Trading that 2nd round pick could really come back to hurt us if we are in that range and need to trade up to get one of the top QBs. I would trade every pick for the next two years to get Lawrence, can make a case he is the best QB prospect to go #1 since Peyton Manning.
Watching Ngakoue"s get off , jump cut followed by the strip the last 2 weeks is worth a second rounder.
He's not in shape yet either.
It hasn't resulted in any wins, we are likely not going to make the playoffs and it is not very likely with our payroll and the likelihood of us going into a complete rebuild mode that he will be resigning here next year, so in the long run it will really be a waste of a pick. We just didn't have the talent on this team for a trade like that to make sense.

I’m still hopeful he’ll re-sign. He looks like a really good player. But yeah if he leaves after this season then that trade was bigly boneheaded.
I got no issues trading a #2 for a 25 year old who makes splash plays like that. So we shouldn't acquire an all pro ceiling, pass-rushing talent who's in their 20's cause that alone isn't enough to win this year?
Silly notion. Thats exactly how you build a team. Acquiring him was as close to a sure thing pro-bowler as you can get, certainly more than a draft choice. And did I say he's only 25?
YN, Hendricks and Hunter are the future of this D.
All the DL love playing for Dre too. Resigning YN is the least of their worries (or mine).

THIS!
I haven't seen it mentioned in any articles or threads but Capers had something to do with this trade.
In 2019 he coached YN in J'ville as defensive specialist.

Exactly right. A disruptive player who is only 25 - happy to have him. But usually when a team trades for a player that is in the last year of his contract, they sign him to an extension as soon as they acquire him - like the Bears signed Khalil Mack to a multiyear deal immediately. Having Yannick here on a one-year deal is worrisome...he wasn't worth a high 2nd if he stays no longer than Sheldon Richardson.
Did the Vikings waive the right to place the franchise tag on him after the year?

No.
A lot of NFL analysts were up in arms because he took 5 million less and can still be franchised in 2021.
He wanted out of J'ville as bad as Diggs wanted out of Minnesota.

Thanks. I knew he took less money, but wasn't sure if he could still be tagged next offseason. At least there's some protection from that standpoint.
I never thought I would jump on the tank train but what a train wreck. Lawrence, Fields or Lance. They need to get serious about a qb and OL and people to develop them.

He was not allowed to sign an extension because of being franchised and traded. I think the expectation is that they'll re-sign him unless there was something major like an injury or terrible culture fit.
