It is understandable that some people might have dismissed Hendrickson as a 1 year wonder (though watching his games and listening to Saints fans was a good way to dispel those notions), but I'll take a 1 year wonder over a no year wonder any day of the week. Lawson is/was all potential. If he ever puts it all together and stays healthy for a season, I'm sure he'll turn in very good results. But are you going to invest 5 years in him waiting for that to happen? The easy money says you'll never see a season out of Carl Lawson that is anything close to what Trey Hendrickson did last year.
You are severely underrating Lawson here. When healthy - he’s a hell of a pass rusher. He proved that his 1st and last years here.
