Garafolo:Jags have heard from several teams re Ngakoue trade

The Jaguars have heard from multiple interested teams about a possible trade for DE Yannick Ngakoue, who turns 25 today. The Jags value him and won’t give him away for little return but it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out as we draw closer to the draft

could be a #2 and more, which is significantly cheaper than starting with #4 overall.

He's an interesting player, but I still wouldn't pay him $22M per season. Elite dollars only for elite talent.

Chris684 : 3/31/2020 9:50 am : link
but in the modern NFL it's hard to justify premium pick/s AND premium dollars to one player. I moved on from him when Jacksonville tagged him.

I'd rather sign Golden and Correa for modest deals at this point.
I would do a swap of 1st rounders  
Rudy5757 : 3/31/2020 9:51 am : link
and add 2 day 3 picks. thats about all. I also would have the contingency on a deal in place. No contract no trade. I think if we offered him a deal in the $18M per range that would be all. Clowney is not getting over $20M either so that seems to be a good number and long term security.

Well, let’s start at the beginning. Take Ngakoue out of the equation.

What would it cost, in your view, as Giants GM, to move down to #9 with the Jags. Just pick wise. Go!

I would probably stick to #4 for #9 and Ngakoue. The difference in value between #4 and #9 on the value chart is about a 2nd round pick. And in a QB heavy class the pick is even worth more.

So I don't think the Jags would get better value than to move all the way up to #4. They either have there pick of Okudah or Simmons. Or even Tua/Herbert if they really want to go that route.

With all due respect sir, we have been debating on this site for months, that we could deal down with the Dolphins at 5, Chargers at 6 or the Panthers at 7 and get a 2nd, a 3rd and a future pick. Potentially, of course. The QB’s (if available) make the difference.

Now, the price is only a 2nd to go from 9 to 4? Not IMO. ESPECIALLY if they want a QB. Who knows if they do

I’m immediately asking for 2 second rounders to start if I’m moving down 5 slots. And with that I’d probably want a 4th too. There’s a premium for someone moving up for a QB.

I get the chart. I do. However, if a QB they love is available at 4 and the Jags have the opportunity to jump (as many as 3 teams) who may value that QB just as highly, I’m throwing the chart out the window.

I don’t even know why I started this idea. DG isn’t trading down. We all know it. LMAO

oh I agree but the thought is the Jags want a 2nd round pick plus an additional asset. It was rumored early they want a #1. If they are interested in a #2 + an additional asset that is around pretty "fair" value to move from #4 to #9 (according to the chart). Now it all depends on leverage.

If the jags have 3 or 4 good offers for Yannick then we can't really ask for the moon. If they are desperate to move him we probably get an extra pick.

However to the point. We would get a pass rusher + get one of the tackles we might be picking anyway at #9. It kinda fills two holes in one move.
Issue for Yannick wasn't just about money  
bc4life : 3/31/2020 10:56 am : link
Read that he was issued that initially it was more about length of the contract.

So, in that scenario, if we take JonC’s post into account, that the asking price is a 2nd rounder, that eliminates this years 2nd rounder for Ngakoue, leaving, in your view, a 4th and another 2nd.

We’ll even throw them the 4th as part of the Ngakoue piece just to be nice. That still leaves a 2nd coming to us, so how is asking for their 3rd too steep, if you were GM?

#4 for #9, Ngakoue (2nd and 4th) and a 3rd (your asking price of the addl 2nd)

he has had a very similar career start to Osi. Now when Osi was 26 years old he did put of a 14 sack season. So Ngakoue is 25 today so it is pretty similar trajectory.

But when you look at fumbles forced. The game changing ability Osi had Ngakoue already has 14 fumbles forced in 4 years. Which again is even a better pace then Osi.

Sometimes just the threat of a guy like him on the edge makes you think and changes the game just like Osi did. Its that internal clock for QB's and one sack fumble can change a game.

He's a really good player and still really young.
JonC - To be fair  
bc4life : 3/31/2020 11:00 am : link
One season w/ double digit sacks - but he just missed it with 9 in another season, 7 in another. and he is always in doubles re:TFL & QB hits and I can't find stats on hurries.

What really made me intrigued me about him was listening to Taylor Lewan talk about playing aginst him (Some good video with it).
link - ( New Window )
To be clear, I would prefer to deal down  
Saos1n : 3/31/2020 11:02 am : link
And just take on the extra picks. I trust DG to draft well. I just don’t trust him to maximize value of the #4 pick, in a trade down. I don’t want to pony up $20M+ a year for Ngakoue, but I would prefer that, then to sit tight at 4 and take 1 player

That's a different, more accurate take. Osi wasn't really an elite pass rusher either. He had two pro bowl seasons, a few double digit sack seasons, a career high of 14.5 etc. He was a very good player, who had a knack for clutch plays, and could get white hot at times.

