We Need To Get In On Another DE Whose Name Is A Mouthful

  YANNICK NGAKOUEDL, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

  NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports "multiple teams" have expressed interest in acquiring Jaguars' franchise tagged DE Yannick Ngakoue.Garafolo stops short of listing which teams have reached out to the Jags' front office, but it's the Eagles, Seahawks, Packers, and Jets who have been linked to a swap this offseason. The most likely outcome remains 25-year-old Ngakoue getting dealt at some point during draft week, though the team may have to regretfully accept less than the desired haul in return. At this rate, it's a long shot Jacksonville even dabbles in long-term discussions with their prized defensive end.

I am dead set against drafting anyone who's name I can't pronounce!

They need someone. Pierce offers even less as a pass rusher than Joseph did last year. Even if Fedi can handle Starter snaps at RDE there needs to be a rotational piece that allows him to kick inside on obvious passing downs.

I'll give up the #25 right now instead of drafting AJ or Matos-Gross.

Getting Ngaouke is going to require giving up some high draft capital, as well as a big extension. I'd rather they try their damn best to bring back Griff on a 1 year deal or so, and draft a guy like D. Taylor or someone with a similar skill set that can play some limited snaps before getting a larger role in a season.

Looks like $13.1million in cap. Take off about $6.6 for rookies. 

In Brez we trust.

There are ways to make it work from a cap perspective...might take some restructuring of contracts, like Barr's, Reiff's, or a long term deal with Harris...

Can we fit Cameron Wake in there on a 1 year deal?  Right the wrong back in 08/09 when we had him in for a tryout and let him go.

Hunter/Fedi/Wake could be a nice rotation.  Fedi starting with Wake coming in on passing downs with fresh legs.  Draft a DE in the first 4 picks to develop
