New York Giants

The New York media has campaigned for the Giants to make a move for Ngakoue since the end of the 2019 season. The main reason for this is that the Giants haven’t had a prominent pass-rusher since Jason Pierre-Paul’s freak injury in 2015. Former general manager Jerry Reese did invest in Olivier Vernon back in 2016, but he never tallied more than 8.5 sacks in a season during his time there.

The Giants desperately want to get back to playing disruptive defense, and with their pick just outside of the range of landing Chase Young, perhaps the next best solution is to trade for Ngakoue. A package deal would be an interesting discussion here, with the Jaguars unlikely to accept pick 36 if other teams are offering first-rounders.

Ultimately, time will tell if the Giants want to get involved in the rumors surrounding Ngakoue, and if they do, it might require them to get creative to land him.
