3. Yannick Ngakoue – Jacksonville Jaguars

How about a homecoming? Yannick Ngakoue was picked in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Jaguars and has been nothing but a solid edge rusher in the NFL during his entire career. In fact, he’s never had less than 8.0 sacks in his seven-year career.

He’s not much of a run blocker, but he’s got an insane value as someone who can simply get to the QB with ease.

According to teamrankings.com, the Jaguars had one of the lowest sack rates in the NFL last year, so that’s why I think they’d be a great fit for Ngakoue. The Jags are by far the best team in the AFC South and can begin to make those “luxury” moves that many contending teams make.

4. DeAndre Hopkins – New York Giants

The best fit for DeAndre Hopkins is the New York Giants. I think if the Giants really want to build around Daniel Jones and give him a chance to succeed, they’ll go out and sign Hopkins. They really didn’t do a ton at wide receiver in the offseason outside of re-signing some of their own guys, but the trade for Darren Waller was nice.

Adding Hopkins to this mix might give the Giants one of the best trio of weapons in the NFL in Hopkins, Waller, and Saquon Barkley. I also do not think Daniel Jones is very good, so surrounding him with elite weapons would be a smart decision.
