Report: Raiders close to a trade for Yannick

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

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 don't get this move.  They signed Nassib, they drafted Maxx Crosby who had a huge year and then took Ferrell 4th overall(which will always be a head scratcher over Josh Allen), Jacksonville should take it and run.

The Raiders were too cash strapped to sign Mack.  Their poor revenue when they were in Oakland and the fact that the team is the main (only?) source of income for the Davis family was the problem.  There is a CBA rule that requires that all guaranteed contract money is set aside at the time of signing.  It’s a holdover from when the league was small and not guaranteed to succeed, but is still in effect.  They were stuck.

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. 

The cost is  not only a 1st round pick ,  I’m pretty sure they will have to sign him to a new contract, ( 17-20 mil a year ? )

The Raiders are doomed to be 8 and 8 forever they are spinning their wheels.  Didnt want to pay Mack but want to give up a 1st and pay similar money to a lesser player.

 

It was eye opening rewatching the 2014 draft last night.  Gruden hated the Mack pick.  Thought the Raiders needed to draft Manziel instead.   Thankful Gruden and his ego are in the AFC.

that's more than i thought the jags would get for him. jags would have 3 first rounders to load on talent. take that and run. 

If the Jags had done the right thing and fired Marone they would be able to reshape their organization with those picks.  New coach, new qb.  Instead they will use those picks on replacing the players who didnt want to play for the bozo head coach.

Da Raiders should of kept Mack and paid him. Mack is all class and was a proven pass rusher. 

Yannick has not proven much except that he needs to stay off Twitter. 

 

Hindsight is 50\50 to Gruden.

Mack got $23.5M/year.  I hope YN asks for at least that much.

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.

I think that Mack is considerably better than Ngakoue.

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.

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

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. 

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.
