And they didn't view him as a potential starting TE if they still went ahead and took Casey a round later.

They spent a 4th round pick on a situational luxury pick. It's a wasted pick even if he blocks great.

This has nothing to do with Hill or his performance but rather with drafting a guy to be the backup TE in the 4th round.

He's not a very risky pick. Hill will most likely become a good TE in short yardage sets as there are not as many run blocking TEs coming out of colleges any more. He does have a chance at becoming an every down TE as he has the hands and is a big target.
