    Reading about this guy has really got my attention. Very Polite in his interviews, yes sir no sir kind of guy. He and a friend also saved somebody's life from a burning house while driving home.

    As for the football side. He's 6' 4" 329 lbs and very athletic. His coach said he was an outstanding Basketball player. Ran a 5.12 40 at the combine with 27 reps in the bench. Played DE and DT in college. Very very intriguing prospect.

    Check out this interview.

    I like Hill a lot, I think he's a good second-day project that could potentially play NT at the next level.

    I completely second that nomination!
    I wish he would have been at the Shrine Bowl so I could have seen him play....especially against Louis Vasquez. LOL

    I'd rather draft Hill rather then Raji. Not in the first round of course. But if Raji fell to 25 for some odd reason I wouldn't take him. He's got bust written on him IMO. Failing a drug test at the combine, Getting suspended for a fight, academic problems. Sorry I just don't see it.

    I'd rather take a late round flyer on a guy like Hill.

    It's a controversial topic, but I agree with you. IMO the best theory for drafting is picking an approach and staying consistent with it.

    For me I'd choose to not draft players with a checkered past (for no other reason that maintaining strong team unity/commonality as we saw in our success last year), and I'd have to stay consistent with that approach for maximum success.... especially regarding a 1st round pick, b/c IMO there are too many talented players still on the board with less question marks about character, heart, desire... or whatever the individual case may be. :wink2:

    I've been scouting Hill for our GM league I'm in and his size alone and agility amazes me.
