...A year ago that prediction was based on the idea that Trysten Hill, after a year of grooming, would be able to step into a larger role. That’s what you typically expect from second and even third-round picks in most cases.

But it was a rough rookie season for Hill, not getting much playing time early and also being disciplined by then-coach Jason Garrett for tardiness and sleeping at team meetings. However, his performance did seem to be on an upswing by the end of the year.

Clearly it wasn’t enough for the Cowboys to trust him in 2020, though. They added Gerald McCoy on a three-year deal to play the same spot on the line, the “3-tech” DT role, where Hill is most suited. The fact that it’s a three-year contract is especially damning. It’d be one thing if it was just a single-year deal; a chance for Trysten to keep being groomed and learning from one of the best in the business. But McCoy’s three years will run through the end of Hill’s rookie contract with Dallas...

One of the concerns here, and rightfully so, is that the departed Rod Marinelli had a hand in drafting both Charlton and Hill. If he couldn’t even get it right with the 28th pick in 2017, how much more room for error was there 30 picks later?

What do you mean by “done”?

they’re not going to cut him.

Think that he currently is a dominant player coming through the ranks?...and address your question to the article's author.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah I wouldn't read to much into that. McCoy is 32. Probably has a good year or two left in him.

 

[JohnsKey19]

The switch to more of a two-gap scheme and new coaching staff only increase his already steep learning curve, maturity issues aside. He'll be in an uphill battle for a roster spot this preseason, for sure.

Either develop him or trade him.....it's that simple

...But the biggest disappointment came with the team’s first selection of the year: DT Trysten Hill, from UCF.

Hill’s name was called in the second round (in case you forgot, remember the Cowboys had traded away their first-round pick for Amari Cooper) to the surprise of many. This was perceived by most as a Rod Marinelli pick and after watching Taco Charlton fail in Dallas, fans weren’t very happy.

Even still, Trysten Hill was expected to be a contributor. Instead, he played in only 11% of the defensive snaps and was a healthy scratch most of the season. In the NFL, it’s always difficult to tag a player as a “bust.” Right now, fans and analysts are leaning that way, but it might be too early in his career to do it...

depth and a project for Nolan and his staff , the player has talent but like Taco he needs time and coaching..

 

[KJJ]

The DT signings indicate that Hill didn’t do crap last season and that his days could be numbered. He didn’t even show he had any potential. He wasn’t even good enough to suit up for games. To say he was a disappointment would be an understatement. His rookie season was a complete flop!

 

[JBS]

Either develop him or trade him.....it's that simple

You can't develop trash..you can't trade trash either

 

[Praxit]

..Trysten left with Jurassic Marinelli. They are the new waterboys for the Gators.

 

[Rayman70]

its going to be up to Hill.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Hill is a bust. Bottom line!

 

[Rayman70]

Hill is a bust. Bottom line!

like I said MM will give him a chance to show his value. UP TO HIM..but yeah, he likely will be gone.I have little faith in him.

 

[KJJ]

Hill was such a dud that the only time his name came up on this board last season was when he made the game day roster and when he fell asleep during a meeting and got sent home.

 

[Mr_437]

The Cowboys have to proceed as if Hill is not even on the roster because Hill hasn't shown anything. Simply gifting players automatic roster spots when they clearly are inferior to others at their position is poor team building.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Hill could go go down as one of the worst 2nd round picks in Dallas Cowboys history.

yup those roster spots are valuable. Hill better wake the heck up.

I think he has one foot out the door right now
