Denver Broncos Sign Wide Receiver Jason Hill

camp body if that. Jags has TERRIBLE wr’s and he was cut from them?

nice signing

That would be a good thing…I’m done with my mini rant lol

Decker and DT really looking like our top 2 WR’s, after that we are shallow, unless we bring Royal back or draft another WR. But if we do bring back Royal, we will have 3 very fast WR’s in DT, Hill and Royal.

this maybe says we are keeping the deep ball as a focus of the attack, and by extension the read-option. reading into it too much? damn.

i still like this addition. hopefully, he can find out how to get open and catch the ball. then, we’ll have us something. until then he is darrius watts, pretty much.

why I’ve seen so many people complain about this move. I love it. A nice veteran addition who has speed. It’s a nice find in my opinion.

One Panther, one Jaguar, now that is very interesting…

Mike Mayock, the NFL Network’s lead college football and draft analyst, downplayed Hill’s accomplishment at the Combine by saying, “People were buzzing that night about Jason Hill at the Combine … But I see a guy that runs in the 4.4, 4.5 range on the football field. He’s a heck of a football player and he’s fast, but he’s not Ted Ginn. When I look at him, I take a step back and say don’t get carried away with the Combine. He’s fast but he’s not a burner.”

Broncos signed WR Jason Hill, formerly of the Jaguars.

Hill ran in the low 4.3s at 6-foot, 202 at the 2007 Combine, but he’s been a total flop as an NFL player. The receiver-depleted Jaguars were forced to release Hill last November due to a flurry of key drops and an inability to separate downfield. The Broncos would be better off if Hill didn’t make the 53.

Who thinks Willis will make it again this year? Just curious..I am pretty sure Royal will be gone. Good to see we are making moves like this.

who has great potential IMO, he was with the Niners, it never worked out for him, nor did things work out in Jax, perhaps it’s the third time the charm

We do need a speed guy, although we’ve already got a couple of fast guys with high drop rates. Maybe he’s young enough that it’s something that can drastically improve this offseason. More curious about Dell, though.

Might become our return guy

and had 1-2 good early games in ‘11. I think he can be a playmaker, but he has dropp issues. Oh and he said last year that Darrelle Revis is overhyped before the Jaguars played the Jets. Luckily for him, he was injured so can’t play on that game…

Overall I think he is a good 3rd, 4th WR who can be a deep threat!

but thats not saying much. dont expect him to be a breakout player waiting to happen because thats what we thought and it never happen. hes not a bad receiver but hes not good either so if he makes the roster he will be at best a rotation guy

This is an excellent signing… depth signing that is. Eddie Royal had his chances, and between his impotence, injuries and drops as a WR, it’s pretty easy to see he will be playing somewhere else next year. Ya never know though… they might be willing to pay him and let him be the sole RET.

Assets: Has elite athleticism and top-end speed, the needed ingredients of a pure deep-play threat. Is also very shifty. Runs routes well and can really take off if the defender misses his tackle.

Flaws: Has a history of inconsistency and doesn’t always seem to be in-sync with his quarterback. Not a physical receiver and won’t make the tough catch in heavy traffic.

I can’t tell if these signings are just bodies for TC or if they can be counted on to improve the bottom of the roster. Either way, there’s certainly room for improvement down there, and I like the personnel groups they have addressed so far (OL and WR).
