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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
