He’s as fragile as it gets. I’d be so pissed off if we were stupid enough to draft that guy at 29.

I know a cottage industry has sprung up around the 'hey, just because he's white doesn't mean he's just a slot guy!!" narrative, but the white thing isn't the problem.

The 'being 5'9'', 190 lbs' thing is the problem.

And I get that Hill's not that much taller and he may not be heavier, but the dude is built like a tank and that's how he can take some of the really solid shot's he taken while trying to extend himself to catch balls. Isabella isn't that sturdy; he'll get broken in half.

And you just cannot overstate how dynamic Hill's speed is. Isabella is fast, no doubt, but he's not Hill. And he's not quite as quick. You can't just take someone that's a little smaller, a little slower and a little less sudden than Hill and say "eh, he's close, he'll do..."

The combination of all those things may just make him a complementary player at best. Maybe he overcomes all that but there are a lot of WRs in this draft I'd take over him.

Hill is just a damn unicorn. I mean, the dude is what, 5'10 and can run that fast and dunk a basketball. He's the prototype WR in Andy's offense especially with the dude they have under center.

This sucks.

Exactly.

People are looking for some kind of Hill clone and those damn guys just don't exist. Someone being 90% of all the things Hill is doesn't mean that guy's gonna be 90% the WR Hill is. That's probably 50% the WR Hill is. He's just such a unique guy that looking at his skill sets and seeing some guys that get pretty close doesn't do much.

I was pondering Isabella with one of my 2nds and just didn't see it.

I'm not at all looking for a Hill clone. Andy Isabella just screams "Patriots". Imagine what Mahomes could do with a shifty, speedy possession receiver?

Go find a Watkins clone for this offense.

I don't think i'd look for a guy if I'm out to find a "Hill skillset". I'd just chalk that up to being a one time kinda thing, similar to Mahomes, and just look for a wr I liked.

You just aren't gonna find that and it's gonna be a pretty big blow to the offense if he's gone. As much as myself and others think "well Mahomes" that ain't the case with Hill.

They definitely need a chain mover, slot type guy.

I'm just not keen on spending a 2nd rounder on that.

Absolutely.



Maybe. It will be a loss. I'm not sure it's a crusher though. QBs like Mahomes can make chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what. Just get him some talent and they'll be fine, even without Hill.
