As the trade talks continued, Vikings brass viewed it as relatively low-risk once a first-round pick was off the table. In the worst-case scenario, Ngakoue decides not to re-sign with the Vikings in the offseason. But given his planned production and next contract, the Vikings would likely still receive a third-round compensatory pick in that event. So while they’re giving up a second-round and conditional fifth, they’ll likely either sign Ngakoue to a long-term deal (something they’d view as a win) or get a third-round pick when he leaves, mitigating what the Vikings gave the Jaguars.
