Proposed Trade

To mov from 4 to 20 for only Ngahoui is not enough compensation. Throw in a third and a later round pick as well. 16 slots is a lot and the drop off in talent is huge.

is paying Ngakoue after they just tagged Williams. You can draft Simmons with the #4 pick and he's cost effective for 4 years.

Beside that why would the Jags give up Ngakoue and their first round pick to move up. They're more than likely wanting the 4th and keeping their own.

what a trade would look like with Ngakoue as part of the package.

Included or no?

For 4. Then we can still get our OT

and their 2nd.

Great idea.

because Yannick doesn't have a contract after this year. Won't happen.

NY Giants get Yannick Ngakoue, pick 9 and Jacksonville’s 3rd rounder.

This would give NYG
1. Ngakoue
2. Pick 9 select a Left Tackle
3. Pick 36 Select a Center or Free Safety
4. Jax 3rd round pick, select Center or Free Safety

We would have 8 more selections to address:
WR, RB depth, OG depth, OT depth, LB depth, CB depth

do you want to be in my fantasy football league?

No thanks, Eric. I used to play FF till I wound up with NFC East players playing against the Giants. Haha!

Swap 4 and 9. Then I’d do the deal.

We would still have a shot at OT at #9; we'd have another premium pick in 3rd round; and, we'd have our ER that can lift our defense.

However, you would have to have a long-term, 4 year type deal in place and essentially signed prior to the trade. We of course could make it happen.

The other dilemma we face is how highly do we rate the #4 pick? Who is likely to be on the table when we pick? Getting the contract done beforehand isn't likely given Jags would want to know their guy is in place at #4 FIRST, right?

I would love to see a defensive front with both Leo Williams and Ngakoue. But, we would have to rescind the tag on Leo to get this done, right?

We go down 16 spots plus have to pay Nguakwe 20 mill a year. No way.

but the 9th pick, not the 20th. Maybe you throw in a late round pick as well.

Ngakoue is a good rising player, but he is due a lot of money, and as JonC has pointed out, he is not an elite ER.

of paying a boat load of resources for a one dimensional passrusher, as good as he is. He's OSI redux. I'd pay tons for young Michael Strahan, JJ Watt or Mack, but this guy is not that caliber of player. He's a great passrusher and that's where the greatness stops.

we might even have a guy close to that in Carter and Zimines. Give them another year, especially Ximines who looked good as a rookie from a small school.


This move screams win now. I know we need star power on D, but Ngakoue is not a transcendent player. You better be getting back HOF talent in that kind of a deal.