Two very good players, but elite should be reserved for those who are elite. Pay them accordingly so you avoid the Olivier Vernon overpay situation.

JonC : 3/31/2020 11:07 am : link
He's a very good, promising, ascending player. But, the elite guys are doing all of those things, racking up 15+ sacks, playing the run well, and opponents are scheming with them at the center of the gameplan.

I pay Khalil Mack $22M per, I'm not paying A+ money to YN at this time.

oh agreed. But when does a "elite" pass rusher hit the open market in his prime? Mack was probably the last one and he has 40.5 sacks in his first 4 years compared to Ngakoue 37.5 in his first 4 years.

Considering it cost the Bears 2 1st round picks and then pay Mack. If it just cost moving down 5 spots form #4 to #9 (still get a tackle we covet). It's something we should consider.

And while Osi wasn't an all-pro DE. He was still a game changer. We don't win either superbowl without him. Those type of guys can get shut out for 3 qtr but all they have to do is beat there guy one time in the 4th and come up with a huge sack fumble and change a game.

I guess considering our 3 options

1 - take simmons at #4
2 - take #1 OT on the board at #4
3 - trade down to chargers at #6 get an extra 2nd round pick
4 - trade down to #9 and get Ngakoue and #9 (still get one of (Wirfs, Wills, or Becton).

I could make the case scenario #4 makes our team the best in the immediate and long term future.

Saquon'sQuadz : 3/31/2020 11:53 am : link
I'd do it. You aren't gonna find a talent in the 2nd round as good as him (at least the Giants wont LOL). and I'd pay Yannick 20M (maybe he takes less to get out of Jax on top of it) before I'd give LW 14 or 15M
This is really intriguing  
USCtoNYG : 3/31/2020 11:57 am : link
ignoring the later round swaps involved, getting a tackle at 9 plus getting the young edge rusher we've been looking for (at hopefully around 18/19 a year) would solve so much of our problems. The only caveat is the $16M on williams. Id want to rescind that tag unless they move some money around. But, they are hoping to sign him long term. That would seem very unlikely if we got Yonick and paid him. So just rescind it if we can get this trade (it's not like we're getting our pick back, and its not changing to a fourth).
I also dont think a trade like this can happen anytime but during the draft bc if somehow young falls, we ignore every offer and take him.

They would have to have like a deal in place based on who is there at 4 for the Giants (if its Young, the deal obviously wouldn't be completed then) something like that.

Giving up a 2 to move up 2-3 spots
Think we can get a 3 this yr, maybe a 4 too if we throw in a 6
Still would give us 5 picks in first 110 or so
Would have probably the choice of OT still, if not at least 2-4th rated
4 other picks can grab center, ER, safety and WR
Probably sport a decent young team if u do well drafting
And still set up well on salary cap in 2021, even after paying saquon
Solder and Tate would probably be off the books

i know it seems like a lot consider the value chart. But when QB's are in plan the value chart goes out the window. For example the jets trade #6 and 3 2nd round picks to move up to #3. If you consider the chart they overpaid probably by a late 1st rounder (600-700 pts). But if you want to secure your QB of the future the trade chart goes out the window.

Caldwell has been a terrible GM for Jax but somehow still survives. But Tony Khan would do a flying elbow drop on Dave Caldwell if he even entertained the #99 pick (104 point value) and 2nd in 2021 for Yannick.
Not sure what the appropriate thread to post the info is -  
Diver_Down : 4/1/2020 2:15 pm : link
but this seemed like as good as thread as any. The market for Edge has come down. Clowney is no longer looking for $20M/yr. He is looking for $17-$18M/yr.

For a top FA Edge setting the market at $18M/yr where no draft assets have to be surrendered, then this affects what Yannick can expect. The more draft capital that is surrendered, the less a team will pay that player. Clowney's market figures was just reported on NFL Live.
As the world turns, these are the days of our lives.

Another day in the Chronicle of Yannick. Each day that passes, Jax is losing the leverage battle. His tweets in the past 24 hours is setting the Jaguar's House on fire. By the time the draft rolls around, Caldwell will be forced to unload him for whatever he can get.

Just have to bump this as Yannick kept feeding the fire. If this continues for the next couple of weeks, Caldwell may be forced and happy to take our Mr. Irrelevant Pick.
