in standard. Maybe top 20 overall last year was too high considering Gio's presence, but he will score TDs and get solid volume in an offense with a great offensive line and a QB that's good enough to keep defenses honest but not good enough to abandon the run game.

Plenty of question marks in the RB class once you get past the first round or so. I'll take my chances on a guy who has both a decent floor and a very high ceiling.

I like him a lot and I keep landing him in the 4th-5th rounds of my mocks. If he falls to me there, I'll waste no time picking him in my live drafts. He's the #1 back in Cincinnati and anyone who thinks otherwise is mistaken. I keep seeing people take Frank Gore, Jonathan Stewart, Derrick Henry and what not over him, makes me scratch my head.

I would buy him around the 6-7th but Forsett is usually available then too. I like Forsett to bounce back a bit with our new RT and Yanda opening up holes. I'd say push between both of them. Hill recovers value but Gio will temper it from being awesome. Forsett has a good run line, but will probably cede some passing work to Buck and Dixon.
