I'm not sure we need a true #1 either.

...and was Hill really a "true #1"? I think his size limited him in many crucial downs and he could disappear for stretches. I think a guy like Olave, who ran a surprisingly fast 40 could be a great #1/replacement due to his excellent route running. Art Monk ran a 4.5, Jerry Rice ran a 4.71, Larry Fitzgerald a 4.63...all were famously dedicated and learned were among the best route runners. None had Hill speed, but all could do many things Hill couldn't that made them as effective or more.
