Quote:Ngakoue is massively overrated by this fanbase. You do not pass on drafting a future All-Pro because you have Ngakoue. Fowler will probably be better than Ngakoue next year and I don't have any qualms about sitting him on the bench either. Anyway, if you're concerned about him sitting on the bench then you should be worried about signing JPP altogether, since Allen doesn't even play the same type of position as Ngakoue. Ngakoue is a designated pass rusher, that's it. He SHOULD be coming off the bench behind two good starters. If Fowler tightens up then he should be behind him too. It's a good thing when a guy like Ngakoue is your 4th best pass rusher, not your 1st-2nd.

Yannick did fine in all phases, not sure why he should only be an off the bench guy. Fowler hasnt shown anything to suggest hell be better than Yannick unless he suddenly actually becomes good at rushing off the edge. Yannick showed more in his rookie season than fowler did, so why are you assuming Fowlers development and not yannicks? Why does fowler become a better player despite already being behind yannick but yannick doesn't develop enough to be a 2nd best pass rusher?


This is just a severe underrating of yannick, a total lack of the concept of development, and generally not a good use of value in any facet.
