Prospect Profile: Jason Hill

Buffalo Bills Nation continues its look at top NFL Draft prospects today with wide receiver Jason Hill. A very productive college receiver, Hill is a first-day pick who could make an impact for the Bills.

Jason Hill, WR, Washington State
Height: 6'1" Weight: 204 40-Time: 4.32 seconds Senior

STRENGTHS: Production
- Very productive college receiver, scoring 32 touchdowns in is career... Good hand-eye coordination and body control... Can make all the catches... Very good athlete who ran faster at the Combine than everybody expected... Great instincts and is very adept at finding holes in zones... Has very good strength which will help him out when blocking... Has a nose for the end zone, where he is helped out by his great athleticism... Somewhat of an underrated prospect.

WEAKNESSES: Concentration
- Can sometimes lose focus and drop easy passes... Occasionally runs sloppy routes... Lacks explosiveness out of his cuts... Likely will struggle separating from NFL cornerbacks due to this lack of explosion... Needs to use his hands better to get out of jams... Lacks intensity as a blocker... Many scouts feel that his college production masks obvious flaws in his game, and thus think he is overrated.

NFL COMPARISON: Isaac Bruce, St. Louis
- Bruce is not the fastest wideout in the league, but he runs crisp routes, is a heady wideout and year after year produces above-average numbers. If Hill can lose his concentration problems and work on his agility, he has the ability to become every bit as effective as Bruce has been throughout his career.

DOES HE FIT THE "BILL"?: Yes.
- I say "yes" while still holding the theory that the Bills will not draft a wide receiver this year. The team has four wide receivers they use regularly on offense, and the chances that the team uses a Day 1 pick on the position are slim. I am a huge fan of Hill as a prospect, though, and feel that he would be a good addition to the team. It's not going to happen, but Hill is going to be a good receiver in this league for a long time.

BILLS NATION FINAL GRADE: 8.1 out of 10
