Check out all of the stats on the other 31 3Ts in the league, along with all of their other stats. BJ Hill measures up just fine, especially for the price range that he commands. If you want a sack artist at 3T? That's going to cost $25M+ (unless you draft one and get the benefit of a rookie contract) 

If you think he's a great 3T that's cool.

I think he's average to above average.
Our DT play fell off a cliff a couple years ago when he became the starter--but he got injured too.

I get you think the defense will be good this year.
I don't.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
I'm not going to argue with you about it.
I would certainly love to see the defense be average or better.
I'll believe it when I see it.

I like our first round pick and have high expectations for him.
But he's one player and the Bengals need a lot more help than that on D.
I like the second round pick as well.
A lot of these recent draft picks on defense are still very young and a good amount of them have low ceilings.
I'm hoping to see improvement this year and then a good draft next year.
We'll see what happens.
