I doubt that Hill will be available in the 6th round; he might even be gone by our pick in the 5th round.
He's behind Samaje Perine, but I would consider him in the group that includes D'Onta Foreman, Kareem Hunt, Wayne Gallman & James Connor. Bill would be wise to leave the draft with one of them.

Hill sounds like the old Woody Hayes "four yards and a cloud of dust" type grinder that the league tends to underrate. I agree that he's unlikely to last into the 6th. He might be available at #131, but even that may be stretching it unless some team takes Mixon in the 3rd.

EDIT:
Hill has very good ball security, too - averaged one fumble in 136 touches for his career, but fumbled on once in 358 touches in 2016.

Butt fumbled ? No thanks

Only the one time, though. Anyway, NCAA rules are different.
