Minnesota Vikings to trade for Jaguars DE Yannick Ngakoue

In the early hours of Sunday morning, the Minnesota Vikings made a move that could significantly alter the balance of the NFC North. As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Vikings are trading for Jacksonville Jaguars edge defender Yannick Ngakoue. The Vikings are sending Jacksonville a second-round pick plus a conditional fifth-round pick that could raise as high as a third-round pick. If Ngakoue is a Pro Bowler this year, it becomes a fourth-round pick. If the Vikings win the Super Bowl and Ngakoue makes the Pro Bowl, it’s a third-round pick.
