Good luck figuring out what’s true and what isn’t, but this might be the blockbuster move of the draft and it would involve the Raiders.

According to Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com, the Raiders intend to offer pick 19 in tomorrow’s draft to the Jaguars for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.

“League sources tell WalterFootball.com that the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars are close to coming to an agreement on a trade for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue,” Campbell reported on Wednesday.

“The Raiders are offering the 19th-overall pick in the first round, while Jacksonville is asking for the 12th-overall pick. Sources say they don’t believe the Jaguars will get a better offer than a late top-20 pick, as Ngakoue has already stated that he won’t sign an extension with Jacksonville. Those team staffers feel that the Jaguars could come around to doing the trade for the 19th pick because Ngakoue has painted them into a corner.”

Just a guess, but if the Raiders could trade back a little from pick 19, they could probably get Ngakoue for a late first-round pick or even a second-round pick. And then would be the matter of getting him signed and taking a physical… which might be a little tough to pull off considering Ngakoue would need the physical by tomorrow.
