The Lions need a pass rusher and feel like they will be just short of getting Chase Young and we need a high caliber CB to replace Jalen, plus his cap number wouldn't be as high as Ngakoue. We can then start Allen and keep Campbell on the other end for at least this season. We might loose depth but gain someone way better than what we would get at #20 plus saves us cap money and we draft replacement depth.


Just my $0.02

He’s 29, though. What’s the productive lifespan of a CB?

Two more years, maybe. But you'd get only one year on his current deal with a 13 million cap hit.

Slay also isn't "under-rated." There is a ton of buzz about him in the free agent market from what I read. But he's at that age where he could begin regressing at any time. I think he'd be an upgrade for us in 2020, but is it worth it? Doubtful for a trade and a 13 mil payout. Drafting a corner early feels like a better fix. 

I think the Jags are best served getting something like a 2nd and 3rd rd pick for Ngakoue. Or maybe an early 2nd and a solid young player with a reasonable contract that helps a weak position group.
