Finding quality pass rushers is hard as hell. That's why it surprises me how many of these older veterans end up settling for 1-2 year deals.
I thought the Bengals got an awfully nice deal on Trey Hendrickson at what is effectively 3/$44 million last season. To get a double digit sack guy with speed and strength for less than $15 million/season is a pretty good grab.

Yeah, I would agree that hitting on an elite DE outside the first half of the 1st round is tough. But, this is a quality draft year for DE. They gotta get quality youth at the position this year.
