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
7 of Trey's 17 sacks came against 3rd stringers & backups. If playing against normal competition all season, he probably ends with 11 sacks.
He is a very good player, certainly worth $28million, but he wants mid 30s. He just isn't a good enough all around player to warrant that, IMO.
