Not to mention both of them actually grew up playing football. They didn't just get by through physically dominating children as a grown man (Hunt never had more than 3 sacks until his senior year as a 25-year-old man playing against 18-21-year-old boys). They actually had football skills. The argument is against drafting someone that raw that old, not just that old.
Meanwhile Carlos Dunlap is heading into his 7th year in the NFL and only his age 27 season compared to Hunt's 4th year in the NFL and his age 29 season.
But please, keep pretending that it's not apples to oranges. We all know it's your specialty.
I have seen plenty of posts about age alone that have nothing to do with Hunts skill level.
But Whit was just a year younger than Hunt. So in college he was also "physically dominating children as a grown man" just like Hunt. Surely you are not going to claim that just one year difference in age makes that big of a difference are you?
