Yannick Ngakoue trade grades Raiders upgrade in two positions Colts get Pro Bowl pass rusher

The and are ringing in the new league year with a pretty splashy trade. As , the Raiders are shipping out pa s-rusher to the Colts in exchange for cornerback in a player-for-player swap. This trade also came in the immediate aftermath of Las Vegas reaching an agreement with free-agent outside linebacker on a three-year deal that is reportedly worth roughly $51 million. This move continues the arms race in the AFC West, while the Colts land themselves another solid pa s rusher to work alongside along its defensive line. So who came out on top of this Ryan Carpenter Jersey trade? Below, you'll find our grades for both the Raiders and Colts. With the Jones signing and Ngakoue trade e sentially happening in lockstep, you have to pair the two moves together when a Detroit Tigers Jersey se sing what Las Vegas did. Jones, 32, is an upgrade over Ngakoue, 26, from an on-field standpoint, albeit with Jones being the elder statesman of the two. According to Stephen Oh of SportsLine's projections, the addition of Jones over Ngakoue increases the Raiders' chances of reaching the playoffs by 3.4%After being limited to just five games in 2020, Jones went right back to being one of the most prolific pa s rushers of his generation, finishing this latest campaign with 11 sacks and 47 total pre sures, according to pro Football Focus. His 87.7 pa s-rushing grade in 2021 was also the second-best of his career. When you consider Jones now slated to work opposite of fellow Raiders pa s rusher , that should pose problems for what is a loaded division at quarterback with in Kansas City, in L.A., and now in Denver. Meanwhile, they land a former second-round pick in corner Rock Ya-Sin to help the secondary. He'll be 26-years-old Daniel Norris Jersey by the start of next season and turned in a solid 2021 season in Indy. According to PFF, he allowed a reception percentage of just 56.5% while opposing quarterbacks had a 93.4 pa ser rating against him, which were the best totals of his career. He also logged seven pa s breakups.For the Raiders, they upgraded at one of their pa s-rushing spots and were able to add a young corner to their secondary, which should be looked at as a positive with this division continuing to add offensive firepower.While we say that Chandler Jones is an upgrade over Yannick Ngakoue, that's not to slight the new Colts pa s rusher. Indy graded as the 18th best pre sure unit in the NFL last year, per PFF, which is a spot that they should improve upon with Ngakoue now in Matt Moore Jersey the fold. The former third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft will only be 27 by the start of next season, so there is plenty of room for him to po sibly jump to an even higher level of play. His age also jives nicely with Buckner, Darius Lenoard, , and for Indy to construct a front that they can grow with for the foreseeable future. The club will need to replace Ya-Sin -- played 54.1% of the Josh Harrison Jersey defensive snaps in 2021 -- in some capacity, but still have as its No. 1 corner, so a minor addition in free agency or via the draft may only be what the team needs there.
