A few WRs that I like were available at 2.3, but in this group of drafters, I hesitate to not spread out my team foundation. I like Hillis and have watched him a while as a Razorback fan. He is really solid. I do think that I was guilty of reaching for him this early in the second, but he was my top RB left on the board. He is a much better receiving option than most give him credit for.Other's thoughts?
:muzzle:Seriously someone would have grabbed him but not me. He has fumble problems, a new coaching staff, what RB that looks like Hillis has ever been asuccessful in any type of WCO? In dynasty I would sell high, in redrafts he has the makings of a 2011 bust. Now the Pimps loves Hillis and I have had to say many times I was wrong for his production level in 2010, but right now I am non believer in his long term success. As the team gets better and has something resembling a receiving corp and frontline TEs the need to throw the ball all the time to Hillis will cease. I can see him racking up 1,000 yds and 10 TDs so he's not a complete bust or anything but I don't see him being a top3 type back again. And obviously the other 15 owners that passed on him first and sometimes twice felt similar. I know what he did this year RZ, you don't have to post his numbers up. You needed a RB and you started there. This is best ball, he won't be your only back and you rock in these things so I'm sure as part of a 4-5 man rotation you will create he'll fit in just fine. I don't love the pick right now but perhaps by the time we get inot the double digit rounds and he is part of a group of guys I might like him a little more.
