If I remember correctly none of the top 5 rushers in the league in preseason made a final roster.

The rest of the league watched all the preseason tape on Hill and decided he was not worth a roster spot.  The Falcons signed him to their practice squad mainly because he was with them in 2017.

Preseason games aren't completely meaningless. It's really the only time many young players get a chance to show that they can compete with other NFL quality talent, the area beyond college. You can look at their college production, but until they strap in with the rest of the guys trying to make the jump from college to pros they're still just former college players. Where else can they display whatever talent they may have beyond college games? 
So they might be playing against scrubs.. So what? Many of those scrubs go on to long NFL careers. Many won't make it, but those who do become pros and it's the only time we as fans ever get to see them after college before they actually become professional football players. It might not seem important to you, but I'm sure coaches and teams see it quite differently.
