Yes. But it is pretty close.
Trey had way better pass rush numbers and way less help. Probably Trey as pure pass rusher. Overall, Watt probably has a slight edge. Garrett a bigger one.
Trey lead the league in sacks, pressures, quick pressures, and sack rate. Led in sacks created with 26 while no one else had more than 14 IIRC. 3rd in quick pressure rate.

Now, Trey is not a great run defender. And he takes himself out of some plays getting too wide/upfield too much.
I think Garrett is clearly better & more well rounded. But Watt is more questionable.
PFF:
Player: Overall, Pass, Run
Garrett: 92.3, 92.8, 78.4
Hendrickson: 88.1, 90.4, 65.9
Watt: 92.2, 90.1, 90.4
