Not that I buy this rumor or want Ngakoue on the team so this is purely for discussion purpose but what player in this draft is better value at 19 than a 25 year old proven player with 37.5 career sacks?

Fans grossly overrate draft picks IMO because we spend months talking about them so you don't want to part with them. Cap numbers aside, I'll take 37.5 sacks and a 25 year old proven pass rusher over a 50/50 chance on a draft pick. 

 

He's worth it. If you can afford him. And if someone else will give a 1st. If no one else will, he's not worth it. '21 2nd rounder? All day.

I'm not sure it's fiscally prudent. Yannick is not a true game changing DE, he is essentially a specialist. It's a nice specialty, but worth noting, he's not a 3 down player like Maxx.  His rush defense is non-existent.  

He's going to want to get paid like a top DE in the league, which he is not. He is a non-factor vs the rush, and the Raider moves at DE suggest it matters to them. 

Probably have to move Gabe to get him. Then we have to fill RG. That might be fine, if Raiders have soured on Gabe, no big loss. But worth mentioning. We don't have any cap flexibility till next year.  And really, Jags could use Gabe. I just don't know what Gabe is worth in trade. Gabe and a 2nd rounder? Gabe and a trade down from 19?

The trade market for Yannick has been pretty darn silent, it seems.  I'd hate to overpay.

Money is never an issue. Cap can always be messed with to fit a player in if needed.

 

 

 

 

If you were wondering what Yannick's agent thought about this whole deal.

 

Also, anyone wanna make a trade without having a deal with Yannick?

Look, if we are going to spend 20 million on a DE (which I don’t condone at this time), why not sign Clowney? He’s a complete DE, better player and fits the scheme better.  Plus he doesn’t cost draft capitol!!!
 

Trading a 1st would be madness

Injury history, lack of sacks and Yannick is two years younger.

Draft capital past the top 15 is way over valued. Ill exchange it for a proven play who is young every time.
