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.

True. I do need to watch more film on Hurst. But to me he's an early second pick. Sorry I meant 15, he's worthy of top 50... I've seen 3 games of his and he dosent scream next Geno to me. And this class is very good, but next year has 5-6 that j would consider vying for pro bowl and all pro consideration wen this is done. Also I expect dremont Jones to come back. Vita vea I'm is more worthy if a top 15 pick than Hurst. But u are right about this class it's solid, but I don't see any 10+ sack a year guys. I see 5-6 next year.

If you are drafting in the top10, you have to take the BPA, and I don't think Hurst is that guy.

I also want the best center in the draft. If that means moving up to get him using some of the comp picks or picks acquired in your trade, so be it. I'm done with the 2nd and 3rd prospects. We need a can't miss guy.

Billy price. Can't miss. He would have been a first round pick had he stayed at guard. Bengals love their versatility. Very athletic for a center as well as a road grader. There's an article I posted about how hard he works. He's far and away the best center and I fully expect him to be gone by end of round 1.
