Hilton is good for what he is. He's a zone corner with major limitations and blitzes on half of his reps. I don't think he's that good, but he's also not horrible. Just very scheme-dependent.

The Bengals D-Coordinator (for now) is very zone heavy.  Jackson excelled as a man press corner which was why he was better before Lou got there.  The fit is better with Awuze/Hilton, even if they aren't as talented a combo as Jackson/Alexander.  Unfortunately, we have no faith in Lou and who knows if the next D-Coordinator will be a zone guy as well.  I think this effectively takes the Bengals out of taking a CB before day 3 unless the value is just too good to pass up.

He is a solid player, but Ive never been as high on him as others.  He is a solid tackler and great blitzer, but he can be a liability in coverage.   

Sucks he went to a division rival, but Im glad we kept Sutton over him.

Underrated signing for sure. Was hoping the niners would look his way but once Moseley and Verrett were re-upped it didn’t seem likely. Depending on what the numbers are they may have replaced WJIII and what his contract will look like with Awuzie and Hilton, not bad.

Still not trying to improve that abysmal OL.

Apparently we're just going to lock in on one of Sewell/Slater and sign a 4th tier guard in FA and say viola!  Maybe if they are feeling really spicy they trade back from 5 and then take someone like Darrisaw or Cosmi.  It's why Bengals fans on social media are livid.  I get it, but it's exhausting to read.  Even something like Zeitler and Feiler would have made people happy and have Bengals fans thinking about taking JaMarr Chase at 5.
