Report: Raiders close to a trade for Yannick

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Good for Jacksonville if they get a 1st. Although they're losing a very good pass rusher that's only 25. Probably a fair deal is a late 1st.

To be fair, they got multiple 1sts for Mack. If they get Ngakoue ultimately as replacement for just 1 1st then that's a good trade overall for them. 

 

Its basically Mack for Ngakoue and a 1st.

I think that Mack is considerably better than Ngakoue.

they better be sure about gardner if that's who they're rolling with.  he had a pretty decent year last year but now they need a new secondary basically, a rb wr and tight end to start.  if i were them i'd go cb, s  and wr first 3 picks. 

They for sure need a CB, S, and WR.   If they make this trade they will also need a defensive end

 

Opening a ton of holes with all these trades.

Discounted a few years.  There are a number of trades where teams traded 1st later years for 2nd current year.

I think the virus may be some motivation as well here.  Just like Beane did, I’d rather use my 1st on a proven commodity that can hit the ground running come TC if there is one. Yannick for a 1st is not a bad deal. 

 

It is when you compare how much you are paying him versus how much you are paying the pick there...that is probably like 12-13 million more than a player picked there for 4+ years

well they took josh allen high last year. maybe they use yannick money and go for clowney?  dt is also a big need for them

 

[Kirby Jackson]

That feels like a big price for him. It feels like an odd fit with the young guys that they have at the position. I wonder if they deal one of the guys from last year for a pick? Why wouldn’t you just sign Clowney (who I think is the better player) and keep the pick?

I don't think that really applies as they are both at the same point in their career, so the Raiders will get benefit later

Jags can trade him anytime, I understand they want a pick tonight but if it doesn’t happen I still don’t see him playing for them again.

And cost significantly more.

Raiders are so dumb. They had Mack and Amari Cooper and since they traded them, they’ve continued to focus on replacements for them.

I just don’t believe that the Jags would refuse to take 19th pick from the Raiders , especially when he said MORE then once that he’s not playing another game in the Jags uniform

I think Clowney is insanely overrated.  $15 million + for 32 sacks in 6 years?  No thanks.  He’s like Mario except without the actual production.  There’s a reason he’s going to be on his 3rd team in 3 years.  He’s not that good.

 

and YN is annoying but my man is 25 and has 37.5 sacks in 4 years.

Yeah - fins traded tunsil post draft and camp last year and still got 1sts... but that was bill obrien. Does he have anything left to trade for Ngakoue?

Except that they spent a high first last year on Clelin Ferrel who turned out to be underwhelming (though still early) so they've spent 2 firsts to replace Mack who is a better player than Yannick and Ferrel together. 

 

Would you rather have Khalil Mack and Devin White, or Clelin Ferrel and Yannick. Figure if they have Maxx Crosby anyways, I'm taking Mack and White all day.

Clowney gets a ton of pressure and TFL. If you are saying $17M a year for Clowney or $22M & a first for Yannick I’m going Clowney all day long.

Yeah I can't see them getting better than that.

Ferrel is too early to tell he wasn't lighting the world on fire but he did show some flashes (4.5 sacks is not tragic for a rookie) DE's take some time to develop so I wouldn't call that pick a miss just yet. But I would agree that if they are giving up pick 19 for Yannick that squanders a big part of what they got for Mack. Yannick is a very good player but I am not giving up a 1st and a 18-20 million dollar a year contract for a very good player. The Raiders would be generous to offer their two 3rd round picks for Yannick and the Jags should be happy to get that haul.

If I'm the raiders, once pick 20 comes on the clock, I call the jaguars and say "Sorry, had to draft XXX, I got a second available for Ngakoue."
