I'll wait till next year when they have 5-6 dt with first round grades like Ed Oliver and dexter Lawrence.

Just because someone gets shut down in one or two games doesn't mean they aren't worthy of a Top 15 pick.
And you said Hurst wasn't worth a top 50 pick, not top 15 pick.
And Maurice Hurst led all of FBS defenders in pass rush grade, not just those that are draft eligible this coming year. Not fair to judge him based on just the OSU game.

And by your logic, Dexter Lawrence shouldn't be a Top 15 pick either. He has only 2.5 sacks this year. Talk about getting shut down for such a stud. The DT next to him, Wilkins, has had 4.5 sacks.

Listen, I'm not intending to say next year's class is bad, but I feel you aren't giving enough credit to this year's class. Christian Wilkins, Maurice Hurst, Taven Bryan, Harrison Phillips, Dre'Mont Jones, and Trenton Thompson all have shown they can rush the passer well. Da'Ron Payne and Vita Vea look like very good 3-4 NTs.
