In the Ravens' lone loss of the season, they weren’t able to get to Patrick Mahomes as he threw all over the yard in a 34-20 Ravens loss that was closer on the scoreboard than the game indicated. New #Vikings edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue has generated the highest pressure rate in the NFL over the last four seasons when leading by 7+ points (14.7%). But those numbers were a bit misleading, considering the Ravens faced three teams with either poor quarterback play, poor offensive line play, or both. If he does get to free agency, he’ll likely fetch a big enough deal to net Baltimore a compensatory pick not too far off in value from the third-rounder used in the trade. Ngakoue is an impactful addition for one of the best teams in the NFL, even if the Ravens defense, which ranks fourth in Defensive DVOA per Football Outsiders, didn’t seem to be in need of reinforcements. Please check your email for a confirmation. We’ll start with Minnesota…. A win would net the bettor $14,760. He hasn't had a record that bad since 2000, his first season as the Patriots coach, when his team started 0-4 and managed to win two consecutive games. Let’s grade the deal for both the Ravens and Vikings. The move for Ngakoue can only help, as offensive lines now will have to make decisions about where to send their help: To Judon’s side, to Ngakoue’s side, or bunch protections to prevent collapsing pockets. This year, his only year in Minnesota, he’s registered five sacks in six games. The third? Now, the Ravens' defense — which ranks first in points allowed with 17.3 — has added another piece to what they hope is a championship puzzle. They’ll now have the option to continue to send the house, with assuredly increased efficiency, or to ease off the pressure and keep more in coverage. We saw the Chiefs exploit Martindale’s blitzes in Baltimore’s only loss on the season. And his cap hit — just over $5 million — isn’t going to kill the Ravens’ books. It doesn’t sound like a disastrous trade-off, but given the current records of Baltimore and Minnesota, it’s more like a two-round drop. The Ravens have 22 sacks this season, tied for second in the league, but as said before, those numbers are a bit skewed. It’s a third-round pick for a one-year loan of Ngakoue. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings and Ravens are finalizing a trade to send Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round pick. They got the 92nd pick from the Ravens. Now, the Ravens have two pass rushers they can trot out each series with confidence rather than the rotating cast they’ve used with Pernell McPhee, Tyus Bowser and Jaylon Ferguson. Even if Ngakoue doesn’t propel the Ravens to the Super Bowl, this trade likely won’t cost the team much in the end. For several reasons, the most prominent one being Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale and his highly-aggressive pressure package, which makes things easier for his edge rushers by creating blocking mismatches. What the Yannick Ngakoue trade means for the Ravens. He’ll join a defensive front with Matthew Judon on the opposite edge, along with Calais Campbell, Brandon Williams, Derek Wolfe and a host of others on the inside. pic.twitter.com/zCW4zQJTmU, — Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) September 8, 2020. Ngakoue should give the Ravens a better shot at doing so. According to Bleacher Report, someone bet that amount on the Giants quarterback to have the third touchdown of the game. Getting a third-round compensatory pick would have been the best-case scenario for Minnesota, and this trade ensures they get the best return. Defenses have had the most success against Patrick Mahomes when they can get after him with a standard rush. Ngakoue is a talented pass-rusher, and at just 25-years-old is still in the prime of his career. It’s the kind of low-risk/high-reward move we’ve seen this front office team make so often over the last decade. Either way, the Ravens should be able to get after the quarterback as good as anyone for the remainder of the season. Judon, who is under the franchise tag, has just two sacks in six games — though he leads the team in quarterbacks hits with 11. That’s how long the Yannick Ngakoue Era lasted in Minnesota before the Vikings shipped him off to Baltimore on Thursday in a trade that doubles as a sign that the 1-5 team is already looking ahead to the 2021 season and is probably in the beginning stages of a major rebuild. The Bucs' receiving corps could soon become even more difficult to defend. Now, with one of the best secondaries in football, they’ll have a pass rush that can be equally as dominant. If you watched the Ravens over the last three weeks, upgrading the pass rush seemed like it would be last on the list of priorities as the trade deadline approached. The Ravens have traded for Vikings defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, with sources telling ESPN that Minnesota is getting a 2021 third-round draft pick and a 2022 conditional fifth-round pick. The price is fair. The Ravens agreed to terms Thursday on a trade for Minnesota Vikings defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The Vikings basically traded a second-round pick for a third-round pick just to have Ngakoue on the roster for six games. While the Ravens are 5-1, it’s easy to see the correlation to how this relates to the Chiefs. The second to Golden Tate. I do think that first trade should be factored into how we view the move for Baltimore, as it set a market value for a player of Ngakoue’s ability. According to multiple reports on Friday night, the Bucs are working toward adding another All-Pro talent at the position, at the behest of quarterback Tom Brady. He said previously he’s confident in his play so far this season and thinks he’s been playing well, even if the stats aren’t there to back it up. In hindsight, that first trade looks like an inexcusable mistake by the front office, but I don’t think it should affect how we view today’s trade from the Vikings’ perspective. Free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown's eight-game suspension for violating the personal conduct policy will soon conclude, and the polarizing star will be eligible to be reinstated after Week 8. Now, the Ravens' defense — which ranks first in points allowed with 17.3 — has added another piece to what they hope is a championship puzzle. The Ravens sacked opposing quarterbacks 16 times in the last three weeks, all wins, as they’ve made life for their opponents difficult in the pocket in the last month. Ngakoue (acquired in a trade from JAX) replaces Everson Griffen (signed with DAL) who ranks 3rd by the same metric. DE Yannick Ngakoue; An absolute solid trade by Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta. After trading a second-rounder (and conditional fifth) to the Jaguars for Ngakoue back in August, the Vikings had to settle for a third-rounder (and conditional fifth) in order to get Ngakoue off their books. I would expect those numbers to take a huge jump now that he’s in Baltimore. An important note, too, is that with Ngakoue, they should be able to get after opposing quarterbacks by rushing just four. Based on the standings today, the Vikings sent the 37th pick to Jacksonville.
