Stripes Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Kinda lukewarm on it now, but I’ll see how they use him. Emphasize three safety sets and make it count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Dane Brugler: Quote 20. Daxton Hill, CB/S, Michigan (6-0, 191) Hill plays with the athletic twitch and transitional quickness to interchangeably play slot-man, deep safety or in the box and can just as easily lay licks in the run game as he can cover the slot fade. He displays the competitive temperament and awareness to smother in zone or man, although he can do a better job exploding through his target as a tackler or blitzer. Overall, Hill might not have elite size or length, but his versatile package of skills (athletic range, toughness, football IQ) make him the ideal nickel defender in today’s NFL. He should be a rookie starter as either a split safety or slot defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Not bad. Should be able to contribute some this year. The whole secondary aside from 2 CBs will be Free Agents after the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Holy shit, I didn’t think there was really a chance of him being there.

ArmyBengal Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Alright Hoosier, get your soul ready for the 2nd round. Marcus Jones will be there and the current bid for your soul on eBay has now surpassed 250k. We will split 80/20. Since I did all the work and advertisement, unfortunately you get the 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re happier taking Hill, then getting two players who were both the #1 players at their positions and widely considered top 15 players.

Daxton Hill was the better player over Hamilton out of high school and it probably plays out that way in the pros. Linderbaum wasn’t top 15 either. Wildly overrated in Bengal nation. Still good prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Not sure the Ravens run enough zone run schemes to maximize Linderbaum. Guess we will find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 A solid B pick for me, I still would have liked them to get aggressive when some of the top guys started to slide. Hill will be a very good player for us but for a minimal investment they could have had Devonte Wyatt, George Karloftis, or Tyler Linderbaum. Seeing Linderbaum go to Baltimore hurts that is going to be a problem for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Mel: "Great player. I was shocked he was still there. ... The No. 1 safety coming out of high school. Flies to the football. He will come in and be an immediate impact performer. A guy who can get after the quarterback. ... I don't know what the kid's lacking, guys. I thought he was one of the best 13, 14 players in this draft. Versatility - he's perfect for the way the game's played today in the National Football League. Daxton Hill, to me, one of the steals in the draft so far. Daxton Hill should've gone maybe 10-15 picks earlier," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said.

Stripes Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hill and Flowers should pair nicely to neutralize the tight ends on the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 For TJ, before he asks: Hill was Michigan’s sixth-ranked defensive starter last season, per Pro Football Focus. He was good across the board, posting a defensive grade of 77.6 (76.8 in run defense, 74.7 in tackling, 77.8 as a pass rusher and 73.8 in coverage).

AMPHAR Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hill vs Hamilton. I love when these player rivals hook up in the pros. Hill was 5 star, top player of his class. Impressive offer sheets. Committed to Bama at one point. Hamilton was 4 star, ranked about 7th player in the same class as Hamilton. Good offer sheets.
