Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

I have seen some people say Hendrickson is a possibility to us in free agency.

I would hate to see what that costs.

It would be so us to trade a young pass rusher for a cup of pudding only to realize we need one and sign an old, oft-injured one for similar $$

Sign. We don’t have time to wait for one to develop.

Why? We have years to wait for the QB.
Three most important positions, LT, QB, sack artist. 
We wait years for one, but not the other two. 
 

I guess, for me, sign FA who do the meat and potatoes work. Draft the players who are gonna be cornerstones. Let them develop. Resupply every few seasons and keep filling in the right guard and the nickel back and centers etc. 

Best to draft them all but practically, you can’t

Roughly ~2–5% of all drafted players become true elite pass rushers (multiple All-Pro or consistently top-tier), and ~8–15% make at least one Pro Bowl at pass rusher (heavily dependent on draft round). Chances we get lucky in the next 2 seasons are extremely low. We cry about our non existent pass rush then also cry when we are unwilling to trade for top tier talent.

unless its a rare blue chip pass rusher top 5 or 10 then it normally takes on average at least 2 to 3 years for a pass rusher to fully develop in the NFL .its simply put a HUGE learning curve 

so do you want a pass rusher right now or 2 or 3 years from now ?  ...just saying

Next season feels like a make a run/high expectations season. We can’t afford to rely on a rookie pass rusher. We need a good veteran presence.

I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t think that. 

At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and super conservative calls. 
So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026.
No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
