AFJF Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Pass rusher is now the biggest need on the roster and adding Ngakoue could make the Jets a top 5 defense. That, in turn, could make them a 9-10 win team, meaning the Jets first rounder in 2021 would be quite a bit lower than 2020's 1st. Yay or nay?

Popular Post slats Posted May 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah, absolutely not, and I guarantee Joe Douglas feels the same way. He’s working on ways to add picks right now. He’s not trading away a first round pick. This team is way too far away to start pulling moves like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prez33 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have a hard time believing JD trades a 1st for anyone. As others have mentioned, if the Jags bring their asking price down, then maybe a deal could be made. Ngakoue would be a great fit. For those who compare stats, here’s the difference between Ngakoue and Jordan Jenkins. Both started in 2016: Ngakoue career stats: Tackles: 122 Sacks: 37.5 Forced fumbles: 14 Recovered: 3 Pass deflections: 9 INT’s: 2 Defensive TD’s: 2 2016 PFWA All rookie team 2017 Pro Bowler Jenkins: Tackles: 157 Sacks: 20.5 Forced fumbles: 6 Recovered: 5 Who’s better? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your position, but more so on Clowney, based on his injury history and average sack numbers. But for Ngakoue, I like the age (25), durability, and ability to affect the game in multiple ways. He’s pretty good getting into the backfield against the run, too.

Clowney would make a LOT more sense than Ngakoue, especially since he wouldn't cost a pick. Much more of a "JD fit": PlayerName Pos Year 2018 RAS 2014 RAS Jadeveon Clowney DE 2014 9.71 9.7 As I pointed out in an earlier post, Ngakoue is less athletic than Jordan Jenkins. And Jenkins didn't exactly garner a lot of money out of JD this past offseason. Ngakoue is not a JD fit. Clowney might not be either, but certainly not because of a lack of athleticism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lith Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 No. We can get similar production from Clowney without giving up the pick, and probably do it on a one-year deal. I would much rather sign Clowney than give up a premium pick for Ngakoue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindOverMatter Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Ngakoue is a good pass rusher and I'd love to see him on the team but not by giving up a 1st. He's always had the fortune of playing with other good pass rushers (Campbell, Josh Allen, Fowler), and this past year he had the same amount of sacks as Jordan Jenkins. I'd go as far as giving up a 2nd and 5th, but not a 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
