You would have a rookie on a rookie contract and give Hendrickson the big deal. Quite plausible. Getting a rookie is an unknown. Hendrickson is an absolute proven stud sack machine at a super important position of need. I cannot emphasize enough how important a pass rushing def end is in the NFL. Hendrickson has missed 1 start in the last 5 years. Make it happen.

The reason I said you can't have both is because in order to get Hendrickson you would have to trade away your first or second round pick which would take away the impact rookie you are saying to get. Glad AP is in charge!

Do I really need to explain this to you? If you trade the 1st, you get the defensive playmaker with the 2nd rd pick and vice versa. There will be dudes available to meet this criteria. You may need to start your draft homework asap with it getting closer since you think that's not plausible. There have been countless defensive studs and playmakers drafted in the 2nd round. Using a 1st round pick is not a requirement to get one.

again, I am glad AP is our GM. 1st, I trust him not to give up a 1st plus for an 30 year old overpay. (at best we would give up the 2nd). 2nd, I trust him to find a blue chip player at 29, or trade and make pick 29 into two and still get a blue chip in the top of the 2nd plus get a pick back either in this draft or next.

If there was a trade to be made for Hendrickson I think AP would have made it, but with 2 weeks to go, I think they are content with getting top talent in the draft.

You know very well that we could get an additional defensive playmaker in the 1st or 2nd rd and acquire Hendrickson. An overpay????? He lead the NFL in sacks last season and had 17.5 the year before that. He is a bonafide star and extremely durable at only 30. I'm also glad AP is the gm but we can have get both under my scenario easily.

If there is someone worth gunning for it is TJ Watt if Pittsburgh cant make him happy due to a potential Aaron Rodgers cost. The risk here is that TJ Watt could be just as easily traded to the eagles. No idea on trade value but Id think it would be our 2nd+ or our 1st and get some change back. TJ Watt can stop the run, Hendrickson cant. The problem is they are both 30 and want 35-40M a year which is insane.
My guess is we draft a guy and grab an old vet who gets cut to make room for one of these young draftees. To me, unless it is Watt, you arent solving the run defense problem. We learned last year you can generate sacks via scheme if you have too. Not as easy to stop the run without big boys or guys know know how to set an edge and form tackle. Watt would be a dream trade in my eyes. Also an attitude fit

I agree. Hendrickson seems to be weak vs. the run and he wants a huge payday?
Pass!
