Like their in-state rivals, the New York Jets could use help in the trenches. They’ve sunk significant draft-capital into the defensive line in recent years, including Quinnen Williams (No. 3 overall pick from 2019), and two second-round picks in Nathan Shepherd and Jachai Polite. With mixed success coming from those investments, it makes sense for Joe Douglas to try and secure a proven pass-rusher instead.

Whether the Jets would be comfortable packaging the 11th overall pick in a potential trade for Ngakoue remains to be seen, but it would certainly give the Jaguars front office incentive to orchestrate a deal.
