https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/05/26/the-pff-top-101-of-2014-top-to-bottom/ he's definitely on the

Like i said.
What a player..and look at how much we are paying him. The best value player in the NFL.
The link you posted - "Pro Football Focus' list" doesn't mention Will Hill at all................ No where on that site do they list Hill as the top safety, literally no where. He is listed as the 14th best safety of 2014 with a 9.3 grade.
Don't get me wrong I like Hill a lot and I think an off season with the Ravens and their coaches can only do him well; but lets not get it twisted the man is not the best Safety in the NFL and Pro Football Focus never claimed he was.
Daryl Smith played on a lot of bad teams too. I don't like Jernigan in our scheme, and he has some ugly tape. Gillmore is a reach and will need to develop. We didn't address OT or CB at all, and we missed on the best WR draft in 20 years.
What does playing on a bad team have to do with making an All-Pro. That distinction is not given out based on team performance but individual performance that statement is both superfluous and inaccurate.
You don't like Jernigan in our scheme? we play a 3-4, he is the perfect size for a 3-4 end, and our coaches apparently do like him and I trust their evaluation infinitely more than yours.
How do you know Gillmore was a reach? Were you present in every NFL war room during the draft to see where other teams had him ranked? Marcus Smith was taken in the first was widely considered to be a 2-3 round talent; same with Bucannon. Easly was mocked in the second but both the Pats and Seahawks had him as a first round talent, pretty high regard coming from those two franchises.
You are simply regurgitating what you heard from Mcshay, Kiper, and read on bleacher report.
I'm just concerned that we drafted too many leaders. Somebody has to follow or it all breaks down.
In order to lead you need to know how to follow. Rookies aren't just anointed a leader the second he walks into a locker room, they aren't given a ribbon marking them as a leader. These kids will have an opportunity to earn the respect from our current players and in time, some, may, hopefully, become future leaders.
Mosley better be an All-Pro, or this draft could look bad in a couple years.
That's the dumbest evaluation I've read yet. Daryl Smith has never been an All-Pro, there have been literally dozens of very good players who have either never made an All-Pro, or made a second team All-Pro once or twice.
And why would this entire draft look bad if one of the 8 players we drafted didn't pan out? Brooks, and Jernigan could both be All-Pros, but according to you that wouldn't matter because Mosely isn't an All-Pro? What are you talking about its not even a week after the draft and your projecting five years down the road.

10 Regular season games, 12 if you add the post season which does bring him up to 6th according to PFF rankings. So, fair enough, but no matter how you look at it I think we can all agree Hill isn't a top safety but probably in that next tier down.
