We’re reaching the part of the draft where I don’t believe future starters are lurking. Brian Hill and Eric Saubert will likely top out as platoon partners or useful reserves, but for fifth round picks, that’s still pretty great. Hill has a trickier path to playing time and relevance than Saubert does, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player, and that doesn’t mean opportunities won’t be there.
Hill will will enter the year as the team’s obvious candidate as the guy behind Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman on the depth chart, likely bumping Terron Ward off the roster.
